But my point is that not all folks are that strong. What works for strong-willed people like you will simply not work for others. That's all that I'm saying.
I agree, and it is unfortunate that those who are not strong and seek professional help, don’t get it eh world of psychology today. Instead they are told to be victims and given another appointment for years on end.
I would add, imo, whatever I went though MADE me strong. I also got sweet revenge, when after high school I lost some weight, was able to dress in new clothing instead of hand me downs, and learned to apply make-up and style my hair. When I ran into guys from high school, they would insist I was not who I said I was. Sweet! I was able to laugh and walk away.
