Although I think there is a difference, when it comes down to it, between "got wounded" and "had wounder for a father" (unless of course she was wounded by the father). I mean, the latter, technically, is trying to keep from going bad (and I think Goren exemplifies that, with the whole "understanding of serial killers/schizophrenics" thing... but I'm kind of obsessed with Criminal Intent). The former is usually trying to recover strength or achieve a fairly absolute and simple vengeance. True that they both may have to remake themselves in purity, however, depending on the nature of the wound.
