In addition to the real loss of the separate relationships between alters, an alter often fears that he or she will die, and multiples will often fear big changes in their relationships with friends, relatives... (Putnam 1989)

Maybe you have a fear hanging up the process?

Thanks for the replies...... the words read here today made a light-bulb come on.

I think the reason WHY might have just hit me dead center (Bulls Eye) when you all stated that maybe the last Alter (and/ or I) may be resistant to this due to the changes that will have to come about in my LIFE with the final integration being complete and I think this change (the FEAR of) has to do with my twenty year marriage / family[/b].

My Alter is still doing what she has always done, protecting ME when I fall short in coping with LIFE.

WOW!! - talk about an Eye Opening Experience!!!

Hmm -
Now I am feeling both relieved and yet sad - - - two feelings with two different perceptions... of my LIFE.

NOW - to try and figure out which wants are hers and which wants are mine.... I am confused to saw the least.
