Any one who has been in an battered spouse relationship, where they were cut off from family and friends and refused to press charges against the spouse hurting them and many of those who have had ongoing incest or sexual abuse history's would be able to relate. I think it is the use of a non DSM code word that is keeping people from identifying with you. If you are looking for others to relate to (((kindachaotic))) is right there would be many here that would identify with you if you ever felt safe enough or ready to share your story. There are many people who have identified with their abusers and protected them. You can read other post and find those you relate to, and get more comfortable here at PC.
