Yeah.

When we wrote our victim impact statement, we had to try to explain the concept of how daddy is inconstant.

So...

what he wants today is not what he's going to want tomorrow.

So he would hit me until I cried because I wasn't crying.

And then he would hit me because I was crying.

And then he would hit me because I was crying unnecessarily.

And he'd give me something to pooter about.

So he was super inconsistent.

But we had to try to describe that in a victim impact statement.

And we ended up with meatloafs when the rubber meets the road.

Yes means no means yes means no when the rubber meets the road.

Right.

Did not think we'd ever quote a song about a condom.

That's right.

We're the first successful case where the prosecution has been able to use multiple personalities, dissociated identities to prove abuse.

So it had never been tried before.

The only time MPD had come up in court.

the legal area previously had been cases where people had attempted to claim they had MPD to reduce their culpability.

Right.
