I like this progression. In my mind though the terms survivor and surviving are not synonymous. Also for me I think in some ways I am a survivor, at times I even experience fully living status. Unfortunately, in other ways it doesn't take but a single word or action to send me back to being a victim. I think that is the tangled nature of abuse. No matter how well you've healed... there is still some scar tissue that causes you aches and pains when stressed. I guess the key is in acceptance of where you are at any given time.
