dissociative identity disorder. formerly known as multiple personality disorder.
sorry not much help. i know what it stands for but i don't know a whole lot about it. i know it has to do with dealing with (typically) childhood trauma so severe that you do some 'splitting' that helps you to survive those times, which is what many times those splits become separate alternate personalities, usually taking on the needs of the child such as a protector, a child, a wild one...etc.
this is just a very loose description, i hope i didn't put foot in mouth. there are others here Much more familiar with descriptions and definitions than i. but i wanted to give you an idea.
hopefully someone else chimes in.i agree with you about this board. i hope kerria comes to realize she is cared about here.
