How has your life changed since the integration

Dear Jean,

My life since integration has become calmer. Although busy, I’ve been able to manage well on my own without “alter” help. I have divorced my once abusive husband, I now work full-time, and I continue to do all that I can to be independent. Each day brings a new challenge for me. I continue to search for new things to do and experience. There is so much for me to learn after spending many years living my life with the alters. Now, alone, I must learn to tend to my own needs and try my best not to live for everyone else. I am thankful to wake each morning knowing that my life is my own. I can make my own decisions, my own choices, and keep commitments that once were impossible.
