Pheonix, I am so sorry you are going through this! I am a single mother diagnosed with DID along with many other mental illnesses. It's not impossible! When I left my abusive husband I thought I would be locked away for sure and would lose my daughter. I didn't though and she and I are doing better than ever. I did tell my t at one point that I didn't think I would be able to take care of my daughter on my own with all of the problems and the t at the time tried to have me hospitalized (I was having a mental breakdown) but she never went through with it because she could see that as hard of a time as I was having my daughter was in a good place. When they see you reaching out for help they are more willing to help and not take away from you. Bring this up with your t, you don't have to tell her you are unfit, just that you are having a difficult time dealing with the stress and I'm sure the t will help find other ways of dealing with the situation.

As a parent with DID, I'm not sure if there are much more challenges in raising a child, especially when you don't know if you will lose yourself in a moment and you don't know who will come out with your kids, but it is something that can be helped and something that can work out with time and patience!

Again I am so sorry you are suffering in such a terrible way. I wish you all the best and if you need anything at all pm me any time! Hugs if ok : )
