Rick of Pack Collective here, I've got a couple questions...

A friend has a six-year-old son, who's having mucho issues in school/with the school, because he's been (I believe) (mis)diagnosed as ADHD. I believe, the the child's multiple, based on behaviors he exhibits, and other such stuff...Whether I'm wrong or not, the whole mess is going on a crash course to a shrink's office...

now, my thing is, a six-year-old couldn't(imho, my apologies to any six-year-olds I may have offended) understand the rammifications of being multiple, and so, the possibilities end like this: 1) he IS accurately diaged as multi, and gets a multi-friendly psych(odds of this?)

2) he IS accurately diaged as multi and the psych thinks his mother's done something HORRIBLE to him(or someone else, whatever, in any case it's not true, I LIVE there)

2) he's inaccurately misdiaged as something else, and ends up where I know alot of us have been...

so onto the questions part:

any advice?

how old(body age) were you when you realized you were multi?

how old(body age) were you when you UNDERSTOOD WHAT THAT MEANT?

how old were you when you realized the full rammifications of that, regarding life, society, psych community?

thanks for all of your help...

I am, as you may have guessed, new to this community.

I am not personaly multipul but I was at one point, split due to situations I couldn't handle on my own. It wasn't so much that we were two people so much as there was Me-Who-Could-Cope and Me-Who-Couldn't-Cope. I identified it as a him and him as Alexander, my older brother.
It has been three years sence I last saw him and he only came up for half an hour to beat the crap out of someone who tried to grope myself and, more importently, my sister. At the time I was furious and he just kind of showed up, took control, beat on the guy for a while, and left. The only thing my sister noticed was that I rather suddenly aquiered skill with a padded sword(I am quite hopeless at it myself) and commenced with the fight and the accompaning lecture on what is and is not appropriet to do upon meeting a young lady.
I can only assume that if I need him he'll come back but I generaly don't see him at all. the problems that split us are years past and I'm quite content with my life now.


I do live with two multipul households, one of whom is my mother and the other my 'brother'(dear friend come to live with us and decided to stay)
they are both three person households and I have met and acepted all of them that I know of.
I consider my mother's 'brothers' to be my uncles and can tell the difference between them without more then a glance. I am, I beleve, the only one who -can- tell them apart even when one of them 'flickers' in and out of corporiality in seconds. He does this occasoinaly and I am the only one(who doesn't share the body) who can catch him at it every time.
I freely admit to being alarmed but the other of my uncles at first, but considering that the first time I saw him I was eight and we were right in the midst of the fore-mentioned problems I think that's only natural.
My brother's kin can be quite odd but I do not fear them nor have I ever feared them.

There is elements of Magik in my knowing the difference between my uncles but I most cirtenly don't rely on it and do not need to do so.
As I said, I am not multipul anymore but I have a great deal of knowlage on the subject and I am quite willing to share.
I am very blunt and I will give a logical, rational awnser to a quetion I am asked. I will attempt to be tactful but if and when tact fails, I can and will be -very- strateforward, to the point of rudeness if need be. I hope that this will not offend anybody and I'm saying it now so people know it.

Hi everybody.

I'm not sure why I'm posting this here, but maybe something good or at least interesting will come out of it.

At first, a brief update for those who happen to have seen previous posts from us: We decided to leave certain bad things behind that happened with a social worker during pregnancy. We have so much going on that we really don't have the time or the ability to deal with any possible. And what's going on is good. I just hope that lady learned her lesson through our example.

Anyway, the actual topic:Read more... )

I don't know if this makes any sense, but some feedback would be nice.

(EDIT: I do believe the word that was to follow 'possible' was the word 'crap', but for some reason there was no word typed there at all. Haha!)

Thanks to all who gave feedback on the two drafts that we made about Plurality and Parenting. We did one last edit and emailed a copy to our Children's Aid worker.

When we saw her today she said that receiving a piece like that was definitely 'a first' for her. And she was surprised how much work and detail we put into the piece. The woman was impressed, that's for sure. 'lol'

And we have a lot of you to thank for helping us make the piece comprehensive, genuine, and singlet-friendly. :) There was a lot of feedback from people, and we don't want to leave anyone out, so if you gave any, consider yourself thanked. 'lol'

Our Occupational Therapist also got a copy today, and I'm sure she'll get a real kick out of it (she already knows a lot about our system).

Hugs and blessings for everyone!

Hi!

Thanks to your help (as well as that of those in another community), we have managed to revise the document we made for the Children's Aid/Pregnancy and After Care worker. Please read and review.

Thanks again!

Hi everybody. What's under the cut is a work in progress. Basically I don't have time to explain to my 'Pregnancy and After Care' worker, as well as other people who don't know much about Multiplicity, how being Plural affects (or doesn't affect) my ability to parent, so writing it down for them to review seems to be an ideal solution. We could really use some feedback. Please note, however, that we are referring to our case in particular when we write, which has some trauma history as well as particular mechanisms we happen to have that others may not necessarily share. We also use minimal references to MPD/DID, but as you'll see it's for a good reason. We especially could use some more responses to our last bit on "parenting assets".

Hi everybody!

We wanted to get some feedback on what people would think of us starting an LJ community for Plural Parents? Basically, there is almost nothing out there for people in this category. It would be a place for parents and expectant parents to network, support, educate, and empower one another. I am wondering if singlet SO's and relatives should also be welcome?

Suggestions, questions, and comments would very much be appreciated, as well as offers to moderate the community alongside us (since we are due in 4 weeks and we could use the help). 'flutters eyelashes'

Thanks!

***EDIT: Ok, we found out one exists already thanks to comments below. I feel quite foolish at the moment.*** 'embarassed'

I hoe i's OK to post this here. A recent post on here brought up a good point. There aren't any communities for parents who are multiple. So, I decided to finally create one. [livejournal.com profile] didparents Let me know what you think. :)

EDIT: Very good points...I changed it. So, now it's [livejournal.com profile] plural_parents. Sorry for any inconvenience and/or offense.

Are there anr good groups for multiples who are parents or will be very soon? I am due to have my first child November 9th and have tones of questions and no one to answer them. My best friend has a son so the basic baby/pregnancy questions I have covered but I have no one to ask about parenting from a multiples perspective.

Thanks :)
