Did @ MindSay 
you
I have Dissociative Identity Disorder. It used to be called Multiple Personality and because of the popular movies and books, it has been dramatized and there are a whole lot of people who don't believe in it. It is in the DSM IV though and there are a lot of people and doctors who know it is very real. It is extremely rare, you could say the rarest psychological diagnosis. It is developed in childhood and can continue into adulthood if the abuse is still happening. It is only found in people who have survived extreme abuse and torture. Not every child who is severely abused developed DID. There is still a lot of research to be done, as with any disorder, but even more so because it is so rare. A lot of people who have DID can function normally and do not need treatment but most cases do need intense therapy.
What happens is that a child can make it so the abuse is not happening to them, that it is happening to someone else. That part then takes over when the abuse happens. When it becomes too difficult for that part, then another part is formed. Different parts are created for different survival reasons and even tasks. This can be pretty convenient and also can also be very disrupting.
The different parts are parts of the entire person. However since the parts are created for specific purposes, the parts can be different ages, ways of talking,habits, energetic vs fatigue, sexes, nationality, and other things as well.
I wanted to warn the people who read this in case it gets really confusing, and it will. I even get really confused. I am open to any and all questions

Alright, if you haven't gotten it by now, you deserve to have the book spoiled for you. Here goes.
I was initially extremely excited for Breaking Dawn. Being a newcomer to the Twilight series (beginning of July), my wait wasn't as long as many Twilighters', but I am just as disappointed as I'm sure many of them were.
I got Twilight on a whim--we were at Barnes & Noble, I had just finished a book and needed something to read, Twilight caught my eye (the 10% off sticker certainly helped), and I had heard it was a good book, so I bought for my upcoming vacation the next week. Later that day, I was bored, so I decided it wouldn't hurt to start reading--the book /was/ 498 pages, after all. There was no way I'd actually finish that before we left. I read. And read. And read. And read some more. Before I knew it, I was on page 50. Then page 100. I finally had to cut myself off at page 150 because I had just bought the book, I didn't want to finish it so quickly! For the next three days, I read for hours at a time.
The day before our vacation, I picked up New Moon, because I was sure I would end up finishing Twilight either that day or the next, no matter how hard I tried to supress my desire, my need, to find out what would happen between Bella and Edward. These characters had become so real to me, especially Bella, because I (as well as many other teenage girls) could see a little of myself in her, minus the bagging-the-hot-vampire gene. I ended up finishing Twilight on my way down to North Carolina, and picked up New Moon without skipping a beat. For the rest of the week, I was constantly in my room, reading for hours on end. I ended up getting Eclipse at a specially requested Wal-Mart stop--I couldn't risk finishing New Moon and NOT having Eclipse to begin reading immediately after.
To save an already long story from being even longer, I ended up finishing Eclipse fairly quickly, leaving my mind intently focused on August 2, the release of Breaking Dawn.
As soon as I got home, I went to Barnes & Noble to preorder my copy--I couldn't risk going later and not getting one. The thought of being unable to be immersed in Edward and Bella's world when the book was out there for everyone else to read was not an option. For two weeks, I counted down the days to the book release party (looking up Twilight movie info and getting my friend Sarah and my mom hooked on the series to keep myself occupied). Finally, the day was here.
Sarah and I went to Barnes & Noble and waited with 200+ other people for Breaking Dawn. Finally, after two weeks of waiting (how all you people who bought Eclipse as soon as it came out were able to deal, I will never know), I would find out how the saga would end. Everything would fall into place.
But it didn't.
Here is where my real rant will begin. (It will only be a partial rant, because I have just finished Book 2, Jacob's story, and am only halfway through the book, but I had to vent before I read anymore) As I started to read, something felt different...not right. I kept reading through the wedding, and the honeymoon, and still, the book felt like it was disconnected from the rest of the series. Like it didn't quite fit in with the tone of the other books. And then it happened--I saw it coming from the time she woke up crying for no reason--Bella got pregnant.
Now, this idea seriously disturbed me, because it just didn't feel right. I mean...it's /Edward and Bella/. They have this special kind of love, a love so strong that most people never feel about anyone. They love each other on a level that is almost inconceivable to other people. Bella was supposed to turn into a vampire in some sort of crazy turn of events that invloved the Volturi or some other crazy mythical creature (deranged unicorn, anyone?) after her. But no. She gets pregnant.
To make matters worse, she gets pregnant and doesn't freak out. And because of her freaky little dreams (seriously, all of her dreams are so...vivid. who really has dreams like that? dreams that actually mean something?) where she protects the creepy little vampire toddler (talk about terrible twos...) who kills everyone she loves. I just don't get it.
Then, for some reason unknown to the rest of the sane universe, she asks Rosalie to help her. Knowing that Rosalie never got to have kids. Knowing that Rosalie wants a chile more than anything else in the entire world. I mean, come on. This was bound to not end well.
So, as if all of that wasn't weird enough, the story just stops. And you come to 'Book 2: Jacob'. Now I don't know how all of you felt about New Moon, but I thought parts of it were slow, so I was NOT looking forward to 222 pages of Jacob's point of view. (Besides, Jacob was already halfway on my bad side for kissing Bella with no permission in Eclipse. Grrr.)
As it turns out, I actually LIKED Jacob's point of view. That whole part of the book made me fall in love with Seth, and really made me feel for Jacob. As I read, I liked Jacob more and more. I was surprised to find that I was actually beginning to like the book. But then pregnant Bella reared her ugly head.
Now, I have loved Bella since the very first line of the very first book. Like I've said before, she's such a relatable character, which is one of the things that sucks you in and keeps you reading. I have never not liked her, unlike most Edward Cullen fangirls, who hate her because she gets the fictional love of their lives. But reading that first part, and every part after that, where she talks about that stupid creature inside her...I just wanted to slap her across the face. When she had first found out she was pregnant, she said this:
"From that first little touch, the whole world had shifted. Where before there was just one thing I could not live without, now there were two." (Chapter 7, page 132)
Now, I don't know what happened between this quote and the scene Jacob walks in on when he first goes to attack the Cullens, but she certainly didn't care about hurting ANYONE. She's puking and has these huge bruises and STILL wants to keep the damn thing. She wouldn't listen to Carlisle, or even Edward, the supposed love of her life, who she "[can] not live without", yet is willing to absolutely tear apart to have the stupid thing. Then she has to drink blood for it, which is disgusting in itself. Even later when it starts to get really big...it breaks her RIB and she just grins and bears it because she just "loves" it. UGH. Stephenie Meyer turned Bella from a loveable awkward clumsy teenager into some sort of a martyr who is willing to do whatever it takes and hurt whoever she has to hurt to have this...creature that will probably end up killing her anyway. It just doesn't make sense!
AND to make matters worse, the whole scene where they're taking the thing out of her is disturbing, creepy, and just plain scary.
At this point, I don't think I'm making any sense because I'm typing the thoughts as they're coming out of my head.
OH and, as if the whole storyline wasn't creepy enough, Jacob leaves in a fit of rage because Bella is "dead" and Edward is turning her into a vampire and Jacob thinks it's useless and he decides he's going to go kill the source of all his pain and RIGHT as he's getting ready to spring, he imprints on "Renesmee." BAM! end of book 2. What. The. F&*^*(^&*^*#&^$*&@%^#&%@?!?!?!?! It doesn't make sense and it's just plain weird. Was Stephenie on CRACK when she was writing this book? I mean...I do understand. She loves the characters more than anyone. Okay. She was under a lot of pressure to make the end of this saga really epic and good and amazing. But really? Jacob, Bella's best friend who is in love with her but will never get her falls in love with her half vampire, half human newborn daughter. That's just screwed up.
I mean, Stephenie seriously wouldn't let Jacob catch a break. As if it wasn't hard enough on him to go to her wedding just for Bella's happiness, he now has to find out and deal with the fact that she's pregnant with this creepy little thing that will most likely kill her, leave his wolf family to protect her, see her pregnant and all smiley at him every day, let her talk to him and joke with him, watch her get sliced open and almost eaten by a crazed vampire obsessed with becoming a mother vicariously through Bella, watch her literally DIE, watch Edward try to save her by biting her all over and turning her into a vampire, and finally, the piece de resistance, fall in love with her newborn half human, half vampire daughter. If that;s not a good Jerry Springer episode, I don't know what is.
Alright, I've done enough blabbering/ranting for one night, sorry it probably didn't make any sense, I just had to get some stuff out of my head. I'm seriously disappointed with the book so far...the second half BETTER be better than this. This is NOT how it was supposed to end.
They are all crazy. OK so I left off with SNAP,CRACKLE,PoP. Well Mr. Howard came home 2am blaring music, slamming doors and screaming at the top of his lungs. How sad, but I was growing use to this and decided to simply turn the tv up and let him be. Well you know that saying let laying dogs lay or do unto others as you would have them do unto you, Mr. Howard missed that class. am and he decides to start pointing a flashlight towards my bedroom and screaming the f-word at he top of his lungs....can you say 911. I had no choice in calling now that Smokey is trying to break through the window and the rest of the house is awake. Officers arrive and he says Oh was it too loud, she could have asked me to turn it down. The officers go off on him and tell him he must be missing screws. He then makes the excuse that he has a friend in the room...Let me hurry this up and get to the crazy part. So earlier in the day the other roommate gave me screws and nails in driveway right...not all of them. Mr Howard is now screaming that he had the flashlight because he had a flat...I prayed God please please please don’t allow me to laugh. The other roommate swept the nails over into Mr. Howards part of the driveway and you really did get a snap crackle pop.
Once again they left without arresting Mr. Howard but I followed them to the station to file harassment charges. I go back to the station this tuesday to file civil complain for non-payment of rent,emotional distress and destruction of property. I wont stoop to his level but my mother did not raise a fool so he will be served while he is here and if the debt is not settled it gos against his drivers license.
This is an example of JUST SAY NO
Why did the chicken cross the road?
------
DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.
OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...
ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.
JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ........ reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY :
Where's my gun?
AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
