I didn't really talk to any of my family on Christmas. I'm attempting to distance myself a bit because they are highly dysfunctional and if I get to close, I end up getting sucked in to all the drama and dysfunction.

I miss them, especially my Mom. So, I decided to text message her on Christmas Eve to wish her and the family a Merry Christmas. It was a nice text, and I sent her a picture of my dog in her Christmas gear. The next day, Christmas Day, she called me while I was out. She left me a message stating that she was calling to wish me a Merry Christmas and to let me know that she got my text message the night before. She said she would call back later that day to see if she could get hold of me. She never called back.

I sent her another text message Tuesday night to tell her about our snowstorm. Well...she just called me back tonight and we talked for a few minutes. But....she is now stating that she never got a text from me on Christmas Eve and that she was frustrated that I didn't call or let her know if I had received my Grandmother's Christmas card.

But I did!! I even have her on my voicemail still, calling me on Christmas to let me know that she DID get the text message?

I just don't know? I asked her a few times if she was absolutely sure she didn't get my message and she swears she didn't. But if she didn't, why would she have called me and said that she did.

So now I am thinking that she is trying to mess with my head? Since I told her about my diagnosis of DID, she has a few times, attempted to convince me that I have done/said things that I am pretty sure I didn't do/say. And now this!!

I am going to call her in the morning and ask her again...cause I really want to give her the benefit of the doubt...but then, I worry that I'm going to catch her in a lie.

Has anyone else had family members attempt to mess with your heads since finding out about your disorders?

I really hope she just spaced it out. But I'm scared that she didn't.
