So while I was at the grocery store with my aunt and uncle (just to get out of the house), a little came out. My aunt and uncle don't know I'm DID, so they probably just thought I was being funny or was just slap-happy tired. The little found a toy and carried it around with her, and talked with a lisp. The odd part is is that I was semi co-conscious; I remember this because the little/I looked in length at the liquor section, because I'm not allowed to look at liquor in the store with my mother. It wasn't that I was craving it or anything, it just makes me think. It's almost positive, because it makes me see how far I've come. (In case I'm not making sense, I was a bit of an alcoholic for a couple years). I'm not exactly sure what my aunt and uncle thought, but I'm sure they were a bit mystified--or more so my aunt, I don't know that my uncle noticed. I haven't switched to an alter that was that noticably different in front of them, or really any adults, specifically my family. I'm pretty sure she'll ask about it; what do I tell her???

(I'm a bit hesitant about telling her I'm DID, because she might tell my parents, and because she may think I'm a hypochondriac. As Odd Thomas so deftly stated, there's only so much a person can accept.)

Oh and I'm not sure that I know this little. She may be new; she may also be Haylie, who's been out once before. I don't know how old the little is, but she could read...then again, I don't know how old Haylie is. As strange and unsettling as it was to switch in such a public and obvious setting, it was kind of relieving as well. I almost felt (crazy as it sounds) that it proved that I was DID, at least to myself. I constantly doubt myself; when people constantly call you a hypochondriac, you start to doubt yourself. But this was so...sudden, strange, un...usual? Something about it told me that this was real...could that be because I was partially co-conscious? What a fantastic feeling! Also, since I've only had one little come out prior to this, I'm kinda glad that one felt safe enough to come out. I definitely feel safe with my aunt, and I feel that a lot could be accomplished through "reparenting"; that is, tonight my aunt gave my little the love, patience, acceptance, and gentle guidance that were denied during our childhood. This is PRICELESS!
