I do not apply either of the terms 'victim' or 'survivor' to myself. I am me - no more, no less (well, apart from a bunch of internal hangers-on, aka 'alts'! ) But, neither a victim nor a survivor am I.

I am just a person living my life, and each thing that happened in that life is a part of my total story. I am more than the abusive acts I have experienced, and - basically - I refuse to give my abusers as much power as saying I had 'survived them' would.

I am not their 'victim'.
I am ME.
