someone to play with

I don't know if others struggle with this, but my "littles" can enjoy playing alone or watching a movie alone, but they really prefer to have an outside friend to enjoy games and shows with.

While I have some family that will on rare occasion join my littles, it is very lonely for my kids much of the time.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

John - I love it! Other than my T I have no one who knows about my parts/insiders. Of course, I don't really have anyone else other than my T in my life so communicating would be a challenge even if I had access to the child parts.

Like everyone else our little are made or connection. The sad thing is that many o our littles had their irst connections with people who hurt them. The only real solution I have is developing my own connections with people who are trustworthy enough or my littles to have a riendship with them as well. There is a littles group on here but it isnt used as oten as here. There used to be a chat group which littles were welcomed to use but sadly that isnt used anymore. Thankully we have a support group here in Melbourne which we can go to or people with DID which our littles sometimes come out. Regrettably it all comes down to trust and I havent met anyone who has experienced trauma let alone someone with DID whp doesnt have major trust issues.

Hi tyzz27 - Funny you had mentioned in Melbourne! I actually went on a business trip there in 7/2000 for a company called MYOB when they enacted the GST/PST for the first time there! I almost stayed but had a golden retriever I had to come back to the states to care for.

my little is stephy... my lil child that was hurt and abused when I was very young... I only have one little and she is very shy and when she comes out to play, it has to be with someone she trusts explicitly.. I do believe that is so very important in this type if interaction with another...perhaps one of the elders within can check out the perspective playmate... fortunately stephy has a very close, wonderful friend to play with... it has helped her come around and make a great connection with our leading host...we did not have that connection prior to the playtime...so, I am grateful for my friend... good luck finding the right one to play with...

It helps so much to hear from all of you - thank you!

Littles is the word I use to describe the little kids in my system.

My therapist suggested having my adults hang with my little people but it's really just not the same as an outside person.

It would be nice if there were more resources for this. It'd be nice to have people to go to museums with, play games with, etc. who are safe...

Nice to know I'm not alone, though, so thank you! Any other ideas are certainly welcome!

I would classiy my littles as being anyone internal under the age o 13.
