"Is It A Child's Fault, Too?"
Based on a true account of a woman sexually
abused as a child, a teen, and as a young adult. Alyssa, the main
character is deeply distraught as she discovers that her family refuses
to believe her when she finally tells them the secret of the childhood sexual abuse, a secret she has kept from them until she is well into
adulthood. She knew something was wrong with her but she didn't know it
had a name and could cause her the seeming insurmountable obstacles that
it caused her. She tried to deal with the sense that something was wrong
on her own, but the illness was too complex for her to deal with alone
and she realizes this when she has an emotional breakdown and
experiences her first hospitalization in a psychiatric facility. During
that stay in the hospital, she engages in intensive therapy, is put on
medications, and is educated concerning the effects of childhood sexual
abuse which had led to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, severe
Depression, suicidal ideations and attempts, bouts with Dissociative
Identity Disorder (formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder), and
other diagnoses which were yet to come.
Alyssas
main struggle is with her family's rejection and lack of support for her
as she is determined to sufficiently recover from her psychiatric
maladies, but badly needing, and yearning for, their support.
This
short story will reveal the serious pathology of Alyssa and her
self-destructive coping mechanisms. It will portray a very dysfunctional
family that--over time--begins to rethink their strongly held beliefs
concerning mental illness.
In addition, Part Four allows readers to peek into Alyssas mind during different stages of her recovery by her writings.Rendez visite à nos commanditaires.
