Jackie is an alter that acts very much like her mother. "Doc" says she might be a sociopath like her mother.
Jackie states that life wasn't hard for her. She denies DID and denies her past. She says her mother was a blessing and she looks up to her mother. Jackie loves and misses her mother. Why must she deny what is right in front of her face? Why must she deny HER own past of laying with men and trying to seduce men? Jackie never had sex with men. That's what other alters, Julie and Jillian, were for. However, Jackie did watch them being raped. Why must she deny that?
Is living in denial appropriate for her? It is probably how she survived her horrific past. If she believed she was loved and cherished by her mother, then her mother knew best. Her mother would always tell her, "I know what is best for you. I am your mother."
In a DID system alters were "born" for purposes. Her purpose was to seduce the men. However, she could not handle the touching, licking, and raping so we developed other alters to take this abuse. She just showed men "a good time" and got them "ready" for sex. However, she did not see herself like that. She sees herself as a "woman" (she is really a 5 year old child) that needs men to live. She does not care about any one but herself and her feelings. Why does she deny HER own past?
She is fully aware that Julie and Jillian are scared of men and can't be around men. She is fully aware of their past. However, she only cares about herself. She constantly wants a man to hug and love on. She does not see anything wrong with loving on a man because "nothing happens."
If she has seen the raping of the other alters, why must she constantly want a man around? Even a man that has raped "the little ones" before. She only cares for herself.
As the alter that is "out" all of the time, I must deal with Jackie constantly. Liz couldn't handle her. She was able to control Liz but she can't control me. She still tries to manipulate me. However, I am smarter than that. She can't fool me.
Why must she live in denial? Is it easier than dealing with the truth?

My Thoughts
I was asked...."Why are you doing so much research on DID? Why don't you live in the present and stop trying to find out information about DID? LIVE your LIFE!!" The person said.
This got me thinking..."Why in the world can't I stop looking for information on DID? I can't read blogs about DID...too many triggers...I can only research DID and find facts on DID. Why am I doing this? Is this a common reaction to a recent diagonsis of DID?"
My thought process.....
1. Imagine thinking that everyone hears converstaions in their heads.
2. Imagine thinking that everyone looses time.
3. Imagine thinking that no one can remember their childhood.
4. Imagine thinking that everything you feel, think, and do is normal.
5. Imagine thinking that your childhood wasn't bad.
Now imagine being told...I'm sorry Liz, this isn't normal. You have been living in DENIAL.
What you have been experiencing has a name...Dissociative Identity Disorder/Multiple Personality Disorder.
Now imagine trying to believe these new facts and understanding that the conversations in your head are actually personalities caused by severe abuse by the hands of your own flesh and blood. The only person that was there to protect you...your mother.
Of course I am going to do research on DID.
What is it?
Are you sure this diagnosis is correct?
Perhaps it isn't correct.
Perhaps you are wrong and my initial thoughts, denial, were correct.
I am still trying to figure out where I stand in this new chapter of my life. Every thing I read confirms my diagnosis. I was told eventually "you will discover information is just that....information. and nothing can change that."
But in the meantime...I am still searching.....still looking for INFORMATION....
What was your response to the initial diagnosis?
How did you handle it?
