Welcome to Litsy!

A powerful memoir of ongoing recovery from catastrophic abuse. Pat's book details her life with trauma-induced Dissociative Identity Disorder, and the incredible love which is helping her to heal from her past.As a child, Pat was subject to horrendous abuse by those who should have protected her. As a powerful defence against this, her mind split into differing personalities, which served to shield her from her worst memories. As her life has progressed, Pat has worked with great courage to heal from past traumas, and develop communication between her personalities. Along the way, her own fortitude and the love of some wonderful women have been integral to her healing process.This is not the story of how a child was abused - it is the story of how an adult can come to terms with a past literally too dreadful to contemplate, and how love and compassion can work recovery miracles.
