No, my direct family members were not involved as such. There is part of me that thinks they already know, have been denying it to themselves that this could have anything to do with what they see as wrong with me now as an adult.
My mother has a severe case of Ostrich Syndrome!
Thank you for sharing and caring wanttoheal,
hope this finds you well,

I'm relieved to hear that the ones you are thinking of opening up to are not the abusers from your past. I'm sorry your mother is not able to deal with things. That must make it so hard. Perhaps she is in denial because if she accepted what is and what happened, she would have to deal with other things she is not able to.
I often wonder if family members know something is off here. According to daughter, they call me by different names sometimes, but I don't think they know what DID (or any other mental illness) is. They just think I'm different (weird to them).
I do think we have to work through memories and thoughts so that we can file them away and move on through our life.
