HI to YOU TOO, SHADOW!!!
YOU seem very real to me. Sometimes my alters and I have some disputes about the way we run our life.
I call this running my life by a committee who can't agree!
I'm sorry you are being treated negatively. I think shadows make all of life more interesting - otherwise it would be all light and glare and that would give me a huge headache. Strong light does give me headaches sometimes - really bad ones and so I love the softening of shadows and how dim light is so soothing.
SO, you just hang in there until they see the value of what you add to the system of alters or whatever you call ums at your place. I started calling mine pixies - at least some of them.
Since I came to P C recently, I've been learning how much my alters help my life and how much my trying to supress them has been bad for us all. I'm learning to let mine go free more than ever before.
(((((((((((Shadow))))))))))) (((((((((((Daynnight)))))))))) HUGS TO ALL!!
