What was that like for you?

Oh, it was wonderful.

It was terrifying and wonderful all at once.

So when we walked into the court and sat down ready to start to testify, every one of my alters rocked up to take the oath.

We all swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

And then we sat down, we were ready.

And when the prosecutor started asking questions, I'm hearing internally, oh, yeah, that's your up.

You go answer that question.

And hang on, you're going to need more details.

You go.

And it was like all my alters were literally moving inside me to be there to provide their information with the least amount of time delay that we could manage.

So if they asked the question, the answer came instantly.

We didn't have to sit there and think about it because whoever lived it just came in and answered.

So the first altar that rocks up is symphony.

And everybody backs up behind Symphony, ready to pass her information, comfort her, sing for her if things get tricky.

The whole system was in that courtroom.

And when we testified...

Symphony didn't testify to the judge and she didn't testify to the prosecutor or dad's lawyer.

She stared straight at dad and she testified directly to him.

Hey, Ruby, I'm Symphony.
