“Dissociation is the common response of children to repetitive, overwhelming trauma and holds the untenable knowledge out of awareness. The losses and the emotions engendered by the assaults on soul and body cannot, however be held indefinitely.

As the child gets older, he will turn the rage in upon himself or act it out on others, else it all will turn into madness.”
