Your article on multiple personality
(18 December 1999, p 26) is worthy of
some comment. It is true that many multiples do experience dreadful
disorganisation and emotional difficulty in connection with their other
personalities, or their “household”, as we multiples refer to our other
selves.
However, not all multiples endure this, and being a multiple is certainly not
always “escaping into a nightmare”, nor is it a competition for control of one’s
life. Some multiple households, such as my own, work in harmony. We communicate,
share, and help each other. In fact, we have enabled each other to survive.
We are happy the way we are, and have no desire to become singular. We rather
wish that your magazine had presented the positive aspects of multiplicity along
with the negative.
