Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)-commonly referred to as Multiple Personality Disorder-is typically a result of traumatization and helps a victim to avoid horrific memories. The condition is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personalities, each with a unique name, history, and other characteristics. (Source: Mayo Clinic)
Meet Pat...and Suzie, Trish, Tracy, Heather, Cath, and Anne. "I AM WE" delves into each of their backstories as they progress on their path to healing from Satanic Ritual Abuse. Admittedly, each personality has chosen what to share on the pages of this book. In an attempt to be transparent and honest, even the youngest of the seven speaks up and often surprises Pat's storytelling venture with both happy and tragic memories of old.
You are encouraged to keep an open mind about what you read here. Furthermore, you as asked to set aside what you think you know about DID based on the media's negative portrayal of the condition. No two stories are alike among survivors of tragedy. "I AM WE" is Pat's unique story, and it took a great level of wherewithal to tell it while collaborating with her other six personalities.
It is the author's hope that through the sharing of her story, you will come to embrace those with DID...not run away from or shun them.
