Yeah, it takes some pretty messed up stuff to fracture a personality.
Hm, never heard of it.
Hm, I always attributed it to extreme compartmentalism (He does it a lot in my stories. Extreme loyalty to family [it's all he's got], will kick the everliving tar out of ANYONE who threatens them [He left the bastard that raped his wife twice and killed their unborn child in a burning building to roast alive (Oh, bob, it's going to feel good writing that story!)...oh, and the guy kidnapped Silver at birth. He's asking to die.], but having this extreme dislike for most of the rest of the world...heh, started out as him wanting to get back at 'justice' because he didn't get it with his mother.)
But, I'm starting to wonder if that could be the case... I have an acquaintance who is MPD, and from what I hear from my 'brothers', her personalities are completely different. There's one that's basically just a little girl, one that's her 'normal' one (?), I think one called 'seeker' (she's searching for a way to reconcile the personalities), and a bunch I can't recall. Among other things, she was raped at least once and there was something about a Satanic ritual...and those are F***ing messed up. ;_;
*strokes chin in thought* You know, if you're going to write this, make sure you read everything you can on the subject. I can tell you've already done a lot of research, but would you mind if I asked one of my friends for book recs for you? The one I had the codependent crush on knows a ton about it, and even the other 'brother' knows a bunch...
