In my system or part of myself there are different child parts.
Mandy is the only one every really spoken about so far because there's "nothing wrong with her" She was a child part kept away from all abuses and kept as a child at about age 5. Life as an adult and her peeking out unawares lead to her loosing her innocence to a degree in certain areas but she's still pretty much "ok"
Nobody ever mentions Mouse. Mouse is like a horror child. She can be in human form or in mouse form. She is the culmination of all the abuses we suffered from having our cat taken away from us to horrendous sexual abuse. She is the culmination of all that happened to us. She doesn't speak, she's barely human, she has no memories, she lives purely to be abused.
The fragments hold the memories, alot of seperated child parts that hold the memory of one abuse each. They are what caused mouse to be but they are not mouse. Mouse is what we would be if we were made of the abuses - if that makes sense.
I drew mouse, I wanted her acknowledged. And put her picture in the book we have of some drawings. I feel sad talking about mouse. But I need to talk about what makes me sad at the moment.
I'm also sad about Karen regressing. She regressed the other day. But this post should just be about mouse. She has no place in the world and probably shouldn't even exist in a person's psyche but she does exist and she needs aknowledgement. She needs love too.
The mother hated and was terrified of mice. That's why she's mouse it seems to me. Obviously "being a mouse" didn't save us from our sick parents but developed into the culmination of the toll all the abuses we endured would of added up to. Thank you Mouse for holding all these. We will strive to work out what to do to help you. Beth.
