Tamar,
I hate to bother you but you seem to know a lot about this, but I know you are going through a tough time, so I don't want to make it worse, so it this is too hard, just never mind, okay.
While I was being abused as a child, I would pretend it wasn't happening to me, I pretended that I was in my safe place the woods where I used to hide all day from my mother. But It didn't work very well when it was my brother getting it, so this is why I remembered him being abused but not so much me. But I really got good at being somewhere else while I was being abused.
Growing up I used to pretend it didn't happen, I pretended my family wasn't really my family in order to survive and to feel normal. Would this be concidered splitting? I don't do this as an adult but only while I was a child and adolensence. Any ideas, this is kinda of scary ya know?
