Comments: Thank you so much for the creaters and moderators of this site! To know that what was happening internally made sense and was a common reaction to abuse has given me so much hope and confidence! To know I am not the only one who struggles with this has given me the courage to stay away from my DNA family. I love visiting because it almost always makes me feel better and the moderators do such a good job of regulating content. And if the forums get too trigerry for me, the resources you guys have are so helpful. I have learned so much about my DID here as well! I really don't know what I do without the fort! Also, you guys have helped convince me to go to therapy, I'm scared, but I know I can do it! Thank you so much, your presence has been a huge blessing in my life!

Comments: I am glad I have found a place to go to talk to other survivors. My father molested me and my mother covered it up and didn't get me help. When I started going to therapy as an adult because I had all that rage bottled up in me, I told my mom why I was going and she disowned me and my kids and didn't talk to me for months. She came back and I told her they both have to get therapy and they expected me to pay for everything and my father wanted to know if fingers were going to be pointed at him. He feels no remorse and my mom supports him. Therefore, I have had to cut ties with my family. I can't have my children around them when they think they've done nothing wrong. I am healing now it's hard especially when my daughter talks about my parents. I did the right thing I'm just trying to get past the anger, resentment and flashbacks.

Comments: This site is very helpful, I am 18 years old, I live in Nova Scotia. I was adopted with my Biological sister, I was 4 she was 2. I was badly sexually and Physicaly abused by my birth family. I have DID with PTSD I was Diagnosed at the age of 16. I have gone though a lot of hard times since then but when I come to this site it takes some of the stress because I can talk and not feel misunderstood. I would like it if other people with DID who would like to email me to just talk I will be glad to talk. I know that there is not a lot of teens as the Main person because DID is mostly Diagnosed when your an adult but if there is any Teens out there I would be gald to give you advise or just talk to any of you. Thank you Fort Refuge This Site is Amazing.

Comments: Thank you for your detailed site for abuse survivors! I have been stalked, beaten, and nearly killed multiple times by my former abuser *****who sadly, remains completely unpunished!) And, I have also survived "ritual abuse" of some of the most sadistic circumstances. Although it has been extremely difficult, I KNOW that there is complete healing! Please let my story of severe abuse serve as an example for others to get OUT as soon as possible. You are never alone!!! http://www.militarycorruption.com/grable.htm
