These views express a 16 year journey toward a greater understanding and love
of my friends who shared their multiplicity with me. This is a simply an
attempt at honoring their experiences and courage. I wanted to share what they
have taught me. Take Care,

Cool Quotes for Multiples!!!

1. Individuals who have endured the greatest suffering often develop the
greatest sensitivity and compassion.I do not consider multiplicity a disorder. Many multiples are highly intelligent and creative. Multiples are simply 'different' not disordered.

2. I've had the honor of knowing several multiples as friends. These courageous
souls continue to teach me a great deal. They are all highly intelligent,
sensitive people.

3. Multiplicity is an adaptation, not a disorder. Many multiples hold advanced
degrees and earn more than most "singles" do. In addition, survivors tend to
be a more sensitive and empathetic; something we can all learn from!
Consider this when addressing any reference to Multiples as having MPD/DID.
Courage and strength are not a disorder. Nor are suffering and pain a disorder

4. Friends and loved ones of multiples have essentially been given a very
special gift.

Those who have suffered severe abuse have, for whatever reason to grant you
their trust and love. Anyone who knows a survivor multiple would understand.
It is a great accomplishment to have befriended such individuals and such
relationships should be considered sacred by those who are fortunate enough to
know such individuals.

5. All multiples possess the unique ability to see potential problems and
challenges from many points of view. When encountering life's difficulties, a
multiple has the combines intelligence and resources of many unique
individuals; each with their own experiences and perspectives.

This encourages teamwork and the ability to compromise with others. This
exceptional ability often allows multiples to excel in their careers as well
as their personal relationships. Many multiples hold advanced degrees and earn
more than most "singles" do.

6. A multiple friend or loved one can offer the combined love and friendship of
all the individuals in their system. All they ask in return is an open mind
and a true heart!

7. Dear Friend(s),
Multiplicity is not a disorder, it is a unique adaptation to a difficult
world. Many multiples are highly intelligent and have exceptional
amounts of inner strength and creativity. We "singles" have much to learn from
these unique individuals. And they have much to teach us if we are willing to
learn...

8. I think we could use more diplomats and teachers who are multiples. Even a
highly intelligent person of great ability can only offer one perspective on
things. A multiple however, has the ability to offer many perspectives
simultaneously with less effort. These unique people are often under valued
and under utilized in our society. This will change in the future.

9. I feel that all multiples are highly creative people that have much to offer
us. The concept of multiples having a "disorder" simply because they are
multiples is both unfair and inaccurate.
Pain is not a disorder but sign that WE are human. Multiples have no apologies
to make to anyone. This "disorder" has produced some of the most
gentle,creative and intelligent people I have ever met.

10. All multiples should be proud of their great strength and courage. No
multiple should feel ashamed or embarrassed about being multiples.They all
possess a wonderful gift of hope and creativity.

11. Multiples are very unique and special people that deserve great respect and
love from the rest of us.It is amazing how strong and creative these souls
have become.I don`t like the term MPD, because it implies some disorder.
people who are multiples possess great survival skills and an incredible will
to live.That multiples became multiples is not a disorder but an evolution in
spirit...

We "singles" should love and admire our multiple friends, for they have much
to teach us.
