Description

Art/cardboard/paint and photos/image of a profile with a question mark/9 photos of children/ "The first time he raped me I was 5. I had an out of body experience that day, seeing myself over there, from over here. He heinously satisfied himself for the next 3 years, each time I would go away, mentally. As years passed and multiple others had their way, I started having big lapses in memory. I was doing things I don't remember doing, and unable to control what was happening. Today I know what was going on, after years of intense therapy and healing, I discovered I have D.ID.-Dissociative Identity Disorder. I developed 9 altered states ranging from 18 months-18 years. 3 girls, 6 boys. It enabled me to cope as a little boy and then used as life moved on to deal with the abuse I endured and the damage it has done. Today, I'm considered high functioning, although the anxiety, panic attacks and manic episodes are a daily battle. The little ones come out ot play now, which is refreshing."/14.25"x8"
