by the way you are a terrific person. so many people who find out their friends have DID find ways to drop that friend ship. it takes someone special to see that the person is still human and take the time to try to understand and help that person.

Thanks for the compliment, you are a terrific person too...I have enjoyed reading your answers and they have helped me so much!

We are all human, and each of us have different things that we struggle with. I don't make a distinction between illness, whether it be physical or mental. I don't think anyone is immune or perfect. I think when people turn away from someone with DID or any other illness, it's out of fear. It's sad really, because I have found so much joy from knowing my friend, he is so special. I can't imagine having missed the opportunity to know him. It has been a gift, and I am very grateful for it.
