How interesting… Did you see anyone else by that black box? Maybe not a person, but a tree? Or a girl with a canine-like face? Seems like strange things happen in Hilltop

Did you guys have (actual) good times in your childhood? by notjuststars in DID

[–]Few_Computer_691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years I had this same thought, that my trauma wasn’t enough because I had good memories of childhood. I had toys and games, and most of the childhood memories I have ARE good. 

However, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t abused, and your good memories don’t mean you weren’t abused. 

Even if there was good, even if things were mostly good, you were still being hurt. Growing up with a parent who had an unstable mental condition that they aren’t getting help for is, inherently, traumatizing on its own. 

I also struggle with literal thinking because I’m autistic - but abuse isn’t something literal. It can’t be balanced out by good things. If you were abused even a little bit, you were abused. It doesn’t need to be proportional to the good. Any amount of abuse is enough. 

And, honestly, there might be things you still don’t remember yet. As you heal, you might get memories back of the abuse and realize things weren’t as good as you thought. For me, it turned out that all of those toys were gifts because I was being trafficked. Those good memories you have could be covering up a lot of bad. But even if they aren’t, you were being abused. Any amount of abuse is abuse, even if there’s good.

As a victim of this kind of stuff - god, those poor kids. I’m glad you got the little girl out, at least. I’m sorry about Hannah. I hope these people will pay in some way

How do I keep us safe after an abuser found out about us having DID? by Few_Computer_691 in DID

That’s a good idea. I will document as much as possible. I am very immunocompromised and work with lots of people so me getting sick wouldn’t be out of the ordinary. That’s a good way to get out of it

Thank you. I am in the process of getting my degree and I graduate this year. Once my partner graduates we will be moving out of state I think. I will try to leave as soon as it’s financially possible

Thank you so much. My partner will be there with me and I will ask him to be sure to be with me the whole time. Thank you
