@Faith-and-Hope All mine have names, I stopped counting at 60, realising numbers don't matter. They are also male and female. They have different likes interests and opinions. I actually see the person like my most recent arrival is 5 yrs old. Long dark uncombed hair, a pinafore about four sizes too big and doc Martin boots. I see it like the latest tv when they are somehow in the room with you in body, that's why I don't agree with the term DID, it's not pure dissociation that I personally experience. I made a big mistake in watching the Hollywood versions which scared more than helped. I'm guessing, but only guessing, that identification will only come with safety. You said your husband would only hurt himself, not anyone else, that's me also. I would never deliberately hurt anyone, but I have damaged myself considerably. I'm trying not to overload you. Tell me to back off if necessary, I can be very obedient.lol.
