>>Is there something I could have/should have done differently? Like that woman in Australia in that article on another thread, why was "she" wearing that dog collar? Her psychologist said she made him put it on her because she could not be helped any other way. She made dog collars necessary. He believes that. But I want to know how could that possibly be true? <<
Oh toojane, I understand where you're going with this - it's the same as I was saying about colluding with mental illness, of making it a part of ourselves.
But I don't like to hear you say it. There's something wrong about it.
I think it's important to keep going back to the origin, to our innocence, to the abuse, and to keep naming it. Everything else is a consequence.
Otherwise we end up accepting a diagnosis of masochistic personality disorder. And that is not ok.
