What fascinates me, is that I became none of these 4 things. I read a book called The Transcendent Child---i am that child.
I've written my memoir: Ghost Child to Triumph (from a child with no voice, to someone who speaks up against injustice in the world), and have a publisher interested.
Until I read that book, I had no idea about how, when, or why..(some children can transcend the evil/brutality, abuse, and some cannot)...no one does.....i think most of it is genetic. In my case, I know it is..
My t asked me how I was able to overcome a childhood of violence/verbal abuse, physical abuse, being molested, poverty, etc.....
I told him: "My faith, wicked wit and sense of humor."
Without my sense of humor, I would be drooling in a corner, somewhere!Smiles, Ally (born standin' up and talkin' back!)
