Triggers vary. Different triggers bring out different alters. From what I know:

- Megan will front when I have work or chores piling up to the point where I'm not sure where to begin. The stress attached to that brings her out. I lose a lot of time with her, and remember almost nothing. When I come to, everything's done. It makes the time loss worth it.

- Shara comes through when i've been triggered when a memory of our abuse pops into my head, or if I hear a child scream, or any outside trigger that reminds me of that time. Or if my mother or anyone shouts at me.

-Layla is our sexualized alter, and fronts when there's a sex scene on tv or anything to do with intimacy.

-jillian is our angry one, and usually fronts with a wrath when she hears of something she dislikes on the news- especially if it's abuse related. It doesn't matter if it's a person that's been hurt, or an animal.

-Allison, our little fronts when there's cartoons, or when she wants to play with the dog, or I feel too safe around an adult.

-Isabelle. She's there for us when Shara's temper had messed things up. Isabelle steps in to negotiate or calm the situation.

- Brian. When there's heavy lifting involved. That's what Isabelle tells me.
