right now i think these words are part of a spectrum of responses and effects of harm against someone.
a healthy person who is harmed becomes a victim, who becomes a survivor as he/she heals and strives to regain an unchained life. A survivor can become recovered after she/he works through the issues to such a full extent that the original harm has little effect. What i think i hope to become ultimately is a Victor. it is a fight, a struggle and a progressive effort to get to the place of victor and i suspect one is considerably older when he/she gets to the place of Victor!
i couldn't resist putting my 2 cents worth in on the discussion. i was interested in English in college and the more i read the more i see the power of words - for good and for evil. sometimes knowing the word and its right meaning is part of what begins to help me focus on recovering from the confusing mess of pain that was my childhood.
Also, i think the actions of recovery come along and get done before we find real solid emotional freedom restored to us. But, WE WILL GET THERE!!!!! hugs if you want them,
