I am amazed at how kind you turned out to be. If I was abused like you I would hate the world. What do you think contributed to your lack of hatred towards people in general? In my experience as a social worker I\u2019ve run into many clients who have been wronged, abused, suffering great internal pain and most have issues with anger. In the field of psychiatry many cop an attitude blaming the world even God for their misfortunes. I don\u2019t hear that in your story. What a inspiration you are for sharing. What an inspiration Dr. Baer is for his lifetime effort of treating you. Bless the both of you for making a difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Pamela J.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Boise, Idaho<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear Pamela,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for being so kind and sharing your thoughts. I believe I can change the world one act of kindness at a time. I am who I am. I believe being kind helped diffuse my abusers. Besides, I was never an angry woman, never an angry child or an angry teen. It&#8217;s just not in my nature to be vindictive.\u00a0I assume my anger turned inward as each alter\u00a0developed, and by my not wishing to treat others as I was once treated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Would my expressing anger have made a difference? I don&#8217;t believe so. I believe I may have\u00a0been killed. I always felt my anger intensified any problems and caused more stress.\u00a0For me, it\u00a0was important to stay calm while internally experiencing chaos, pain, and abuse. For my own protection my alters knew the importance of my\u00a0need to be kept\u00a0in a survivor mode.\u00a0I was\u00a0able to let go of angry thoughts by having faith. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I\u2019m glad I never experienced hatred towards people.\u00a0In my opinion, what goes around, comes around. Those who hurt will\u00a0eventually be dealt with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for your questions,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Pamela J.\u00a0on 19 Nov 2009 at 3:23 am Hi Karen, I absolutely felt the love grow during your therapy years.
