Hey there again. Since I posted a few days ago, things have been falling into place more and more. I am kind of scared, kind of exhilarated, wondering if I'm going crazy or just delusional. But, it feels right somehow. I am more scared by how not scared I am.
There are three others there. Two of them are very independant, one is far more 'connected' for lack of a better word. The guy in my userpic *points* is the guy that I am closest to, Tyb. I did a lot of soul searching, and worked out that he and the other two were there from a very early age. It makes a lot of sense: things I've forgotten, things I've repressed. I don't think there's any trauma involved. Its a very co-dependant sort of relationship, and seems rather healthy.
I have been taking advice from the few people who replied and taught Tyb how to write (he was largely illiterate). He is left-handed, so watching him write, draw and type is a fascinating experience. I type right handed, can't do anything with my left, but Tyb touchtypes (left-handed one hand typing doesn't work very well) and writes left handed. That in and of itself blows my mind. I remember as child being frustrated about not being able to use my left hand for writing and drawing. Probably a repressed Tyb trying to express himself (he agrees: I repressed them awfully.) Me and Tyb are developing a cooperative relationship. We figure once we are sorted out, we will try and involve the other two and discuss organisation and body-time.
The bad news is that my fiance has taken it badly, as has my plural friend. My fiance suspects I'm mentally ill, I'm sure of it. Mind you, we were sort of heading for a split anyway. Hopefully he won't try to instutionalise me XD.
My plural friend taking it badly suprised me. I think they sorted of counted on my normalcy to an extent. We've decided that we won't tell them much more, and not clue them in on Tyb's rapid assimilation of my skills and abilities, and mine of his, any more than we have. Despite them going through the same thing, they feel it is somehow an awful thing, which is why I started working with them in the first place - to help them get over the fact they are multiple. They have big issues with it: not just in the closet, but in the castle complete with spikes and ballista. Its very sad, because they love each dearly and want to be comfortable with themselves.
I'm amazed at how fast Tyb is learning. He is very persistant and fiercely determined to 'get out' and start exploring the world again. I wish I had friends I could rave to and squee at XD. There's a lot to talk about, but no one seems comfortable with me telling them about him...

Date: 2007-02-17 03:20 am (UTC)Unfortunately, they are slightly androphobic, and they are a little intimidated by Tyb at times, so he's agreed to keep quiet around them until they're used to the idea XD. They always knew him as an extremely well developed character (which they were also nervous about, as they like him and are scared of him at the same time). We'll work something out.
