I am a survivor and no longer a victim. I will go thru whatever it takes to be whole.
The warrior in me is ever present even thru the most painful and difficult of times.

I belive on working towards the ability to say "I have survive." I no longer am being actively abused, but my life is not stable enough for me to say that I am truly where I need to be and I have dealt with everything I need to deal with.

some days I feel like a victim because I feel defeated and weak. Other days I feel like a survivor because I remember I have hope and I'm still fighting.

definately a survivor because i use my experience to help others and dont feel sorry for myself for what has happened.

I have a pin on my purse that says: "Be a survivor, not a victim." This is my philosophy for life. I lived after my abuse. I'm driving on. That makes me a survivor. I'll never be a victim ever again.

Survivor- the worst is passed because that is exactly what it is - the past. Nothing that is going to happen to me now is ever going to be as bad as that was.
I use my experiences now to help others and to work with professionals raising awareness and understanding. That means what happened to me now has a positive purpose instead of haunting me and making me miserable.

Not a dumb question a very valid one. I think I spent years blocking because I couldn't face the thought of others viewing me as a victim. I am me , with a past a present and a future, thats all there is to it.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
