Kendra,

I guess I would try and explain every aspect of the DID as much as I could to my friend. It is very hard to explain sometimes so that others can understand.

I guess I wonder if it was "you" who hurt her or was it an alter who said things? Was it from your frustration? There is a lot of this with DID and I am not trying to blame or point a finger in anyway. I just wonder if it was an alter... then can you get her to understand that it wasn't you who hurt her?

If she was hurt because of your mood swings (which come with the territory btw) then maybe there is someway you can explain this.

I don't know how much you want to disclose to her.

I am sorry if I have asked more questions than answered. I guess my answer would depend on the way your friend was hurt.

You can feel free to pm and I will try to help if you would like.

Take care.
