The second thing we watched was a movie called Inside Out. My daughter and son-in-law wanted my granddaughter to watch it because she has been having issues with her emotional regulation (she is three). The movie presented emotions as characters who had alternating control of the person.
The third was the movie Split. (I will not discuss what I thought of the movie here.)
So I was able to refer to these in our conversation and they helped my daughter understand things better!
All in all, I am glad I have disclosed to the people I have chosen to. Scout assessed that the risks of not doing so were at least as bad as doing so. It has helped so far. But I will not be disclosing to people willy-nilly.

I have a sibling that enjoys star trek voyager.. are you talking about Tuvix (the characters Nelix and Tuvok were on this planet collecting orchids. when they were beamed back to the voyager space ship their bodies and the orchids got demolecularized in the machine then combined together to form one whole person who picked the name Tuvix, then later in the episode the doctor found a way to separate one of their molecules that make up one of the characters, turning them back into Tuvok and Nelix?
if so I am so, so glad that your relative took it so well, if it was mine and I said its like what you see on this tv show, they would have thought I was in the midst of a bipolar psychosis episode. (why because they would see it
as my equating .....me.... to something that is not real is in my culture and family called delusions)
again so, so glad it worked out for you.
