I had some testing done...and it was all sent to T with this pleasant letter about me...ugh.
So two highlights of the letter: Quote:
Quote:
Survivor. why is that such a buzz word? I did nothing. I survived because they didn't kill me, period. They let me survive, I didn't choose to. I haven't really worked for anything, except to try to forget by forming tons of self destructive behaviors and avoidance techniques. I am a breast cancer survivor too. Big freakin deal. I lived, the cancer didn't take me out. Why does this make me special?

Maybe they are trying to use a word instead of victim? I'm not sure. I get what you're saying though.

Sounds like you don't want to give yourself any credit?

P.s. you are special, and not just because you survived these things. ++

doesn't it kind of discredit the people who didn't survive? Like I am somehow better or stronger then them?

It is wrong for you to stand out?

you're not alone in this. if you put yourself down, you put us down. we feel just like you. we came from the same circumstances. it was never our choice.it wasnt our choice to survive either- I like the way you put it- honets!we dont look down at others as we are so busy trying to get through life on a daily basis. we have thoughts to deal with. I have guilt too.I guess we are unique and placed here for each other who 'suffered this plight' or 'survived this abuse'.Its okay. we now have the right to feel any way we want to. I see the world as surreal at times. Its okay. Thats how i go about it.

 I seriously don't want to be considered strong or brave just because I lived through it. I don't want to be labeled and given a title that I haven't earned.And why did he have to write "brutal abuse". It freaks me out. I just want to take a bottle of white out to the whole report. I never used the word brutal.

It feels better to minimize what happened to you?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
