I always knew I was DID. Not that I knew what the name of it was of course. My mother and sister also have DID, which of course makes it very interesting for family life. My sister's parts and my parts would be fighting each other to be able to play with another part. Very interesting. I didn't know what the name or label of it was until my sister was dx in 1989. So that was when I knew what was different. To me I thought everyone was this way. I didn't know that you weren't suppose to hear parts, see parts inside, etc. I just thought it was normal. Well in my family I guess it was.
