Multiple Personal disorder
"You shouldn't ask yourself if you are Multiple or not, but you should ask yourself to which extention you are"
In serious cases of abuse the child may develope MPD -Multiple Personal disorder. A human being with MPD has two or several 'persons' within the same body of which each and everyone of them seem to live their own lives. Often these personalities are so well apart from each other that they don't know of the other personalities at all. Why this happens is more easily understood if you imagine a child with a father who is warm and tender one second and hard and brutal the next. The little child can't bare to take this and develeops then different persons within itself to meet these different sides within the father. These persons within this little child are called alters. The alters may be two, or even a hundred or more. The alter being most visible to people around the child is called a hostpersonality. These alters have often different assignments. One may be the one cleaning the house while another is the artist or the one taking care of work or jsut being the one who is sad or joyful.
The alters may have a diffrent gender, color or sexual orientation than the hostperson or the body itself. Some of the victims of Ritual abuse have alters who are trained and manipulated by the abuser to 'work' for the abuser himself (herself). Multiple Personal disorder is not a sickness or a mental illness. You can't cure it. The only thing you can do is to try to integrate the alters.
The process of integration are devided into two groups depending on what you mean by 'integration': 1) When the alters learns to communicate, share memories and comminicate, they have in one meaning of the word been integrated into eachother. 2) When these alters goes a step further and through fusion becomes one.
Some people choose not to integrate their alters (integration meaning fusion) or they just do it partly. Being multiple you yourself choose what you find the best.
