Dear Jeff,
Thanks for the story. I think the journey of the Significant Other
in a relationship with a person with MPD is, in many ways, as
difficult or even more difficult than it is for the person with MPD.
Of course, that's obviously not true in every instance. Many
relationships have been seriously damaged because of an alter, and
this affects the host personality greatly. But it is the significant
other that gets to meet all of these alternate personalities, talk
with them, and learn to come to terms with them.
It's a long journey, and a difficult journey. It seems to require a
lot of determination and understanding, which you obviously have.
I'm glad that there is some more activity in this group. I hope to
take time to explore some other groups offering support for SO's.
Sincerely, Wayne
