We went to protect the unknown child.
The next child, my dad would start to hurt because he likes doing that.
So I went and I told the police exactly and precisely what dad had done to me with an eye to making them aware so they could put some form of restrictions on him around children.
I didn't realize we were going to go to court.
So fast forward eight years and 2019, I am ready for court.
He has made it to the courtroom and all of me walked into the room on the first day and stared him down.
It was so funny because we were scared to death of him.
We thought he was going to walk in looking like he did when we were kids.
Only he didn't.
He'd shrunk.
And we spoke to the prosecutors and the prosecutors are saying, well, you know, we want you to be free to talk in whichever identity comes up.
And, you know, it was that moment that I realized that the centerpiece of the trial was going to be my D.I.D.
So you could only get MPD or DID through extreme ongoing childhood trauma.
Most of it comes from childhood abuse.
So I walked in and sat myself down ready to testify.
And MPD is the centerpiece of our evidence.
So the first witness they had was Dr. George Blair West.
who set the scene stating that actually Jenny's MPD is proof of the abuse that she is actually alleging because you can't get it without trauma.
So the judge was faced with Jenny Haynes has MPD.
This is evidence against the man in the dock.
