I can't buy that. I have a hard time believing normal survivors who are always sad and can't even gets worse out. It was you life, the only way you knew things to be for years. Children's minds accept the crazy things they are presented with. If the perverts thought you were worth keeping around it's likely because you weren't depressed constantly.

But then again I only speak from personal experience. I've been to lots of survivor meetings and the sad ones are actually rare but more vocal because they say the "right" things.
