Treatment

Eva Taylor is the mother of Ethan Taylor, who is the protagonists. Ethan isn’t Eva’s biological son as she was unfertilised, which meant she wasn’t able to have a baby. Eva’s childhood dream was to have a small happy family who took care of each other. The main reason of having this dream of her was because she grew up in poverty and the family she grew up in wasn’t a pleasant place for any kid to grow up in, her parents were both abusive and were both alcoholics. Growing up she didn’t want her children to go through the same thing she went through. When she turned 18 years old she found the love of her life, but he already has a year old son called Ethan. Eva was more than happy to look after Ethan as she had always wanted to have a child.

After having an almost fairy-tale like life style so far, a tragedy occurred in Eva and Ethan’s life as the person who kept them enthusiastic and cheerful during the worst time in their life got murdered right in front of their eyes and they weren’t able to do anything. The reason for the Ethan’s father murder case is still unknown till this point however, it is believed that Ethan’s father was in some kind of a gang but left after he meet with Ethan’s biological mother. Rumour has it that one of the enemy gang murdered him as a part of their revenge for what he had done to them in the past.

Due to this incident, both Eva and Ethan were mentally scared but Eva recovered faster than anyone expected because she believed that she still had to live for herself but most importantly for her son, Ethan. Despite the fact that she recovered quickly, she was unaware what was coming next for her. This would not only affect her life but also Ethan’s, as time went by Eva started getting black outs about when she used to do stressful work. However, little did she know that she didn’t faint but developed a mental illness called ‘Dissociative Identity Disorder’ also referred to as ‘DID’. Her new personality was much more aggressive and violent then her normal self. This meant whenever her personality came out in front of Ethan, he would be her punching bag when she felt as if she wanted to take her anger out. After some time had passed, Eva started noticing bruises in Ethan’s body and was shocked to find out that this was all her doing. Despite knowing this she still didn’t go to the doctors to seek help as she knew how the child service would take Ethan away from her. This was not an option as he was the only family she had and adored. The same reason applied to Ethan as he loved Eva as his mother and wanted nobody to come in between their relationship, so he kept quite even when Eva got so violent till the point she broke some of his bones.

After Ethan grew older, he moved house but started having nightmares about Evie (personality of Eva) and how she would come after him not matter where he goes beat him. Ethan looked for a psychiatrist who would be able to help him, that’s when he found Nathan, who he trusted the most; he was one of Ethan’s closest friend’s older brother but lost in contact with both his friend and his brother after they choose to go different routes to accomplish their dreams. Eventually, with the help of Nathan, Ethan was able to stop having nightmares and finally sleep peacefully.

However, Ethan’s condition started coming back again but this time it became worst as he starts hallucinating. This is when Nathan realises how serious this matter is and starts digging up to find how and why Ethan is facing with this problem. Nathan starts asking Ethan about his past ad realises that the main reason for his condition was because of his ‘DID’ mother. As they find out what the cause for his condition, Nathan starts giving Ethan treatment which helps Ethan with his condition. Even though, his condition doesn’t go away completely at least it isn’t as serious as it was before.
