Wow, such an amazing read!
> A few hours after she first told me, I took some time to read up on dissociative identity disorder.
Shouldn't he have read up on DID in detail when she first told him about rather than when the episode happened? Seeing this mid-way through the event makes it seem like he didn't really do his homework beforehand.
> at its worst, she said, she would not only struggle to identify who she was, but even what she was; unable to process the concept of her own humanity.
This is a really interesting state to study; not knowing your own humanity. Are there any good references to DID that one without prior knowledge can read?
EDIT: Thanks everyone for clarifying. I'm not sure why the down votes though, it was genuine confusion.
- noazark 12y agoI believe that, "A few hours after she first told me", refers to the conversation around Christmas, 4 months before the DID episode occurred.
- kbenson 12y agoI think he meant first told him, that Christmas morning. He's just using that as a lead-in to discussing some specifics of the illness at a later point in the story.
- MrJagil 12y agoRegarding your first point, judging from the "after she first told me" part, I think he did. Though i agree, it was weird to jump in time like that.

- jonalmeida 12y agoA comment should suffice in that case, shouldn't it?
