Don't read books like that. Ew. You want to read a book about MP, at least make it one like Truddi Chase where she sets the example of being competent. We really need a book about healthy multiplicity to set against all the gunk that is out there.
Cru Gordon (Cameron West's real name) did a great disservice to the whole community publishing that book. Yes, you're in a similar situation, you're multiple while everyone around you is in total denial and thinks multiplicity is insanity, and this can very much screw things up, and make you go into denial and think that you are not or just "insane" as you say.
But if you think about what he wrote, the problems aren't so much with Cru's people, they're with his wife. Notice how she reacts when his doctor say that he should allow other people to front run for an hour every day. She flips out completely. She's the nut, not him! It's her attitude that causes 90% of what goes wrong with that bunch, if you ask us. He should have just told her that's the way it was; but being that he's basically afraid of women due to what he went through as a kid, he naturally let her have the upper hand. Understandable, but he's got to find a way to communicate with her.
What that group needed was a cohesive operating system and to lay down the law to Ms. Buns. A little less focus on the good life and all the yuppie conveniences and a little more on his personal health and reality would have made his life a whole lot easier.
