As I mentioned in a previous post, I am reading the Book 'Fractured Mind' by Robert B Oxnam. Not only is the book very interesting but also not triggering.
This is an interview done with Robert about his DID. It is very informative and inspiring.

I recommend watching it.
This is another video done by Robert, including other people and their stories, also very interesting.

The end and the beginning
Today was my last day at work. I had many mixed emotions about it, including anger and frustration at the company I worked for, for not being a better company.
My hope and plan for this time is to be able to spend the spare time I have attained, studying and learning more about my disorder.
With the revelation I had the other day about my gate keeper and being able to now address her by name, I have already increased to level of communication with in my system. I am hoping that as time goes on and with the extra time I will have, I will be able to communicate better and learn even more about the wonders of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Disclosure
I have only 2 more days working at my job, and today was my final day working at a particular store. During my time there I had become friends with a wonderful lady who has been a great support and source of parenting information for me. She has adult children so was able to advise me on how to deal with some of the troubles I was having with my teenagers. We decided to get together today after work for a farewell coffee. she is such a wonderful kind lady with a mothers heart and I feel so comfortable with her that I decided to tell her I have DID.
She took it so well and was amazed at how well I was coping with working and raising a family. It was a relief that she took it well and I was pleased that I was able to share with and inform someone about the realities of the disorder. We exchanged phone numbers and hugged good bye.
I don't know how much I have achieved today, but at least one more person out there has a better understanding of what our life is like and is able to see past the stigma to the real people trying to live normal lives.
Thank you "J" for your friendship and support.
