Mentions SI

I don't think I could ever live without my inner family! I hear so often about "integration", but I don't know if that's what I want or what would be best. I love them each in their own way.
Now, I only know about 4 of them and since I have been here a while and feel comfortable so I wanted to share some about them.

Jo-Jo - She is 7. She holds most of the anger and fear. She is afraid of just about everything. She hides when things are not going quite right. Her anger comes out in an SI way and in a tantrum way. She is, also very loving and caring and sweet.

Mary - She is 8. She stays in one spot reading ALL THE TIME. She has never spoken a word to anyone. She is not happy, nor sad...she just is. She lays on the bed on her stomach with her hand under her chin holding it up and has the book on the bed flipping the pages with the other hand. I often wonder what purpose she serves.My inner family

Beau - He is 19. He mostly protects Mary, but recently is protective of both the littles. He is very tough, very manly, he can also be belittling and he criticizes often. Lately he has changed a lot. He is more caring, understanding and even left Mary long enough to play with Jo-Jo to calm her down. He seems to be growing up....

Lakota - She is 40. I call her the Wise One. She protects everyone. She stands at the top of the stairs making sure no one comes up. She is sort of like a motherly figure to Jo-Jo. She is very quiet and only talks when I ask her to help out.
My inner family

I know there is at least one more because I can hear them, I just can't see them....kinda disturbing. This other one seems to be older in age, but I can't figure out why. They're voice is very low (as in a lot of bass) and just....kinda scary. My inner family

OK, anyways...I just wanted to share some with you all. Hopefully, now you will understand a little about my inner family.
