When I was four I used to insist on watching E.T. once a week. At the end, without fail, I would be a sobbing hysterical mess who could not be consoled because watching Elliot lose his best friend to another galaxy was very hard for my four year old brain to process. And yet, a week or so later, I would want to watch it again. Even as a small child I enjoyed reveling in tragedy, and making myself miserable, it seems
Oh no, I'm definitely not an expert on D.I.D. I went through a period as a teenager where I was absolutely obsessed with it, and read everything I could get my hands on, and that's where my knowledge comes from.
From what I can gather they don't know the cause in terms of the personality splitting in one brain and not in another. I think the most interesting thing I find about it all is that it doesn't happen to everyone, that you can put two kids in the same situation and only one of them might develop it, because it takes a certain type of brain.
Anyway, anyway, I guess I mean that abuse doesn't cause it, but it is, in most cases, the trigger, or at least some kind of terribly stressful event is. (You know, other than suggestive therapy, which seems to be a major cause of the doubt surrounding it's existence at all)
God, if you can't tell I could really go on about it forever. So I'm going to stop before I bore you to death! In conclusion, I'm so very interested to see where Cody takes it, and I'm so impressed with Colette. And I'm so grateful that you commented! Thank you!
