I'm very sorry for your loss, but frankly, I'm happy for your awakening. You seem like a person who is dealing with it head on and that can only lead to increased happiness.

So the thing is when someone explains their DID that's their experience and not something someone else would experience in the same way. I like to think I'm open and accepting of all people and that may be why I want to understand more about alters that I want to be able to understand when someone talks to me about them. If they need a shoulder to cry on I will have some idea on how to console them.

Best reason I can think of. You sure you're not a Buddhist? j/k

Maybe someone else will read these posts and get a better understanding themselves. Too many people are judging others these days and a lot of it comes from not knowing that person as a person. We all need to do better with that, I think |
Agreed.

I'll make this easy by answering my own question. June 24th is Sonseearae's birthday and it will be a party for the ages. We have big plans. Lori and Micah share the same b-day - February 27th and there are two parties on that day....they are too far apart in age to share a party. As for me....not so much of a big deal these days. Turned 52 today and all I wanted for my b-day was a nap.
