I believe so too and I know there are a lot of people out there who have had it so much worse than I have and I empathize with them. I understand their pain and I tell them the same things that you just told me, to look at that horrible experience as an opportunity to become stronger and better than those who hurt you. That's how you take your revenge: by proving to them that you survived their abuse and came out even better.
Thanks for the amazing comment! Hope to see you again :)
