If you have read the recent comments you will notice they have dealt with self-improvement and taking control over ones life.  I strongly believe this. I know it can be done because I did it. I had a choice.  I could be like my abusers and be what they wanted to make me.  Or I could make sure I was never like them in anyway. I chose the second one. I think I made the correct choice. I prefer to help others than hurt them; I don’t need to harm others to make myself feel better. I like being kind and nice.  I like lifting others up even if it is just with a hello and a smile.  I treat the people I meet in my life as the humans they are with feelings and needs, not just objects to my own goals. Yes, I think I made the right choice.     Hugs
