Hopelessness Need Not Be Forever
Illustration★★★What makes a person resilient? In studies of children who have come from abusive home situations and then have gone on to lead successful and happy lives, almost all found an adult or mentor outside the immediate family—a grandmother, a minister or some loving person. Someone who gave them a sense of being loved and important.
The point
Studies show that abused children who find one caring mentor outside their family often develop resilience and lead successful, happy lives.
