Never mind the character and stick to the alibi. Nothing like an alibi, nothing. Take the book in your right hand, this is your name and handwriting, you swear that the contents of this, your affidavit are true so help you God, a shilling you must get a change I have not got it. You do not have to focus exclusively on the painful parts of your relational legacy. You must also learn to honor the strengths you gained from your early experiences. Within our vulnerabilities are the seeds of our strength. Despite having endured a very good childhood, I discovered the truth of what my dad always told me, “That which does not kill you, makes you stronger.” I loved when my father would read my bedtime stories because it made me feel safe and warm. The stories helped me to survive the very painful reality that I was facing. In my blue bedroom, there was a delightful World of fantasy, where anything was possible. I was unquestionably dependent on my father’s nighttime visitation; I enjoyed the adventures my father created for me. In these stores, my father created an ever-continuing hero’s tale in which I was a brave little ship’s captain, navigating a magical journey in the Albatross, which was filled with whimsical people who were free to become anything they chose. My father played the role of a former CIA operative, who stopped at nothing to rescue me from sadistic kidnappers. My dad used his brutally efficient skills to take out his heavily armed foes one by one. Fortunately, the day came when we escaped. We were no longer silent and started telling new stories that released us from the shame and isolation. This allowed us to heal because we created a World in which we were whole, powerful, successful, and happy. We became people with a large repertoire of responses and emotions. Virtue is one all over the World, and there is only one faith, one conceivable conduct of life, one manner of strong expression.
