Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up.Pearl S. Buck
This quotes and others like it used to always puzzle me. Before integration, I felt so chaotic inside. After integration it took a while to get used to the quite. Now, I finally know what this means.

When I was little I had a "friend" I talked to in the mirror and in my 60s my NPs still talked about her as proof I was crazy! As an adult, I learned that lots of kids have imaginary friends or pets. At least they were nice to us!
I always thought that when multiplies got "better" they had to choose one personality and destroy/abandon the others. (Guess I've watched too many movies!) The term "integration" sound so much better! It sounds like you got to keep your friends.
You've definitely taught me a lot, Ruth.

(((P/M))) My friends helped me survive. I wasn't leaving anyone behind. I appreciated what my counselor told me, "When a child is raised in insanity, a child adapts." I think your parents still bringing up your childhood "friend" in your 60s is proof positive as to who was the problem and it wasn't you. :)
I use how comfortable I am with the quiet as a guide. "Be still and know that I am God."
Hello Ruth
I can still remember the beautiful smiling face of my “real” mother; she would come to me at night, in the dark (when me and my siblings were locked in our bedroom.)
It's still a lovely memory.
