Yay, congrats for getting the link up!!!

I read that a while back, I think (reacquainting myself with it now to make sure, because I read SO much right after diagnosis, it is hard to remember where I learned what). But, I have read several articles that focus on early attachment issues and specifically d attachment as either an early predictor or source/origination of MPD/DID. It kind of goes along with my sense that the early and extended neglect (failure to respond) and emotional abuse was actually more the root cause of my current experiences, rather than the incidents of other abuse. Because, had I had attuned caregivers to respond to (or even NOTICE) that bad stuff when it was happening, I wouldn't have had to cope by splitting off my need for response, comfort, connection, etc. A lot of my early journaling, from before T even mentioned the word dissociation, deals with this idea of quarantining those needs. And, that's really how I see it, in a way. Like locking up a prisoner, because s/he is threatening to the rest of society, or isolating an infected person. Except, instead of being violent or sick, I just had normal needs that were depicted or reacted to as if there were either threatening or nonexistent. Anyway, enough intellectualizing here. Sometimes, I use that as a way to avoid actually working through my feelings and I'm getting rather detached discussing it in this way.
