Mine do not call me mom. They don't really call me anything. We are more like friends. I am very blessed because my mind never really saw them as separate from me because that was not logical. (( Ok - I am strange - my first words were actually "Light Hot" - rather than the normal baby stuff ;-) )) So go figure. Anyway, I think the closer in communication one is with their internal parts, the easier it is to know the truth that one is whole but to accept the gift our mind gave us by allowing dissociative process to occur when we were in danger.
