It's interesting people's concept about the word survivor and victim. We have attached a negative connotation to the word victim, but if a person was assaulted, they were victimized, and did not choose it. The push by friends/family to see that victim become a survivor immediately can be detrimental to the healing process of that person. Even when someone achieves, or appears to have achieved that 'survivor' mode, the bottom line is they still were victimized and they will relive it over the years at different times, but do to pressures from friends/family they won't be able to discuss it, because after all, they are SURVIVORS now.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
