amandalouise,

Just reading it, I wondered if perhaps it could explain DID. I wondered if it might have been that, but we with DID had in some way misinterpreted these other parts of ourselves as fragmented parts or alters. It also felt a bit like grasping at straws. Still looking for answers. So I hope I didn't upset anyone with my enquiry.

Sparrowstail,

Thank you for explaining that so well. I knew about Ego but not ID and Super-Ego. I'm just questioning things while my mind is clear - or seems to be.

I think that rose from the point of me having three main parts and like I said above, I was grasping at straws. I thought I had found an answer. Perhaps quite a real and logical thing that I had simply misinterpreted in my confusion of how this (DID) came about. I cope quite well but I am quite obsessive when it comes to looking for answers - reading everything and anything and becoming very confused.

Hunny,

Sorry if anything I said triggered. Some days I'm quite happy to accept how things are and others I'm driven to seek answers. Perhaps a younger part of me is looking for the answers.

Thanks for the link.

anderson,

Thank you. I do agree that it is sooooooo difficult to explain DID. And also quite difficult to do research when parts of you just want to go have fun and other parts think you're the crazy part for questioning what they seem to accept as quite normal. Don't think it's Korin posting today. Sorry.

amandalouise,

See, my main three seem like that (the parent, the adult and the child) that's why it caught my attention I think. But sorry, I think i was way off. I think it's a case of 'back to the drawing board'. Too much information gathering can be quite confusing.

I'm taking a copy of your posts, people, so that i can read them over a few times and get my head around the information you have all provided.

Thoughts being generated while I read your post... Where you say...

parenting type personalities take complete control and isnt usually a copy of our parents behaviors, its usually the alter has come up with their own plan for the survival and preservation of the host because the host is in some sort of distress and danger. When ever I was in a confrontation with anyone in authority I would switch into an adult parenting alter who would figure out what buttons to push in the offending adult and basically tell them where to go and what to do with what ever.
I believe this switching for me is automatic and comes about as needed and I'm only aware of it after the event (still don't think it's Korin posting). I seem to be faced with a problem one minute and then it's sorted as if by magic. Do I sound crazy????

I'll be reading these posts again as I feel a little out of it at the moment. Sorry.

Thank you for making things clearer.

Thank you for the link.

June_Bug,

I have read Eckhart Tolle and listened to audio versions of his books. I like The Power Of Intention.

Thanks. Maybe listening to some of his stuff just now might help me feel a little clearer.

Thanks for the article.

Sorry, folks. I became overwhelmed by your response to my post. All good clear information. I’ll need to read it a few times to get my head around it.

I think the original post was a little too ambitious.
Thanks for this!
