According to the results of paradigm model, the core category was ’Being willing to live the present while caring for the mind despite the thorough loneliness in the wounds afflicted by the family.

This can be summarized as a process of striving to survive one's own life by repeating despair and growth in a spiral. The results of this study were discussed.
