ou have a right to come
out
of trauma uglier and meaner
and less forgiving.
And being
a "bad survivor" does not
impinge
upon your validity as a survivor or how deserving you are of
care, healing, and recovery. Grow claws and fangs, hate the
people who hurt you,holdon to your grudges 'til your
grave, never forgive and never forget if that's what you
need. And don't let anyone judge or shame you for what
gives you that scrap of safety, or security, or healing, that
the cruelty of others had denied you.
