I have no memory of trauma, never have had, though I understand DID is caused by trauma.
It seems I have alters who keep having memories of severe and extreme abuse for which there is no evidence or corroboration. I never had injuries or illnesses that would have been the result. Nobody else in my immediate family have any knowledge of any trauma happening to us other than me being separated from my mother for a few months when I was 3 and confirming that both parents suffered with untreated depression. All my siblings are older and were present for much of my upbringing.
What causes alters to have these unreal memories and what can I do to stop it?
Thanks,
Piper and friends

Hi there.IDK what's going on for you,what's true,what's not etc.For me personally though,most of my alters held memories of abuse that I was unaware of until integration.
That seems to be what DID is for,the creation of alters to protect us from the abuse so we can still live a functional life.
