Hi Kendyll,
Good to hear how things are going. I tend to forget how my DID affects others sometimes. It's interesting to me to see the other side of the fence so to speak.

I don't have any communication with other parts of me at this time, so it's hard for me to give advice on this. Is your boyfriend seeing a therapist? I don't know what I would do without mine.

I know for me, when I have seen or heard about some things I have done unaware, it's sometimes upsetting, especially when they've done something so out of character for me. So, I can understand Jon's hesitation on things. On the other hand, integrating gives more control in the long run I think.

There are times when I am so confused that I don't know what end is up. T has said that happens when I switch a lot in a short period of time. Because I don't have communication, it's just really confusing like I'm skipping through a movie and push play every other few minutes and trying to figure out what's going on around me. Those times can be hard and I really feel out of balance.

I think you're doing really well. Just accepting your boyfriend as he is, is huge in my book. In my opinion, the very fact that you are concerned about him and accepting of him, you'll be okay. Even if mistakes are made, he will know and feel that from you. Communication is key, I think.

Please keep us posted and thanks for coming back to update.
