Thanks, but maybe i explained it wrong....she has always run from friends and or loved ones and has on occasions when moved to a different town/state changed her name, but not all the time...the name she uses now she has had for about 20 years.

She has told me of 5 names/identities/persons/alters

1) her birth name very similiar traits etc to her current name (though she believes this one is dead)
2) her current name of 20 years ... sweet, caring, loving.
3)her intelligent name ...
4) her *lying* name....also the cranky, moody, never wrong name.....i believe this to be her *protector* going by what i have read
5) her sexual name...all bout sex sex sex.

She doesnt deny lies...but says she cant remember them all, but believes she has said them because she has heard it from other people....also in most of her lies there are little parts of the truth....e,g. she said she was in a commune with her cousins and was repeatedly sexually physically and mentally abused by her parents aunties and uncles......the tiny bit of truth in this is that she was sexually physically and mentally abused by her father....also by someone else...a family member (not her mother)...she says she isnt ready to tell me who the other person is....her mother has confirmed all this..... i have not really known her to have *black outs* but i have seen her moods change.....

One other thing is that the name she uses now, her mother says, is very much the same person as her *real self*... Lets say her name she uses now is *Peg* and her birth name was *Mary* to her Mary is dead....to her mother peg and mary are virtually one of the same person.

Hope that says more. I look forward to replies.
