To call it a disorder is not useful to recovery. Your mind effectively helped you cope, so love this and thank it for this help. I have worked with victims of child abuse for many years and most people as adults do not recognise how strong they were as children, being able to love your self and recognise your abilities is the beginning of your recovery . You did an amazing job coping with the abnormal maladjusted behaviour of your carers.
