Playing the victim

I write, I edit, I am creative but sometimes words and phrases don't come out. It took a comedian on telly (their ability to observe and vocalize is amazing) to jog out those 3 words: 'Playing the victim' for me to get it. In MC I searched for this phrase, this expression. If there is one thing I HATE about my W it is that she loves to play the victim. It is constant and it is wearing me down to a frazzle. Does any one else experience this and how can it be dealt with?
