“You own everything that has happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”— Anne Lamont

“Even if you know what’s coming, you’re never prepared for how it feels.”— Natalie Standiford
You have a right to come out of trauma uglier and meaner and angrier 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, hold on 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.
