Dissociative identity disorder is a diagnosis described as the existence in an individual of two or more distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.

Do you any of you have a problem with alcohol and changing alters?
My husband goes in cycles. For two or three months he will be OK, then about month before it happens everytime he drinks he "blacksout" a little more each time and gets more violent each time. Last week I felt that it was getting close to another huge episode like we had before Christmas. I told him that, because when he is focused I can talk to him very openly about things. He knew and understood what I meant. On Friday he called me and was drunk, and driving. Which is a huge no-no for me. I knew by talking to him on the phone that I could not say anything to him or it would be determinatel to my safety. When he came home he was very angery and drunk. I was very nice and kind to him, but something agiated him and he kicked the coffee table across the room and then grabbed my by the throat, my best friend who was there grabbed his arm and he whirled around on her. We both got a away and left. The next day he did not remember anything that happened. This is not the first time this has happened.
I just wasn't sure if anyone else has had this same problem or not. I know that alcohol is just a catalist not the reason for him phasing, but I don't know how to help it from happening.

Good luck and keep us posted about what is going on.

But one thing is certain, things will get worse and worse, and more dangerous for you.
You need to think hard about (and I mean, please do this ASAP) getting away from this man.
Until and unless he gets his behavior under control, and stops drinking, which is highly unlikely as long as you're still there.
REGARDLESS OF THIS MAN'S SITUATION AND CONDITION, YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND KEEP YOURSELF SAFE.
