I wish when one of my alters came out during a pap exam my doctor would have known and informed me so I could have got the help I needed so many years ago.I wish my teachers would have known when I was in kindergarten and got me the help I needed then.It just doesn't work that way,that's just not reality.Maybe in a perfect world,but it's just not how it is or how it works.
Yes, I agree, all good points. I too had extreme behavior in school and despite having many interventions, social workers, therapists, suspensions, expulsions and multiple incidence reports not a single person ever noticed the dissociation, switching and alters for what they were. Any records were kept about behavioral incidences and not emotional states.
