I chose Rita because she is, in her own way, as damaged as me.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker explains choosing Rita through a perceived similarity: she is damaged too, although differently. That comparison makes shared vulnerability the stated basis for the choice. The phrase 'in her own way' preserves a distinction between them rather than claiming their experiences are identical.
