I understand what Britney Spears is talking about. IT is difficult enough to be a woman without being put into a conservatorship and to be manipulated as an adult like she was.
It makes me think back at the traumas of my own life. I watched friends and acquaintances die and wither along the way ever since about 1950 when I was 2 years old. Watching friends wither and die from the traumas of life in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, was for me very very traumatizing. However, I come from Survivor Stock, from pioneer Stock of those who first came to this country from Europe and settled here. So, my line (especially my father's line) dates back to 1725 from Zurich, Switzerland through a ship from likely London, England then in the early 1700s to Philadelphia up the river there. So, if you can imagine having relatives fighting in the Revolutionary War and Civil war and World War I and II you can imagine the traumas suffered by members of my family since 1725 here in the U.S.
The point is, I'm a survivor where we go on no matter what happens, we persevere no matter what happens. This just seems to be a family trait while we watch so many of our friends and compatriots die or go under mentally or emotionally along the way.
It's not that we don't suffer too. It's that we find a way to go on with our broken hearts, with friends dying and going crazy, with all the things that can happen in one's life. We find a way to eventually get up and move forward and create new lives for ourselves no matter how beloved our friends and relatives are that die or are driven insane along the way.
By God's Grace
