Hello Jack,
I encourage you to follow your heart on this one. I've been with my Wife for
19 years, and although it has been very difficult at times, I don't regret
our union. The majority of difficulty has been caused by my side of the
family not understanding, or not excepting her differences, or the reasons
for them. She has 30 plus alters, I have tourette syndrome. My family doubts
my diagnosis as well as hers, and wonders why I have lost touch with
them(duh!)
I feel the biggest hurdle in our relationship, has been to understand that
society shuns the victims of abuse, denies the reality of said abuse, and
labels the abused as having "victim mentality". In the face of this "normal"
behavior, one needs to be secure in themselves, and not rely on outside
approval, as it rarely comes. I wish you and yours the best.

Take Care,
Aaron
