It&#8217;s my hope that you are no longer afraid. Please remember not to be afraid or show fear because those actions will simply cause any aggressive alters to be aggressive. Trust me when I say multiples are attuned to your fears and can tell when someone is lying or false. I know you feel lost, but there is hope in being consistent. Be cautious and take care of yourself first. If you need to step away to do that, then do so. \u00a0Relationships go both ways, be a friend and hopefully she will understand your concern and turn around and respect you for caring.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv7838936430yui_3_2_0_21_134273063874152\">My alters never attacked anyone for suggesting therapy, my alters may have attacked when they were attacked or threatened by someone. An alter&#8217;s reason for being is to protect, not harm.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv7838936430yui_3_2_0_21_134273063874152\">Wishing you all my best.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv7838936430yui_3_2_0_21_134273063874152\">Karen<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Nadirah on 17 Jul 2012 at 9:56 pm How do I help a friend, my best friend, who is suffering greatly from past abuse.
