The person being interviewed chose to be anonymous. The method of doing this is sharing a Google Doc so that their story is written how they wanted it to be written and nothing can be misinterpreted. This is their story written as if they were speaking:
My story started in elementary school. There, I was abused by teachers and bullied by other students. The abuse was so traumatic that I sometimes had amnesia episodes that caused me to forget those incidents. Then both my parents and I, as well as my sister, noticed some behavioral changes that were very unusual for a 6-7-year-old boy. For instance, I had a doll and would breastfeed as I thought of myself as an adult female. My family thought I was just going through a phase.
I also displayed other feminine behaviors and even called Popeye "my boyfriend." At other times, I would switch back to a more masculine personality, displaying the likes and dislikes of a typical boy. For example, my boy personality did not like being kissed, love bugs, and slimy things. Later on, not many years from then, I was beaten by a lady from the church because I was crying too much and she lost her temper. Around that time, I developed another male personality who was older in age and whose name was Webster. At times, Webster, who was very much like a teenager, would age-slide into an adult male. Nowadays, I suspect that Webster, who self-identifies as a heroic alien from another planet, may have been born out of the desire for a male protector who could not be around much of the time due to a heavy work schedule.
During adolescence, my female alter ego would become dormant for many years. But then, during early adulthood, sexually related traumas took place. As a result, my dissociative identity disorder symptoms would come back in full force. My female alter ego now had a name - Kimberly. By then, she had age-slidden back into adolescence. At the program I was attending during that time, my peers simply thought I was gay when they noticed my female persona, Kimberly, was surfacing.
Over the years, I hid my D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder) from family and fellow church members. Whenever I was alone, my alien alter-ego, Webster (now under another name), would often take over and act out adventures that were taking place in his inner-galaxy, where he claims to have lived the full life and adopted some children of his own.
As I got even older, I subsequently experienced more emotional abuse and sexual trauma, which led to me creating more alternate personalities, some of which are young children who desire someone to protect them and feel small and vulnerable in this world. Hiding my symptoms has caused even more stress. Because of this, I am now receiving some counseling at a local mental health clinic.
On a brighter note, all that I have been through as a D.I.D. the system has made me more understanding of others and more creative. In fact, some of my artwork is based on Webster's.
