I think for me, there is a process....

I think I did start out feeling like a victim. T has helped me see myself as a survivor, at least in a couple of areas....I literally did what I had to do to SURVIVE, and somehow that feels more powerful than victim. So that feels better.

But I want all of the things that have happened to me to just be part of my life...so like others have said, I won't be a victim or a survivor....I'll just be "Me", with all of the good and bad experiences that go along with that.
