Multiple Personalities Support Group
Dissociative identity disorder is a diagnosis described as the existence in an individual of two or more distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. At least two of these personalities are considered to routinely take control of the individual's behavior, and there is also some associated memory loss,...

We are confused about how some of you or should we just ask how do you view your littles? Our littles are truly young children and do not have adult capabilities. That includes in how they feel, think and respond to situations. Sometimes they get us in a pickle with what they do. Sometimes it is funny and sometimes it is not. But they ARE CHILDREN. We treat them as such by parenting them with love and understanding. If someone yells at them or scares them then we react like any parent would if someone was doing that to their child. Are we different in this approach. We guess we are bringing this up because we do not understand why an adult would intentionally scare or threaten children as was done in the DID littles group. Do people here think we are over reacting by considering our littles as our children?

I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
Currently we have system set up where a protector alter jumps in and removes the child from the situation immediately which is fine, but we are working on the 2nd half-which is getting the child to a nurturing alter for parenting/calming etc...
We hope soon to be at the point you are at.
We also are very perplexed by the post in the littles room...not only why someone would speak to a child that way, but even on the most basic level, why would one human to another human, Especially here.
Some of my littles call me Mom while some of the older ones prefer to call me Sis instead.

Treating our inside littles with love and respect is mandatory in my book because they have gone through terrible experiences and they need that extra love and care in their lives.
I am not co-conscious with my alters, I do hear them talking sometimes, and I feel when they are close. Because I do not feel I can parent them like this I have asked some of the protectors (who no longer harm the body) to take care of the children - give the littles the parents they wanted to have. So far five have been parenting inside and the littles really love them.
I do not think you are over-reacting! I think you are doing what you feel you need to do for your littles and I believe your littles will be better off for it! Making that decision is awesome! It's just as responsible as being a parent of outside children. They are in two different places but they both need the same things.

We really liked what you said about the kids being in two different places but needing the same things.
When we went to a treatment place in 1995, I was able to finally deal with other people's littles. Seeing such innocence in those eyes, it's still one of those things that makes me sad. I won't get on a soapbox, but I just can not understand how anyone could hurt a child.
After seeing littles in another multiple and going home to my kids, I knew there was absolutely no difference - the children needed to be loved and nurtured regardless of where they were and what their circumstances. Sometimes it was more difficult with little because they would show up at times that may not have been ideal, whereas I could control where my outside children could be.
Sorry to go off like that, rambling... we love children - we'd have had 30 or 40 if we could, and we wanted to adopt after marrying Cameron, but things didn't come together for that to happen. I will always be an advocate for children - inside and out.
Really, I am stopping now :-)

My littles are my children
