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.

    Or, both?
    Because both.

    Mostly the former, though.
    Pretty much exclusively the former…

    @Root Yep, perhaps almost like 98% the former. But people say most children are dandeline.

    @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.

    That's the saddest and perhaps truest thing I've read today. Breaks my heart.
