Hi weareone! Welcome and your in the right place. I'm 47 years old too! I spent most of it in denial thinking that it would just go away. Looking back on my life, I can see where a different alter hosted that part of life. I barely have memories, just random dreamy snapshots of moments. It isn't until that particular alter steps up before its memories come back. I'm co conscience, aware of other alters. I've listed 25 named alters and plenty other no name ones. We collaborate and talk and discuss what we need to do for the system. A lot of times though it's a hung jury. We all are united for the benefit of the body....at least most of us are...anyways. No names -_- The system has a comfort buffer that we agree to not cross regarding public image. Even private life we keep private.

I hope to hear more of your story and hope that you find what you're looking for.
