I would like to also point out that my wives/lovers could have proven that I was dissociative by talking with my therapists about the communication that went on. But because my alters act out verbally, they just thought I was an asshole. If they would have communicated with me appropriately they would have found out that I do not remember many of the things that I say. I cannot defend myself against this! This was the only way that I could prove that I was having amnesia about portions of my life! I got no help.
Proving episodes of amnesia/memory loss is critical in getting a dissociative diagnosis and getting treatment.
I now know that my Mom had regular contact/communication with my alters. I don't think she could tell the difference. My alters do not have different names and none of them look like the werewolf so I believe that is why my dysfunctional family members never saw anything wrong. Of course they did not think they were abusing me either.
I recently told my brother that I thought our parents learned their parenting skills from a pet rock! When I think back on my parents parenting skills now, I cannot believe it. What I went through as a child was total insanity. The only saving grace for me and the reason that my alters are not that different from me is that the physical abuse was never extremely violent. I know some of you were extremely violently abused.
