For many of them, the creation of new personalities was due to needing to cope with sexual abuse - it was a form of disssociation from what was happening. So what you say makes total sense to me, although, as you say, it must be quite a shock to realise that you kept doing it even in the non-abusive situation. <br><br>I hadn't really paid attention to the foley stuff, it is shocking.Thaliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16061777358799377724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400857785037966628.post-56729218877883062902006-10-10T15:57:00.000-07:002006-10-10T15:57:00.000-07:00donna-very good post. as a survivor of sexual abu...donna-<br>very good post. as a survivor of sexual abuse, i understand all too well what you mean. one thing that i have taken personally and been really offended by has been some members of the media actually BLAMING the pages. blame the victim. dammit.Birdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10288027507380169331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400857785037966628.post-65367344491556265292006-10-10T12:42:00.000-07:002006-10-10T12:42:00.000-07:00Hi Donna,Foley should go to jail for a long long t...Hi Donna,<br><br>Foley should go to jail for a long long time. As should anyone who helped him or who knew about what he was doing and didn't tell someone. This makes me very angry too. He has no excuse as far as I'm concerned.<br><br>Your post is very thought provoking. I think I make the mistake of focusing on the short-term re the victim because I am so angry whenever I hear about this type of abuse. You made me remember that this type of abuse can change a whole life.<br><br>KimberlyI Gallop Onhttp://www.igallopon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400857785037966628.post-43863597168647452572006-10-09T16:41:00.000-07:002006-10-09T16:41:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting this.
