@XplodingNarwhal Jeremy Messersmith - "A Girl, a Boy, and a Graveyard"

And by characters, I meant letters allowed in the comment. >.<

As someone with DID since childhood and a researcher in this field, this show bothers me. Awesome music though...I adore Jeremy Messersmith and was actually a little saddened to see it attached to this. A meeting like that is unlikely. My fragments write to our therapist. Anything beyond that, like contracts, screams of integration (a dirty word for us) and triggers suicidal alters. However, sometimes 2 or more come out together. I don't have enough characters to explain...It's complicated.

i just can't stop watching this scene. i think it's the most powerful in the whole series.

[BluePeaks96]

best scene ever.

[livethechoice805]

just finished watching this series. This is easily my favorite moment, and I think the most powerful scene of the whole series

@jaraandrew100 To an extent it is, it would take a lot of self control - and certain circumstances. In DID there can be an alter (sometimes multiple) that take control and tell the others when they can and cannot take control of the body. I don't remember reading any documented cases of this scenario happening but I'm sure that with enough will and control Tara could take over that role. The rest would just be a matter of hallucination.

...please save this show.

This show needs to keep on going....fuck #weeds

[YogiCalvin]

A real breakthrough, being able to exert dominance and control over the alters.

Yet there a bittersweet feeling in this triumphant scenario.

The exhaustion and helplessness on her face is heartbreaking.

Felt kinda sad the sister is distancing herself from Tara.

After all, she was able to raise 2 kids despite her fluctuating conditions.

(with help from the loving husband of course)
