Hi Jai,
To answer your questions, yeah, this experience was taken from my life--it happened, alot actually, from about age three until maybe fourteen or so (I'm now 42.) I tuned out (dissociated) pretty early on but in therapy I'm remembering more. My brother was mentally ill (raging, very, very violent) and unfortunately I was not protected from him.
Thanks so much for reading. :)
