i am only new here, and im here on behalf of my fiance.

I am in australia....ill try to make the story short..

Met my fiance...over 18 months she had told me all these *lies* The main lie being that she was abused in a *commune* run by the *Children Of God*...where she lived with all her aunties/uncles mother and father, and all her cousins....her aunties/uncles father and mother used to sexually as well as physically abuse all the cousins and herself from a very early age....the girls were taught that there job was to please men........

ALong with the above lies there were others..some small some not so small....but her lies were inconsistent and i finally caught on....there were some torrid arguments in our realtionship....we split (she ran).

She had told me she was diagnosed with MPD i think at about 20(she is 40 now).

WIth all the lies i thought the MPD was just another lie.

AFter 10 weeks apart..she came back and admitted to all the lies and wanted my forgiveness...she said she couldnt remember all the lies but knew i didnt make it up because she had heard them before.

I spoke to her mother..her mother said this has all happened before..she lies, gets caught and runs....BUT!! i am the first one she has ever came back too and admitted too.

I have since found out...yes she was sexually abused by her father (and physically and mentally) (but not in a commune and nothing to do with Children Of God)..she was definately diagnosed with MPD...She has had different names everytime she runs...her mother backed this all up, her mother is also *happy* as well as shocked that she came back to me...never doing this before.

1) what is my/our next step
2) does this sound a symptom of MPD/DID?
3)she wants to see another phychiatrist with me being with her at interviews etc....CAN ANYONE PLEASE RECOMMEND ONE IN BRISBANE AUSTRALIA??
4) Can anyone recommend some good reading material
5) what am i in for??? what is she in for??

I will stick by her as we love each other madly. We are now talking about all of it without arguments, talking things that she would normally clam up on or yell at me for.
Its hard because as she said to me...with all the lies, even the truth becomes lies to people.

Hope this is enough info....any advice will be appreciated..ir please ask me any question you like...

Thanks.
