Thanks. She did bring up the alters herself and shared voluntarily about a few of them. I got the impression she did not know when one or another of them would appear. She said it was "exhausting." I would think so! She also seemed completely despondent over losing the ability to spend time with her son (who she lost custody of) because of not having control over the alters. She sounded so upset about this I'm afraid she may harm herself. I wonder if I contact her via telephone to see if she's OK, if I will meet an alter who doesn't even know me. And I'm not sure how to act if that happens. Ask who this is? Ask if one of the alters who knows me is there, too? She was so despondent when we last met. She said she had lost contact with her family and friends and had recently gotten out of the hospital. I'm very worried about her.
