multiplicity_archivesSo, I recently told my mother about being part of a system. It went rather well, I think. The first thing she said was that she didn't know much about multiplicity, but she knew it wasn't schizophrenia. That's more than most people understand.
It took a bit of courage to do that. I figured she wouldn't understand, or she'd be freaked ut and think I was crazy or something. I know I'm not, but having a reasonably close family member think you are would kind hurt. It was bad enough when I first started going through depression all those years ago. But now I'm out of the closet, so to speak.
*chuckles* My closet has many brooms. I've taken to referring to them as my broommates. XD
So, out of curiosity, how many people within your family know of your situation? How did they react? What did they say, and how did they treat you?
