DID question. Please help.
« Thread Started on Feb 21, 2008, 3:51am »

A quick history lesson before the question so you can understand better.

From the age of 6-12 I was physically/sexually/mentally abused by my father, brother, and boys at my school. I have abandonment issues because my mother would leave me all the time in dangerous situations. When I was 14 she finally divorced my father and then moved in with her boyfriend 3 months later, leaving me at home a lone most of the time. I have been told by my psychologist that I have been going on and off too since I was 13 (I'm 19 now) that I have DID. I don't like to talk about i tmuch because once when I brought it up to my mom and told her she told me I was lying and yelled at me.

The reason why my mom didn't believe me is because my personalities are characters from books that have really touched my life. She told me that that isn't how it worked and called me a liar. Ever since then I have been too embarrassed to talk about it even with my psychologist.

So I'm here asking someone that might know if it really is impossible for my alters to be characters from books?

I Honestly don't know. Let me do some research. I don't see why they wouldn't take on names or characteristics of stories they have read, but let me do some looking so I can give you a more thourough answer.

Oh, and welcome to "The Coping Boards". I'll go make sure you have access to all the right places!!
