Claritytoo, I understand why you felt you needed to pretend to be that alter, and yes, alters within me have done that at times, too.

What most springs to mind for me is child alters having to pretend to be adult alters in work situations where they have slipped out inappropriately. I totally get that the circumstances that lead to this happening for you (talking your sister in the middle of a therapy session). Your sister alter may have not come out to deal with the phone call because of the therapy situation, and I totally understand that the system as a whole *needed* the sister to remain unaware of your DID, and thus knowingly pretending to sound like her was the most appropriate thing to do in the situation. Here where I live and work that is not considered to be faking in the sense that it casts doubt over your DID and raises questions about you faking the whole thing. Here where I live and work that is considered to be a normal, creative way of protecting the DID system.
Ummm
I take it you know how my own therapist would react if ....I ...had answered the phone and done what Clarity too had done?

thats what my post was about....what my own treatment provider would have thought and done if ...I...had done this.

you might want to read a posters post closer before you choose to judge someone elses post as being judgemental and over the top.
