This document is a powerful narrative by Jeni Haynes, detailing her experiences with multiple personality disorder (MPD) as a result of severe abuse. Co-authored with psychiatrist Dr. George Blair-West, the book explores the complexities of trauma and the journey towards justice and healing. It serves as both a personal account and a guide for understanding the psychological impacts of abuse.
From Jennifer Margaret Linda, the Original Child
This book is dedicated to my dear Symphony, without whom I would not be
alive. You saved me from a monster at great risk to your body, mind and
soul. You deserved so much better. You were my mother, my saviour and my
friend through the worst. I thank you with all my heart and soul.
From Jeni
This book is dedicated to everyone in this world who has Multiple
Personality Disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder. My story is in
many ways your story. For far too long the monsters who commit such
terrible crimes as we have endured and survived have been able to get
away with them. They’ve been safe, knowing that if we disclose their abuse
and/or our coping strategy of MPD/DID they can simply claim that we are
liars, insane, crazy or deluded. This ends now. For at last MPD/DID has
been recognised as a legitimate coping strategy for dealing with extreme
abuse and sexual torture. At last our very diagnosis is evidence against the
monster and is proof we are telling the truth.
Now justice is possible.
From Symphony
This book is dedicated to my three hero cops: Rod Messer, Rachel Lawson
and Paul Stamoulis.
And also to my alters: To each of you who walked out of the back of my
head to help me, all 2681 of you, thank you. I would thank you all
individually, but that would be a book of its own. So I will say this:
Thank you for your love, thank you for when you listened to me and
did as I asked, thank you for stepping up, and standing down. I will
love you forever.
From Amber
I dedicate my book to Erik, Rosemary, Cherry-Lynn, Gemma, Bobby,
Carrie-Anne and Jessie. While I never got to hold you in my arms, you are
forever in my heart.
