Re: Everything you wanted to know about DID/multi, but were afraid to ask.

Is there any media that has gotten it RIGHT? I remember watching Sybil, which has a big "Based on a true story" in front of it, and thinking "Soooo probably wildly inaccurate then?" That little actress was terrific though.

Enh, kinda depends on what 'getting it right' means. For instance, some of the 'classic' multi stories are decently accurate; my problem with them is they all tell the SAME story, of horrible trauma, constant fighting, and miraculous save by a saintly therapist (who often is writing the book). I am embarrassingly WAY out of date on Sybil, haven't read it in probably a decade, so can't speak well on it.

Madison Clell's Cuckoo comic is a pretty decent autobiographical depiction of multi in comics, though it's definitely the trauma journey. As far as works written by singlets, Matt Ruff's Set This House in Order is pretty much the only work of multi fiction I didn't scream into my pillow about. (It helps that there are TWO multiples in it, and one of them has already mostly gotten their act together, so they aren't just going through the same old story I described above.)
