Calling me survivor makes my back go up; I'm not sure why, I should probably explore. I hate the word "victim" even more. And I don't like empty platitudes of how well I've done, given the circumstances I've grown up in. I don't like to be complimented on how far I've gone.
So what's with that? I haven't figured out the dynamics yet. I know I didn't grow up "normally," but all these words make me feel freakish--for me only, not for anyone else, as the case usually is.
