Thank you so much LivingMiracle.

I want to eventually at least come to an understanding with Lisa that I care about all of them. And that I'll be there. One thing Lisa told me repeatedly was the Mellisa was wrong, they can't depend on me.

For now I have to respect Melissa's desire to not have me discuss any interactions with Lisa with her. I know when Lisa came out, they were dealing with some very stressful situations, which I just found out about last night.

I am with this woman for the long haul. There is a lot to work out with her DID, eating disorders, severe childhood sexual abuse, and other stuff.

I'm also realizing I have my own issues. I just read a thread here about ACOA (Adult Children Of Alcoholics), which was shocking to me. I knew I had very self destructive tendencies, but I've been working on not and been fairly successful at it, on my own for many years. After reading the thread about ACOA, it suddenly hit me, that is me.

I will be there for her 100% in any way I can, but I am starting to realize I haven't dealt with all of my issues, even if they aren't as bad as hers. When I get insurance, I am planning on seeking some sort of therapy myself.

I also just want to learn as much as I can about the things that affect her life and the best way for me to be supportive.

Again, Thank You.
