Hi there. Before I begin to reply, please know that there is a tigger icon

that you can use (should use) when posting graphic details. Also, if you can put your post into paragraphs of thought, it will be easier to read and to reply to.

Now, welcome to all of you!
Glad you were able to release all that information. This is a pretty safe place, as I guess you realize.

Are you still in therapy? I would suggest if not, that you seek out someone who is trained in trauma work and perhaps DID expressly.

Do you journal? One of the key items to help with a system--one especially that has conflicting parts--is to provide one place for everyone to express their thoughts. Something where some can write and others can draw or doodle. Building communication is one of the first things in finding out what makes you upset or happy. Having it in one place for any one who is out to read is good.

Much of what you state is common for those having suffered abuse. I'm so sorry that you had these experiences. With regards to the mother...one way to look at that is that NOW she knows what she did to you (or allowed to be done) and how you are still suffering, and you don't have to feel slighted in that you didn't get to confront her (which rarely goes well anyway.) She knows it all ...and can't give any excuses.

I hope you'll continue to share here, and be able to let PC help you heal. (((safe hug)))
