[quote=Anonymous]I am torn about this poster and this thread.  On the one hand, I can and do know many individuals who have risen above utter cruelty, pathology, terrorizing parents, etc. and who have accomplished -- along with their siblings -- so very much despite their circumstances.  They have my admiration and I appreciate their willingness to share and to reflect.  On the other hand, there are people who, for whatever reason, engage in spinning stories that are not true -- sometimes because they are pathological themselves, sometimes for 'fun' -- who knows.  My gut is telling me and has told me since the first post that something's askew here, other than the exceptional, horrid abuse the poster reports.  (The syntax doesn't work -- at points the poster's language is very sophisticated and at points it's more immature -- and some of the narrative seems to fall apart at points, although if I'd lived the life the poster reports, I'd certainly have trouble sharing it without some 'fall apart.')

I guess, in some ways, it doesn't matter whether the poster is a troll or someone who is able to share his/her story with us (albeit not with his/her spouse).....It *is* true that every day, children survive the abuses the poster reports.  If someone finds solace or healing in reading these posts, then perhaps it's all 'okay.'

Peace and healing to those who suffer the kinds of childhoods this poster relates, regardless of this thread's veracity.....[/quote]
