Toes,

I don't have much advice, but I do have an observation. Your alters probably don't feel comfortable surfacing around your mom because of your own nervousness. If you can't bring them around with her there, maybe you can have your T tape record introductions to show to your mom? Your T can play them for her and you guys can discuss the outcome together.

I myself feel like coming out of the MI closet so to speak. Lol. I haven't told my mom yet, but she will probably be the next person I open up to. I'm not even sure if she'll believe me, but I'm sick of living in secrecy. I'm sure she can hear me "talking in my sleep" every night and wonder why I do so.

Anyway, hugs to you and your brave journey! Our parents are often times the hardest ones to open up to, and most likely a reason we dissociated in the first place.

Love and blessings,

Jen
