If you do not know your own identity, who is going to identify you?

Only a law-order which holds to the primacy of God's law can bring forth true freedom, freedom for justice, truth, and godly life.

She approaches the tasks of early adulthood-establishing independence and intimacy-burdened by major impairments in self-care, in cognition and memory, in identity, and in the capacity to form stable relationships. She is still a prisoner of her childhood; attempting to create a new life, she reencounters the trauma.
