Rhapsody,

I sympathize with you and the alters that need to be heard. I think there is a deep human need for connection and validation through being heard and/ or accepted.

I have wanted certain people in my life to "hear" me and thus validate the fact that I really did suffer, that some bad things really did happen to me and I'm not just a whiney person who wants everyone to feel sorry for her.

I can't say for sure, but maybe some alts just need to be acknowledged and heard and then they can let go of some old hurts. However, it may be possible that they need that validation and then at a somewhat later time these alts may need to be heard again to go deeper into healing something or that being heard was not all they needed for the long-run.

I hope you find the help, hope and kindness you need. There are a number of encouraging and supportive people here who do help each other.

Hugs,
