Reply to "Dissociative Identity Disorder in the Courtroom"

First and foremost, I want to say is that I am also sorry for what you went through. As a retired police officer I understand the effects of trauma especially in early childhood years. Dissociate Identity Disorder is also wildly misunderstood. Most only understand the Hollywood version.DID is a direct response to ACE's in early childhood.

I have a dear friend who suffers from DID. She was sexually abuse by her whole family from the age of 2 until she turned 17. Today she is married and has children and no contact with her family. She sees a psychologist a few times a week.Currently, she has uncovered 85 different personalities. Safety is her number priority!

Until the day judges are educated about ACE's and the effects of stress in early childhood your situation will be repeated over and over again. Just understand that there will be a time when this will happen. Just remember what happened to you is not your fault. Continue to seek help and keep your support system near to you.
