Carolyn has a superb and honest style and her book title is very appropriate. Anyone with a love for people will want to understand what she has suffered; a condition known as M.P.D. stands for Multiple Personality Disorder, more recently termed D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder). Only now are we coming to understand this condition.
Someone who has been traumatised develops personalities within themselves as a defence against the emotional pain. It is a God-given defence mechanism. Carolyn, in her early childhood, had suffered Satanic sexual abuse which had been repressed in her fragmented mind so that, despite true conversion, Bible College training, Christian service, a happy marriage and fulfilment in motherhood, she could not escape from the increasing torment. She was very spiritual and anxious to please God, but was haunted by the lie that she would never be good enough.
