It makes me so sad that people on this board (and elsewhere) have been so badly abused that they had to fragment their personality just to get through it. When is this society going to realize how terrible child abuse is and do something about it? I know there are attempts, but so many states just seem to totally drop the ball. And there is such secrecy that often, no one even knows. But are there no clues at all, do neighbors and other relatives really have no inkling?
Then the therapists have to try to put things back together, but I think it should be seen as a societal problem, not just a therapy issue.
I just feel a sense of indignation that children have to go through this...and admiration that they survive. I was never even abused, just maybe a little verbally, and that was hard enough!
