All my life my mother called me "stupid", or "what's wrong with you?" Of "do you have a split personality?"
Standard answer out of pure fear was "no"..dissociate.
I, being of sound mind and body, but be crazy enough to talk this way to her (after a few beers)....,"remember all the times you asked "me" if I had a split personality as a kid? Well...Yes.... I do have a split personality." To say multiple is so like more wasted breathe that I care for....like trying to explain rocket science to a 4th grader.
Bless her heart, she's a foreign national that has been backwater raised that she has no clue...
I said "I am". To my surprise, she asked if they made medicine for it? And I said, "no."
Then I said my father beat me up all my life as if to shift some blame, he was a total prick/****. Not one or the other, but both.
On some plane, she understood??? I was like oooookaaay?
I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me, I want people to know why and how come. The rest is up to them.
So, at least for now, a small victory until I'm told I'm being crazy. Feel good!
Was this wrong? I'm so worried now.
