How would that work? Would it "disappear" the man who caused my DID/PTSD? I'm not the only one he affected. But that would also cause the disappearance of his daughter who owned the housed and his granddaughter who was my best friend.
It would have changed me so fundamentally, I would not have "changed" from the bright outgoing child to the withdrawn reader. Because I would still be deaf, I might not be as proficient in English as I am. I might not have gotten a scholarship to college.
I would not have married the man who abused me & not had my daughter not my grandson. Would I undo my daughter or grandson?
I don't know. I would love to erase the years of horror and hell, but what is the cost.
