There must be a school or something that teaches them these cold hearted skills. I could relate to so many things Trena said and experienced then and is experiencing now. It was both frightening and comforting that Trena was able to go on and escape to some degree. For anyone who has had an abusive past, I recommend this book. Best wishes to Trena and her siblings.
