“I could stay bitter about all that now, or I could accept it and my behavior as that of a survivalist. That’s what my therapist in San Francisco helped me realize—that what I was doing while being subjected to my parents’ abuse was surviving. I tried to do the best for me and my sister. The best that I knew how to do in order to cope. That included lying. That included overeating. That included some mean and awful behavior toward Amy and others.”

“Do I have regrets? Sure. But do I know I was doing the best I knew how to do at the time? Absolutely. It’s not like someone handed me a handbook titled All the Right Decisions and I never read it.”

“These days if someone notices a scar, usually on my upper arms or legs, and asks about it, I tell them the reason it’s there. I move my finger along the scar proudly, showing it off as if I were one of The Price Is Right models displaying a prize. That’s what these scars are. Prizes.”
