>Children give up.
Fuck that. Not all children give up. I had an unbelievably abusive childhood, physical, not sexual, and I never gave in. I relished the beatings, I pissed in his bourbon bottle, I put shit in his sandwiches, I fucked up his vehicles, I sabotaged his business, I fucked with his relationship with my mom, I made him fucking crazy until he killed himself. Then I joined the Marine Corps for some R&R. In 1966. Not every kid gives up, some grow stronger, much stronger.
