I have had people in my head talking to me for years, its just very scary. Im not sure how to tell my family about the new development because I do know that at least one of the others has spent time with most of them.
Telling your family is optional. Many of us have talked to people in our biological family, but used our general 'public presentation' and voice. I don't think they'd react well to knowing about us-- probably think we were 'going through a phase,' at best; and at worst, try to get us put in a hospital. >___< At this point, coming out would create more problems than it would solve. Our true friends know and that's what's important.
We have talked to each other most of our lives, but I guess it just didn't occur to us when we were young to be scared by the idea of other people in our head. We were each other's best friends and family, and support through difficult times. What we did get told by people around us, when we were younger and tried to explain to them about the others, was that we 'had to learn to distinguish fantasy and reality' and that we had a problem with understanding what was real. :p
