Hi all it's been quite a while since my last post. I have been maintaining for the most part but could use some help with something.

I've been having more face time with family members who know about my D.I.D. My cousin in particular is curious about my parts and wants to meet them. I told her it doesn't work that way and they will only surface when i'm in trouble or when they feel safe enough. What she can't understand is how my parts don't know her. My cousin and I were close growing up so I guess in her mind they all should know her and want to talk. I've been asking inside if anyone remembers her and some say they do but don't have many claimed memories. Has anyone else experienced this? Do your parts remember things about your family from stages of your life. Do they recognize them as an older person? I don't want to push the issue with my parts but it would be great to find out who hold the memories of me and my cousin growing up.

Thanks for your help.
