Telling My Mom About My Alters

Does anyone else's parents know about their alters? I recently told my mom (I identify with the body/am the host) and she surprisingly has been learning about it, it's so sweet of her

Yes. I told mine but they told me I wasn’t traumatized enough to have DID and that I don’t act like I have it 😕

You don't have to have a certain amount of trauma to be traumatized. Nobody's trauma is the same amount, doesn't make yours any less traumatic to you. You also don't have to act a certain way to prove you have something. I'm sorry they said that to you. -Poison

A lot of our C-PTSD stems from our parents so we've never wanted to tell them. That's cool that your mom is willing to do that for you though!

Some of mine is from other people she had us around but she learned and stopped things
