-- SURVIVAL -- part 2 - (best viewed at 480p+) *Trigger Warning*

We are sharing the history of the sexual abuses done to this physical body from members of the family of origin. We are also sharing art that depicts our struggles with Dissociative Identity Disorder and Chronic/Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

We are hopeful that this will reach people who have the resources to help with our passion to change laws regarding punishment of child sexual predators, and also to change laws to extend statutes of limitations for reporting childhood sexual abuses.

Children who experience years of sexual abuse which comes from within the family of origin, have no safe place to go. The people who SHOULD be safe (parents, siblings, other relatives), ARE THEIR ABUSERS. The children who are "fortunate" enough to survive by creating others to take the abuses, spend a faux-life of perpetual torture.

susa, i just needed to say something having viewed your work and read your story. i am deeply moved by the plight of any child and now having borne witness to some of your pain i want to reach out and express that , each child is born with an innate powerfulness that sadly can be stolen, i hope you and anyone else suffering as you are can regain that power and their right to be at peace,hope and joy.

Thank you so much. We are trying... Having DID can make life extremely chaotic, but we always have found the strength somehow to hang on.

At this chronological age, there is not a lot of hope that we will experience much life without problems, but I post our story so that others might learn, and get help early. I also share it to raise awareness about child predators, and the fact that it is still as pervasive as ever in our current society.

Thanks again,

Susa

This is powerful. You are a brilliant artist and poet. I don't think I have ever seen anything like this. You capture the unspeakable agony of what was done to you - this is haunting. May you find the peace in your life that you so deserve!!!!

Thank you so much, Jaime.

Yes, it was incredibly cathartic to do this art and these writings. It really helped to assign some kind of chronologic order to our life events.

Thanks again for your kind words,

Susa

This is amazing and very powerful. What a great way to honor and validate the gift your mind, your parts gave you to survive. I hope you were able to find some healing in it.

Thank you very much for your kind words. It's been a tough, faux-life filled with bits and pieces of memory out of sync.

This past Christmas was incredibly difficult to survive when this body hit the sixth decade mark, and I, Susa, feel six years old (albeit a very intuitive six).

Thanks again,

Susa

Again, I am full of praises for the person, who ever they are, that made this deep and honest portrayal of DID. There is so much fantasy and rubbish out there, but this is an authentic film about depths of human suffering and the heroic and amazing human instinct to survive and to heal. Just brilliant!. I hope more people with, or who have had DID are encouraged to use their creativity to educate like this film does.
