Dissorder? (2.)

@Lisathriver21 Tried to comment; just wish I could add that DID can be a blessing. When the system works together – it’s a beautiful thing

I got this tweet today and it made me think about the disorder thing again. I wrote yesterday that survival strategies do not work after a while any more but am I right about that?

Thinking about it it came to mind that I should not generalise this. For many it might still work as Jeff wrote. It is a beautiful thing if survival strategies help you all along the way.

There was a tweet from …..

……. BraveKidsVoices which said:” Children who are told not to speak up will grow up to be adults who are afraid to speak up.” and I started to wonder if I have been told not to speak up and how it affects me nowadays. 


I can remember that my father often told me “What happens in the house stays in the house!” meaning I should not tell anything that happened at home to someone else. When I got older and had suppressed the memory of what happened I often wondered why he said that. To me it seemed like nothing especial happened in our home.


But now I know why he said that because if I would have said to anyone what he was doing he would have ended up in prison. I wish I would have known as a child!


Well I have problems to speak up! I have problems to stand up for myself. I must have told someone and they have not listened. How cruel is that? And how much does it affect my life still. 


I am sad!
