survivor is at the top of my list, joined by victim and weirdly enough - rape. I have a hard time thinking of what happened to me as rape. I can cope with 'I was abused' or even 'traumatized' -- but...
And I hate 'beaten' -- don't ask me why. I describe it as being hit, hurt, slapped or even kicked (she winces) but I just can't tolerate it when my therapist says 'he beat you' -- I wonder why that is?
B2 - I'm with you about that circle. Maybe we could get a great big parachute and all grab the edges and go under together. I hope you are feeling better soon. Sometimes I feel like you are writing for me, which is scary.
