Well at least there is a little in there now. Though we aren't really sure at this point if it's a kid or an animal (or poncho goblin). At any rate that made our littles feel better.
I still am uncomfortable with how open each alter is with just tossing their names out there. To me, this seems really unrealistic. But otherwise I have to say I am still planning on watching more. We have found a few of the episodes to be triggering. I think that Showtime might want to put a trigger warning at the beginning, like if you have DID, you might to ask your therapist before you watch this show or have someone safe with you, whatever. I was not actually expecting to be triggered at this point. We have been through most of our memory work and are coming out to the other side. I myself am also the main protector of our system, so didn't really think it would be an issue. However, one scene did really trigger me and got me so ticked off I almost exploded. I'm ok now, but I just wasn't prepared for that. It hasn't happened since because now I/We are ready so we are more careful.
I guess I was expecting United States of Tara to be a stupid comedy that was totally unrealistic and made mock of DID. Instead it turns out to be a drama that covers a small part of the complexity of this condition.

I got triggered by Dr. Ocean just up and announcing she was terminating with Tara. Actually, just reading the blurb about the episode scared me before I even watched it. No wonder Gimmee came out.
