We have let our family know we have DID, but have never told about parental or other types of family abuse because they are all much older and either had different experiences from us or have a lot of denial.
We talked in another section about how disclosing this info may be too traumatic or difficult for our siblings.
But we do need suggestions for how to cope with hearing frequently how great our parents were or how great our childhoods were. This can be triggering or upsetting to many of us. Younger or vulnerable alters can start to feel their own experiences weren’t real or don’t matter, or they don’t matter. That can add to our depression. Also we often get anxious that an alter will accidentally or on purpose say something negative about parents without the rest of us knowing.
Thank you for any feedback.
