I would like to ask a question ?

I am DID and until recently had no real
issue with my little one Sherree some will know the spelling as
(sherrri) that is how she writes her name
Sherree is 6yrs old and has been hiding in her cupboard
only coming out for those she truely believes are worth her trust
at least that is how I and T see it recently however she has
taken to calling me mummy and I do not understand this
is this something that has happened to others or is it just me
and mine being "strange"
Thank you for reading this

Hi starrina,
I think it is wonderful that Sherrri is calling you mummy (I'm guessing she means mommy, more common in US). She must trust and love you tons! My therapist Mary has suggested to some of the little ones in me that I could be their Mom now. So far they haven't been at all interested But that is me too. I worry about being able to be a good mom to them. I don't think it's strange at all. Congratulations mummy!

P.S. Smokey is Gorgeous!

The little ones have your internal need for a parent figure. What I see is that you as a whole person are healing and maturing. And you as the little one is starting now to TRUST YOU as the big one. That comes out in the most intimate healthy and safe relationship a child should have - child to mother.

Congrats on your healing work!

Dear starrina,

I'm glad that sherri feels comfortable enough to communicate with you.

I would seek professional help for a diagnosis of DID. And get continued help from there on. To be DID there needs to be at least two separate personalities present.

One a personal note though, when things started to unfold for me, i had a few strange things happening but I wasn't aware what they represented.

Be guided by your T.
