Thank you, myself. I like your explanations of dissociation--they do make sense. I brought this up Monday night with my T and she said my Dad could or could not be DID, it is hard to tell. I think that the issue of whether he is or isn't DID became less important to me after realizing that I'm ready to acknowledge reality, let go of the father that I want to have (a fantasy father who would never have hurt me), and begin to mourn my childhood and the loss of my father.

My own switching has decreased or been less pronounced since seeing that reality will never match up to what I want. This is good.
