((((WePow))))

I am so glad that you got out and that you were able to let yourself be who you are. I know what you are saying about others not even knowing we are DID. Most of the time we can hide it. Maybe that is because we were so good at hiding it so we could be safe all these years. And those within are finally feeling safe enough or that there is acceptance of them and we are allowing them, to have opinions known to us as well.

Figuring this all out is like unraveling a ball of yard that is different colors. Never knowing what color is coming up but knowing that they all fit together within that ball and somehow the colors do not even clash. As we begin to get to know others within there are many differences and many ideas, but as we begin to build that bond and communicate, for us anyway, we are finding that what seemed like a clash is really more of a blend of what really is.

Scary and questioning one another with the whys and hows, somehow those within begin to combined together with us and the pieces begin to come together forming the exact colors belonging together really never clashing at all. Somehow the puzzle is going together and forming the total picture and it fits. I know that is not easy for me to say as the waters here are raging many times but I know that with time things will calm down and we will be able to see this.

Sometimes I can get these pictures in my head and can somehow see where we need to go but bringing this down to my heart is something else. Head knowledge and heart knowledge are two different things. But it is something to works towards getting the two to meet. I think it is wonderful that you and Mick were able to disagree without the anger, that is progress. And maybe it is because Mick is feeling heard and listened to and that allows you both to feel that difference.

Does that make any sense? Thank you for letting us know how you are doing. Please keep us posted and know that you are cared for and loved. And Mick and the others too. A small step in our eyes is as big as a giant step. You are doing a great job. Sending gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
