I am sorry for the things you have been through.
With me, the thing is I am NOT in "bad shape". I am extremely functional and successful in my chosen career (well, truth be told, in the career we currently have which was chosen by two alters and
not myself. However I was successful at the career
I chose before they came along!)
But that's beside the point. I don't credit my success to "myself" any more than I credit the fact that I survived to myself. I maintain: I survived because my abusers didn't choose to kill me.
There but for the grace of God go I.
