getting the littles to understand DID
Questions from *Judy* :)
Mae just could not get that maybe everyone inside of me is blended together to make Judy, that I always was safe. I saw her picture too, and she's just toooo cute. I was wondering if she asked this same ? of grown up [Cody]or the husband or therapist? And what should I answer??
I think that Mae asks everyone that question. She just assumes that everyone has other people living in their heads with them, I think. Just tell her the truth, that no, not everyone has other people living in their head with them. I dont think she understands the answer, but maybe eventually she'll understand.
Mae told me she lives in the back, in the dark, and takes a tunnel to 'get out'. Is that how it is for you & the others? Are you in the dark? Do you have any kind of life 'within' Pilgrim, or only when you get to be outside?
I, Caroline, am not in the dark at all. :) I'm up front with the adults...hm, what I mean by that is, physically and psychologically located up toward the front of our mind, where all us older girls are at. I have a life mainly when I am "outside." I work full time. I listen in on conversations though usually, I try to keep an eye on the kids when they're out. I try hard to make sure everyone is safe. I have a positive, full, bright life. My life is good.

Thank you Caroline for the advice for Mae and a greater understanding of your life. I'm glad you enjoy your work and are capable and responsible and look out for the kids when they are out too. You do seem like a super 'mom', so to speak.Hugs and Blessings, Judy
