It has become my experience that these forums are not unlike the rigid hierarchical structure of a DID victim. Inorder to survive and not upset the familiar defensive structure we have those among us who are allowed to enact the roles one finds in a DID personality. There is a resistance to coconsciousness among us so that the fragile one is recognized when portraying the role; the strong one is allowed to be heroic; the advisor is allowed and sought after for giving advice; the regressed orphan is adopted to be mothered by the system, and on and on. Any deviation is threatening to the comfort of the system so the child cannot be recognized for an ability to advise- the fragile cannot be allowed to enact bravery- the advisor cannot fail in the soundness of the advice. To step into each others roles would require a leap of faith that we are not as impermiable as we would think by habit.
I am withdrawing from this site and all attendant controversy as I have a great interest in growing up. Be well.
