Did you believe in demons taking over your soul? Do you believe in ghosts? Could all the above be a reason to dissociate and become a multiple personality person? Could you be evil and not know it? In the bible there is no mention of people like you so what do you think about that? I read possessed people are multiples. Why do you think God loves you when he allowed evil to enter you? Did anyone label you as an evil child at catholic school, the nuns or priests? Were you afraid your memory of rape came from the devil? I\u2019m an atheist but since you have faith in your God of hurt I\u2019m curious to why? How could you be a nice person after what you went through? It makes no sense to me. I am trying to understand you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Chica<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Idaho<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear Chica,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>No, I never feared that I was evil, although I was told I was by my father.\u00a0 And I don&#8217;t believe demons had taken over my soul. There\u00a0are no demons that cause multiplicity. It&#8217;s a mental coping mechanism to repeated abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>God loves me. This I know for sure. I&#8217;ve been grateful to receive the gift of a highly sophisticated coping mechanism, multiplicity.\u00a0God is unable to change the evil motives in those who abuse. Somehow I always knew that I was guided and cared for by\u00a0many guardian angels. I never feared being alone in the dark. I felt comforted whenever I was alone. I may have once doubted my faith, but I&#8217;ve been blessed time and again. It&#8217;s hard not to believe after all that I have overcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>In Catholic school the nuns often misunderstood me. Once a nun asked me to write something on the board. I switched and kept writing without further permission. She deemed me evil and poured a bottle of Holy water over me.\u00a0At that time I really felt evil. After all, a nun\u00a0told me\u00a0so. I cried that day and prayed. I felt a sense of calm come over me and knew I wasn&#8217;t evil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for your questions. I am not evil; I am a survivor of abuse. Would it make a difference if I carried hatred and anger within me? I believe in being kind. I&#8217;ve been saved. I am grateful to be alive, and God willing, I will continue to help others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Chica\u00a0on 12 Jan 2010 at 11:53 pm Dear Karen, During your episodes of switching did you ever fear that you were evil?
