Web Psych Club MemberWelcome! I am very pleased that you decided to visitmy site.  This area is an expression of my ongoing commitment to seeksocial justice by facilitating efforts by individuals to improve the qualityof their lives, and by providing information to the public about the issuesconfronting various groups which have been marginalized by our society.  Providing this site is part of my recovery from abuse, as I want to start giving back by passingalong information which has helped me.  I also want to provide information and support for those who have Multiple Personality Disorder (or gift :) ), now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder or DID.  MPD/DID is highly misunderstood and oftenfeared by those who do not have it, so I hope to further understandingby acquainting people with some of the realities rather than the mythsdepicted by the media.

Ifyou are a Survivor, please know that what happened was not your fault. Our perpetrators would have us believe that it was, and that there is somethingwrong with us.  That is a lie; when children are abused they are NEVERat fault.  Children have needs for love and affection, and since theyare already powerless and intimidated by adults, they are easily exploited. Force is seldom necessary because of the power adults hold, and the gentlestapproach is often the most damaging.  Often we feel terrible selfblame, but as you will see later in the materials, that was simply theonly mechanism we as children had to make sense of the unthinkable betrayalof trust which we experienced.  Let there be no more lies; it is timeto live in the light!

Perhaps you are also a Multiple.  I hope to be able to show you that thereis no need to be frightened.  Inner families can learn to worktogether.  Research has shown that multiples are blessed with enormous creativity. Indeed, multiples had to be very creative in the first place to develop such uniquesolutions to escape the horrors of childhood.  You can learnto know, and love, and respect your inner parts.  Some choose to integrate,some choose to blend, some choose to learn to work together.  I thinkeach of us will find the best solution for our selves.  The thoughtI hope you will hold close is that you can lead an extraordinarily productive,creative, and fulfilling life, and that you can do it with abilities whichare totally unavailable to singletons. 

I have attempted to minimize using any material which is obviously triggering. Even so, simply discussing symptoms may cause some Survivors to feel uneasy. Please use caution, especially when following links on webrings.

AlthoughI have a lot of graduate education in psychology and more recently takencourses on trauma, depression, cognitive therapy, symptom containment,and several related subjects, I am not a therapist.  I am publishing information that I have gleaned in the hope that it will be useful to you. As with any material, take what is useful and leave the rest.

Ihope that you will be patient while I develop this site.  I have compileda lot of material, and it will take a while to convert it into suitableforms.  Work on this site will be a continuing labor of love, so Ihope you will stop by occasionally to see what is new.

WhyAngel World?  Well, I believe in angels; I have seen quite a few. Most don't have wings; they look just like ordinary folks.  They comeinto my life and bring some special gift that I need, even if I don't knowthat I need it.  :)  Sometimes they stay, sometimes they moveon to help another.  One of my favorite artists, Jewel Kilcher, singsabout everyday angels, and I like to believe that maybe I am also one.

 
"...no person is your friend(or kin) who demands your silence, or denies
your right to grow and be perceivedas fully blossomed as you were
intended. Or who belittles inany fashion the gifts you labor so to bring
into the world." - Alice Walker

 Jan's Candle
 This candlewill burn forever in memory of our beloved cousin Jan, who left us July 29, 1997.  She was also a Survivor.  She helped guide us throughthe darkest parts of our journey, always believing in us, even at thosetimes when we didn't believe in ourselves.
