I Am WE: My Life with Multiple Personalities

I Am WE: My Life with Multiple Personalities

Many people have secrets they are fearful to share with those who love them. Christine Pattillo was one of those peopleâ€”except instead of just one secret, she had many.

As long as Christine could remember, she lived with Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). At times she shared her life with up to six alternate personalities, yet she masqueraded as an active and happy high school student, a successful career woman, and a wife of fifteen years. But she kept her secret hidden from everyone around her, including her own husband. It wasnâ€™t until the age of forty-one and after ten years of counseling that she finally managed to utter the seven most difficult words of her life: â€œThere is more than one of me.â€

Coming out about MPD was terrifying. Was her husband going to leave her? How was she going to tell her mother, siblings, and friends? How would people judge her? And how would she and the alters live day to day out in the open, each carving out their own quality time? How would they all integrate in society? What happens when one of the alters wants to have a baby of her own? And a suicidal one wants to destroy them all?

In this fascinating memoir, Christine shares her incredible journey of life with MPD. Readers come to know all of the alters (Hope, SHE, Rim, Tristan, Q, Chrissy, and Cyndi) as the unique and extraordinary individuals they are. We also hear from Christineâ€™s husband, family, friends, and therapist, who relate firsthand the joys and challenges of living with MPD.

I Am WE dispels many common, often misguided conceptions about MPD. While theories about the condition abound, none are more qualified to discuss it than those living it. Join Christine and her family as they share their highs and lows, triumphs and losses, and above all the love they have for one other.
