brand new to all of this...be gentle. Maybe Triggering?

Hey welcome to the forum

Don't feel too badly about the way you were treating them, what's done is done and beating yourself up about it is counter productive. When I first came here I was calling my alters imaginary friends beacuse I couldn't bring myself to call them alters and they got realy pissed at me.

I now treat them like I'd treat anyone else. I get to know them and what they like and I try to make it up to them when I'm a bitch. Maybe if you offer them more than an appology and maybe do something to make up for denying them you might be able to get along with them better.

I think I figured out what they want. I haven't told my mother about them because I know she wont believe me, but I think they see it as me continuing to deny they are real. I've decided to tell her and just try to ignore the crap she'll try to give me. They have always been angry with my mother for not helping us when I was a child, and I think that they feel me not telling her about it is me siding with her. That would make anyone resentful I think! Much less people that have to rely on me to experience time "outside" the mind. Being somewhat dependent on people you don't trust is a horrible experience, much too much like our childhood. I think that these may be the step they need to see that I wont push them away once the healing begins.

Does this sound right to anyone? I feel like I'm shooting in the dark here.

hello,i dont know if its the same wiyh everyone,depending on whos chatting,some have voices,some talk like mind to mind,the child talks in visions etc.some dont talk to me at all,sometimes i can talk on the recorder on my phone and be left messages by them.and the diarys a good idea.bit scared at mo,apparently we have a new one,i've no idea who yet though.i'm sure you will get better communication,but it can take a while.

You're sticking up for yourself, which can be a very powerful thing,
and you're not expecting anything from your mom.
You're also showing your parts that you can take control of the situation
and you won't leave them behind.
It sounds like you know what you want.
Be careful, and good luck!!!
