I can relate to what both Fox and Wanttoheal have said.
For me, before we found out that we were dealing with DID, I was not aware of the alters. My mind knew that the childhood was not happy, but there was this emotional block....a giant wall that kept US from really KNOWING or experiencing the emotional pain. We didn't know about ourselves either...until one day our giant wall started to crack...and then it shattered. Once the wall shattered, the DID became apparent and the emotions were not held at bay anymore. There is still an alter within that knows nothing of the abuse....that only knows of the good times and she is the one we all exist for.
So I think it is possible for someone with DID to actually believe that they did have a happy childhood. It could be the perception of an alter, or it could be him just putting up a front of denial to protect himself from having to validate his pain. This is only my opinion.
