I would indeed agree that is abuse.

The more I realize that my mind and the mind of other innocent children was taken out and had a sledge hammer put to that empty pure mirror, the angrier I get. And for what? So they can force DID on a person in order to make alters!??? !!!!

I am not theirs! I am not a dog. I was not born with DID. I came into this world WHOLE.
I once believed as you did, that the adults that harmed me were purposely setting out to create DID in me. then my therapist explained to me the errors in that core belief of mine. only children can create alters. given where I come from the adults didnt know about mental disorders. I asked her if I was crazy for thinking that. she said no. all survivors with DID once they discover how their alters came to be usually think some sort of core belief about they did something wrong to get this or their abusers set out on purpose to create this mental disorder. She said she had older clients who were DID that also believed their abuser set out to purposely create DID. I asked her what happened. She told me she pulled out some books and showed them how its only been the past 10-25 yrs that the mental health community has discovered how DID was created. before then DID wasnt even called DID. it was MPD and there were less than a handful of documented cases available to the mental community and only a couple of those were available through tv shows and a couple books. those shows and books didnt say how DID was created because back then they didnt know that side of MPD. she then told me like she did her older clients -

yes what I went through was horrific and gross and terrible and these abusers set out to make you conform to their will and do what they wanted you to do. but they didnt set out to create a mental disorder. At frist I didnt believe her so she showed me how in books there was a couple cases of MPD that went back in history a ways but the doctors didnt know how the alters were created, the mental health community discovered how DID was created not too long ago going back only about 25 yrs. and they are still learning about DID and how its created.

what she told me helped me to put things back in perspective and deal with the fact that they did horrible things to me.
