No alter, including the host is the "original/core," since there is no such thing. Different hosts can be in charge during various times in life, and new alters can be created if needed."

Is it saying that there is no one original? Has anyone heard of this before? Who am I working to be if there is no original?
in rare situations the person in which alters live with in have been do traumatized that the result is this person's brain protects their self by the body person retreating into a completely separate mental created world and creating alters that take over the job of being a host...(one in control most of the time to give the appearance of being normal. in other words the Apparently Normal Part (ANP)

it doesnt mean there is no original one, it just means the original one was so traumatized, for their protection, safety and survival they are rarely in control, rarely aware and the ANP is the one that acts/takes on the role of appearing to be the host.
