Support group for multiples

[The People]

Bashing and ignorant people. We already live in fear when we go out our door of people not being open minded and taking a chance at being beaten for being who we are in this close minded state that we live in here in the US. So for us we have the same fear for anyone finding out about us being a multiple. Unless this group was somewhere that was monitored and was not able to be found out what is was about by anyone other than those that were in the group we would be fearful of people who do not understand us and having some sort of violence against us and for us that has already happened enough in our lives.

We wrote pdoc about coming out multiple (or somebody) and said that in many ways it is harder than coming out Gay. We are too but not active so it is a non-issue. As for you, if it is so scary in your state is there any way of moving to one that is more accepting? Where I live is very red neck but not as bad as some American states.

We would love to live in a world that we could just go out and be ourselves daily. Meet up with others that are like us and just hang out and talk about our daily life and get some positive feed back and have no worries!! But the reality of that at least in our minds is that people are still not open minded enough to handle it. We barely live in a world where DID is an acceptable disorder so to speak. Here in Michigan we can receive mental health treatment for it. But when we lived out in Colorado for 5 years they refused us treatment as they said it didn't exist and so we had to go without all those years. So we know that reality is it is not acceptable to everyone as of now but we so with it was.

Sorry to be the party pooper of this post as that is so not usually me. Just putting in my two cents worth and how our system feels on this one. If there was a way to have this happen and it be where we felt safe and secure of course we would love to have something like this happen. At least then we would feel so alone all the time. That is why MM is so important to us as at least here we have friends and a outlet to the "outside" world again!
