Wow JudeeB, I can relate to so much of what you're saying. Here though, nothing much gets said due to secrets that still have to be kept. But I so relate to things falling apart. When son started going through some stuff, it caused some major structure damage (brain and system wise) that made what worked before not work anymore. That's when I was told I had DID. T said though, it usually happens like that. Something happens that makes the system not work as well. She said if not son, it would have been something else.

Thanks for sharing your story.
