Thank you soooooo much for both replies, truth. i think this is what i need most of all, just to talk WITH other people. i have my son in therpy, truth. but, frankly with 5 kids depending on us, the money is stretched. lol so therapy for the family or just me is out of the question. SO here i am.
faith, i so appreciate(wow i REALLY love this spell checker! i can never do this on my own! you should see my posts before i use this thing!

embarrassing is the word! lol) you telling me what happened to your son. goodness! what an ordeal! geez-la-weez. bless both your hearts. thank goodness you have him back. TRUTH. and yes, it does give me hope.
myself, thank you also. truth. i said 'if' he has DID because 1 dr said it. but i'm not sure. there are so very many forms of it and it could be it, i guess. i'm just afraid. sometimes he rages out. but this is very recent. the SI has happened for quite awhile. but i'll go to the DID forum and check things out. i'm just worried about posting there.....what if i trigger somebody??
we have to go to Mich. this saturday..to visit my hubby's family. a big deal. all of us, in a van for 5 hours, then visiting with everybody for several days. i'm terrified.
prayers, hugs, support and positive vibes are all welcome.
thanks TONS. i'm glad i found this board.
