Advice Please

Postby GrayWolf » Sat Apr 29, 2017 4:59 am

Hello My name is Leo I am one of GrayWolf's alters she knows that it is wrong of her to keep us from her husband they have been married for almost a year. They have known each other for almost three years though. And been together for close to two years she just hasn't told him yet that she has Dissociative Identity Disorder. She isn't exactly sure who she has been trying since they started to date to figure out how to tell him. Her husband doesn't understand certain things and she isn't exactly sure how to explain things to him in away he will understand. She knows that he will stand by her side no matter what but she just doesn't know how exactly to tell him. That she has DID and isn't sure how to explain it to him in words he will understand. He has learning disabilities and has trouble understanding some words she doesn't want to treat him like he's stupid. And doesn't want to use words he wont understand so she isn't sure what to do. Any advice will be great thank you.
Leo
I live with PTSD, DID, OCD, Bi Polar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Sever Chronic Depression, Insomnia and Anorexia I have my good days and my bad days with everything and I love how my husband is very supportive, kind, helpful, understanding and above all else he is very loving

Hi,

You sound like a very thoughtful person. You obviously care for your partner. I don't have any advice. Talking it over with your therapist may be a good idea. Even inviting your partner to a session and asking your therapist to facilitate the whole thing. It can be very overwhelming for all concerned. Don't rush things. If he loves and supports you - this is great. I always felt that my relationship cannot be defined by my diagnosis. Be kind to your partner. Do unto them what you would like for yourself. No one can be expected to always be the caregiver. Be prepared to give as much as you ask.

Good luck
Pietmond
