I'm replying to more than one person since I can only post 5 times as a new member.

Thanks for the welcome to kd, all the girls, silver queen, and myself.

I'm thinking that my post made me sound a little further along than I really am. True, I am not in denial that I have DID. But, I recognize that I'm in HUGE denial over the fact that something bad must have caused this. The only memories that I have so far are all rather small--not inconsequential, but not big enough even put together to cause a person to split. So, I know that I refuse to know. And I'm not sure how to get past that. I don't think I want to right now, even though others inside are ready to release some of this.

The alters that are co-operative/co-conscious are all adult alters (who don't have any painful memories) with the exception of my 6th-grader who had a really good year (so not much to remember from her so far).

KD, I am amazed to read that you are wrapping up therapy soon. I guess I didn't really believe that very many people with DID got out of therapy. I hope that doesn't offend anyone--no offense meant in any way. Just that I had read that therapy was long-term. And if I'm being honest, I can't imagine ever being "done" with therapy now that I've gotten started.

Myself, thanks for sharing about your blog. I will go check that out. Also, a question for you. I read the sticky post about reading materials that you created (thank you!) and am wondering if there are any newer things that you would add to the list. I have quite a few ordered from the library and three on the way from Amazon.
