Thank you. This scares me but in a good way (?) I talked to my SO last night. I was mildly bringing up the topic of disassociation so I could see how he would react. I said something like 'Paige in my group thinks I may have DID..side note this is true, Paige was the first to gently push me to talk about my voices...' He said..matter of factly ..'Oh I totally think you have at a minimum some dissociation but I think you are probably DID...'..ok floor feather um.. thanks?

I give him a lot of credit for a. noticing and b. not freaking out..is it weird to be a little angry though that he is so comfortable and definitive and I dont have that...

Anyway thanks for this link.. I will pass it onto him

THANK YOU for posting this! I'd never seen it, but I love it. The resources section is a little outdated; I wonder if he'd consider updating it now that there are so many great internet resources for survivors AND their SOs (like this one, when it starts behaving again).

I printed all 36 pages, read them on break at work (bit of a mistake, as some parts brought tears) then gave them to Hubby. He acted insulted, as if he "needed" an instruction manual. I told him it wasn't because he was doing anything wrong, but rather because he does so much right, and I want him to see that other guys have had to figure things out, too, as they try to help.

LOVED the Who's out first skit. Someday I'll copy and paste that here, because it's freakin hilarious!
