‘The heart of this story is about the survival of Celeste (the kidnap victim) and the trans-formative mental adaptations that she had to undergo in order to survive this horrific event. Her complicated personal journey from being a victim of Raymond’s (the kidnapper) brutality and madness, to Avenger, back to rediscovering forgiveness is heroic and psychologically complicated. Celeste understands that she will never be the same person again. Yet from her perspective justice demands that direct action be taken by her in order to protect others from this monster, as well as, to restore her own sense of personal empowerment. What price does she pay for her evolving empathy? What has she become?’ asks Mr. Bryan. Diagnosed and crippled by a ‘Dissociative Identity Disorder,’ Raymond has sexual dysfunction issues stemming from enduring extreme childhood physical abuse inflicted upon him by his mentally disturbed, sexually confused, sadistic biological father. Removed from his family as a adolescent he was placed into the Foster Care System where his bizarre out-of-control, severe anti-social behavior made it abundantly clear that he could get better psychiatric care at a 24/7 lock-down State Mental Hospital. |
