I'll admit I'm curious because I'm DID with a little who is jealous. T even said my inner child is regressed to about 3 and 3 yr. olds don't like to share, don't really know how to. My T works for a big hospital clinic and probably sees around 30 clients a week, every one of which I wish would disappear.
But my adult self has found that other patients are the only people I really can talk to. I'll even go so far as to admit that the psych clinic and hospital are my real family, the staff being the only people in the world who really know me, even if some of them have been stupid at times.
BTW I would like to ask if anyone besides me thinks of the hospital staff as being the only real family they had.
