To write it down and sort of say it out loud here. Did I say how proud I am of you? Coming to grips with this is so tough. I know. It seems for me like we have been back and forth for years on end. I think not only you "were" but you "are now". Maybe not in the sense that it is going on right now in the present. But that it lives on and colors so much of your inside world. So probably to them it is as if it is now. Sending you hugs for acknowledging something I know was very very difficult. We are here for you always. love and of course many hugs melissa I have been down that Nile road so often myself, I recognize what an achievement it is to put all this out there for you.

I know the struggle. I still sometimes find myself wondering how it could possibly be true. It seems so far out there. And yet people who don't even know me, are not victims, but read my blog believe it is true. I think denial functions like a buffer to protect us from more than we can bare. Breaking through it is a really huge thing in the therapy process. It’s not just multiples who go down this road, all victims try to deny their abuse and/or blame themselves for it.

I think everyone goes down the denial path with multiplicity because it's an easy way to deny what happened to cause it. *hugs tight* I’m very proud of you for this, ALL of you.
