What abilities have you proven that separate your sense of being, how you identify yourself, from the events you’ve experienced?

I was eight when the pedophile started making me accessible to cult abusers, a hate and rage cult. Thankfully, only every couple of years. The pedophile didn’t seem to be active in the actual cult abuse. It was more like they gave him permission to be a pedophile, if he provided them with children. The effect on my life was devastating, but I was able to wall off the devastation until I could muster the knowledge, tools and understanding to deal with it. Our minds are really amazing in the different ways there are to survive. The majority of me that grew older was able to maintain the attitude, from after the car accident, of trusting things to work out eventually and always being cared for.
