Girl Abused So Badly Her Personality Broke Into Several Parts

A lot of people thought a remake of the Sally Field-Joanne Woodward version of Sybil (1976) was unnecessary because the original is so good, but Sybil (2007) with Jessica Lange and Tammy Blanchard managed to crank things up a notch because it could be more direct in telling the story. Sadly, both movies are based on the true story of a child whose strict parents abused her so badly her psyche split into at least 13 pieces so her mind could deal with the horror of what happened to her. Sadly again, there’s really no need to tell you what might have happened to her, but it’s worth watching Field and Blanchard unveil her memories to the kindly doctor. Watch this if you’re felling sorry for yourself.
