@kanyewest Ahh okay. I would have asked anyway since I hadn’t heard the word used that way before.
Children hide their struggles pretty well, or rather: don’t know how to show it or talk about it, and are easily distracted by fun, so it’s very difficult to see. -
When a child experiences extreme adversity, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, neglect and trauma; There are two possible outcomes.
1) Drug abuse, addicition, financial problems, depression, anxiety, isolation, bad grades and unemployment, early death or suicide.
Or if the child manages to survive, go past the adversity:
2) Become a superhuman. Experience entertainment, happiness in small things even more. Utilize dissociative identity disorder by achieving mental and physical prowess by false yet true belief of the persona.
