My Child Tells Others We Aren't Meeting Her Basic Needs - Weekend Wisdom

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.

Question: I have a daughter who has dealt with trauma from consistent experiences of neglect and abandonment. While our home is loving and supportive, she continues to exhibit a victim mentality and has a hard time taking responsibility for her actions. She's a sweet girl, but she makes comments to others that insinuate she is not having her most basic needs met, which is simply not the case. How can we help her, and how should we be responding to her self-victimization?
