Snodderly I do wonder if some of those who don't make it out never had enough joy in life to make the possibility of a new identity worth trying for? I suspect those that were very happy for a period of their life, even after a damaged childhood/adolescence have a desire to recreate something. But if you were never really happy, or not for long enough, perhaps thatis the problem. I don't know, I am only speculating here, and don't want to upset anyone by pushing this line along too far . . .
