I think that would have changed everything. And I'm sure it would have for you too.

I wasn't trying to negate your truth or your experiences in any way @
Lilly2 .I was just making a generalization I guess.Since DID is caused by severe,prolonged abuse I think if there would have been someone to turn to the first time it happened and it's stopped then DID wouldn't develop. There's usually not abuse of a child that doesn't involve some sort of forced silence and essentially that is what causes it because the abuse continues.
My point just being that without that repeated abuse DID wouldn't develop in the first place.
