We want to thank those of you who have been stopping by regularly. It’s really quite a big deal for us. And, new SandyCat Person :) welcome to the Journal community (J-land).It is a pleasure to be meeting you. You offered so many nice words that you’ve got us blushing all over! As you travel around the community, check out some of the links of journals you like. There is a lot of really cool people to be found!
Muse, there have always been switches with Dr. M., but not so many with the younger parts. Having Dear Heart (Annemarie) "out" with him is new since about August ... There’s more information given at the beginning of our journal. But it is long. Dr. M. Has never met Mimi, Crystal, Gracie, Marie, and Henry. He’s just now meeting Anna and Lissa, so it’s kind of a big deal to us.
Just one friend and our last doctor, hospital people, and Dr. W. (7 years), has met the younger ones. We’ve been with Dr. M. Now for 4 ½ years. The majority of us trust Dr. M. dearly. He’s the smartest and nicest person we ever met! Jamie asked if he minded these other parts being out and he conveyed with a big confident smile that everyone was welcome.
The trust deal you all (Vince, John & Bill) referred to is a big deal. We need to trust not only him, but us. This is a different kind of responsibility. We need to be figurin out how to switch to older parts so that after an hour appointment, we can walk to the door and be driving to work or home. With Dr. W. ... this was pretty hard. We’d spend hours hiding out in abandoned rooms and labs, lost in the stairwell, or once even up a tree. (Henry loves trees, but that didn’t go so well with hospital security...)
We think that you trust to different degrees. We trust that we can write a good Qnote, but some of the younger parts? To start with Mimi most often sleeps, doesn’t know words and makes throat sounds like, "uh-uh-uh-uh." Crystal thrashes, Gracie offers paralysis and Anna appears terrified of attack. None of these understands being "out."

I think I understand the situation. Maybe the "older" adult members could "safety valve" the younger ones by staying close to "help' when they are out. Maybe here I am talking about member strength? I'm not sure. But, I'm willing to walk with you via this Journal if you wish. My Regards, Bill.
Now you got me thinking!!

Thanks Bill and Vince for your ongoing support. We're trying to handle things as they come, but it is the writing and communicating with others that seems to give our life the most value. We look very forward to your feedback. Kind of keeps us from those "crazy" feelings. We have another appointment coming up at the end of today. Have to wait and see how this will next progress. We'll try not to be overwhelming anyone here. You've become such a blessing to us.
Okay, completely off your topic.. But, I think I should start putting links to the websites where I get my photos. I never worry about them being copywrighted or getting sued, lol. But, it would seem like the nice thing to do. Unless they were some freebie graphic, of course.
Dr. M. does seem to be a very good doctor, I'm glad you are seeing him. In time hopefully, the others will feel comfortable enough to come out and reveal themselves to him.
