Creating 'alter Egos' As A Child To Take The Abuse Away From You

[Ewife]

Hi I have always done this and like others here been to ashamed to tell anyone about it. In my fantasies I am sometimes an adult still enduring the effects of my childhood abuse ( always worse than actually happened) and sometimes still a child.
I always thought it was just because I had a vivid imagination. I think a lot of us have a tendency to minimise our own trauma when we would never think that of anothers and this is a way for us play out a situation where we feel what happened was severe enough for someone else to pay attention.

Thanks. It's reassuring at least that I'm not the only one :)
