Welcome to Healing Our Lives! Ths tends to be a fairly quiet message board most of the time, but the people who are here are wonderful people.
I, personally, am a supporter, but I have many many friends who have DID, so I've certainly gained some understnding of it, even though I have not been there myself.
I am glad to hear that your father and step-mother are supportive...that is a wonderful asset for you. And I also think it's great that you are co-conscious, as most systems don't achieve this until much later in life. Then again, most don't even realize they have DID so young either, so you are definately at an advantage there.
I think that much of what you describe from your life is familiar for those with DID. I'm sorry that you were so hurt by your mom, but it sounds like you and she have done some healing in your relationship.
Please feel free to post here anytime you wish. I will admit that I can be slow to check in and approve posts, and for that I apologize...but if you can be patient with me, I think you will find some great support here.
