I "fit" the profiles of many personality disorders....repeated sexual abuse, starting in my early childhood, and continuing in my teen and adult years, has turned me into a woman who cannot cope with the smallest of "trumas" nor can I maintain a relationship of any kind....healthy or not. I've never gotten any justice, acknowledgement or compassion. Rather, I was "scapegoated" for many of the incidents. I know this has happened to other people....women and men. We carry the burden of the entire thing....eventhough we did not ask for any of it, in any way. "Blame the Victim" is a term that I know all too well. Neither counseling nor medication provide relief to me now. All of my family and friends have abandoned me. the only "remedy" I can conceive of is becoming someone else, erasing any memory of the past, and writing a new "script"...a new IDENTITY....for myself, and starting over. This will not be easy, but it seems to be the only answer for me. Best wishes to others who suffer.
