Guilt by Dissociation: book one the end

By Jessica L Friesen

Marina does not remember her past. Her alter, who she was unaware of, has begun to make their
presence known. Once dormant, with no threats to the host, Marina was finally safe. However,
something has triggered her alter to feel danger and her life begins to unravel. She has blocks of missing
time and headaches, and someone from her past reappears.
Joanne is working backwards from her own death, trying to figure out the route of her tragic demise and
how her thread was tangled with Marina's.
This mystery book is based around Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). This disorder is usually not
discovered until early adulthood but stems from trauma during childhood. We typically have different
ways of acting in varying social situations, but these different behaviors come together to create a
whole. If you can imagine a mirror as one piece that is dropped and shattered, still reflecting but now
in many different pieces. This is what happens to people who have split personalities.
These other alters usually protect the main identity from mental and physical harm. Disassociation is a
very powerful defense mechanism. This character has seen a lot of trauma in her childhood which is
talked about throughout the book. Other mental illness touched on are narcissistic personality disorder,
borderline personality disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, alcoholism, and antisocial
personality disorder.
