I wish I knew. My partner came out for me. I had to be told, remember, that I was a multiple. Had that moment of the lightbulb going on, where I started thinking, 'Oh, so that's why I have blackouts and missing time and keep "coming to" in strange places...'

Granted, I haven't told everyone in my life yet, but those I feel capable of understanding, I have told. And to a person, they either disbelieve, but humor me, or are baffled, and immediately dismiss it. Very strange.
