My roomate whom I love dearly has DID and has many parts. Many of which are children and they are most likely to come visit. I've never had experience with this particular diagnosis and I'm one of the only people she (and they) trust. I'm generally just wondering how best to handle her parts when they come out. I've done fairly well so far at keeping them calm as well as coaxing them to let the adult her come back. Anyone have any words of wisdom? I don't want to treat her like a child and being a mother I've found it relatively successful to give her "kids", as she calls them, small tasks and responsibilities which seems to keep them from getting agitated. I'm really feeling very lost and since she/they trust me I don't want to let them down. Thanks in advance for the support y'all!
