The thing is, none of the parts that have revealed themselves have claimed this role and it doesnt feel like any of them are the ones either. So I am wondering if i have an alter whose role it was to keep us alive or was it just me? Does anybody else have an alter who fulfilled this role? Am I am making sense?

Hi..everyone is different and the way things work for them...for me i believe i am one of the parts who wanted to live..after years of wanting to die as a kid...and worked hard to stay alive as a kid and an adult..it was not this big choice to do this but we would always get to a hosp or to a t for a phone call..but there were others who were not sui as well. for whatever reason we did not sui and we are very grateful now that things are a great deal better...it could very well be you who helped out and it could be others. for me and my parts..it is not always laid out so neatly who did what and when..even for my own part in things...it is a puzzle that we constantly are solving and is ongoing..i dont know if this help any...
