Hey Dory,
How is that paper coming along? ;-) Thanks for writing what you think, it is helpful to me.
I guess I thinking along the line that something a lot of the best of poets, musicans, and artists do have a lot in common and one is that they have a history of abuse growing up. The silver lining would be their work. But who knows maybe they could have produced the same work if they were not abused.
Thank goodness this isn't a research paper, lol, I only have to present one side of the arguement and use the story for evidence.
My T and I were talking about life's tramatic things, and how something good does come out of it ususally if you look . He said the 3 most traumatic things that has ever happened to him, he would never take back if he could live over again because there was a silver lining.So it got me thinking about my own past and how it changed me and how maybe there are results (good and bad) that helped me develop into the who I am today. I do see a certain about of strengh that surviors have. Good luck on your paper Dory, wanna switch?
