I'm sitting here working on my 4th step for the first time. I'm writing out my resentments. I researched a lot of material, read the instructions in the BB closely, found a good worksheet to help me organize the information, but am still having some difficulty with the fourth part about the nature of my wrongs. What does this mean? I mean, if someone beat the hell out of you and raped you, and you're resentful towards that person, how do you examine your own wrongdoing in that type of situation? I'm not trying to avoid this part of the step, I'm just confused and need some guidance. I'm meeting with my sponsor tomorrow, but any insights any of you have in the meantime would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.
