Jane,

I'm sorry, I assumed you knew my history.  I was diagnosed with MPD/DID many years ago and I've recovered.  MPD is not "Split Personality."   I spent too many long, gruelling, awful years in recovery to feel like I have to explain why it's wrong to describe it those terms, so I give up.  You have all of the resources at your disposal that I do and can do your own research.  I can tell you this.  Using the terms "split personality" is a slang term used by people to ridicule and hurt the folks who have that serious disorder as well as many other serious mental illnesses.  It doesn't help to perpetuate myths and stigmas.  That's all I'm trying to get across to you. 

Besides that, the cult uses it against me, has for several years.  That has hurt me more than you can imagine.  

If you're interested I can refer you to very knowledgeable adn realiable sources to get your facts straight. 

Thank you,

Cynthia
