[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother has DID. I think our relationship has improved slightly over the years, but there was so much trauma for everyone involved before he actually got the diagnosis that it burnt a lot of bridges. I do feel for him and I think educating myself about the disorder helped me heal a lot. I do not know how his wife deals with it, because I would not be able to. I’ve seen him disassociate in real time and take on his alters. I think I’ve learned his triggers and learned when to back off or walk away before things escalate. It’s been especially difficult for my parents who, due to their generational views, have a hard time understanding his diagnosis and feel they somehow are responsible for it. Anyway, I think you can still maintain a “normal” relationship. How were things beige the diagnosis? My opinion is that having a diagnosis may actually help improve your relationship as you are better able to understand his disorder and work with it. [/quote]

*meant to say, before the diagnosis. Not beige. [/quote]
