My only response to you would be that you should take immense pride in the fact that you beat the odds. (Just by posting here I'm sure you have)

You've faced a challenge in life that would destroy most people, and you overcame it. I can only wish that I have the same determination as you.

Thanks, seriously. I don't know that I am extraordinarily resilient or if the circumstances just sound worse to an outsider than they really were. In either case I don't have to think too hard to come up with somebody who has it worse than me, which is always a sobering thought.
