Oh, wow Kazanscube! I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner but I just saw this question now.
That's a deep question for me. I am a survivor of long-term calculated and sinister abuse involving confinement, violence, degradation, identity theft, financial theft and psychological control by fear. I say this on a public forum because I'm no longer ashamed to admit what I endured in the course of seven years, and I hope to help others in whatever small ways I can.
My road to recovery began in 2009 and it has been rocky at best, but I've come a long way especially with my ASD diagnosis in May. WP has been a big part of this, and especially my dear confidantes without whom I can't always face the day.
Old or new me? Assuming I can't go back to my life pre-2002 when it all began, I choose a mix of both Isabellas. Thank you Kortie for seeing the importance for me to integrate both people, so that I can use my horrendous experience as a springboard to the future.
The name Isabella Linton is in tribute to a heroine in
Wuthering Heights who met a fate similar to mine. I draw strength from her character and hope others can be equally inspired by the will to endure.
Isabella
