I decided to write out some ground rules for my alters. I wasn't being mean, just having boundaries. 1. It's unacceptable to embarrass me publicly 2. You cannot throw temper tantrums and get the police called on me 3. You cannot try to seduce men outside of walgreens. 4. You cannot try to sabotage or hurt me in any way. 5. You must listen to authority (nurses, doctors, police, etc)

Does this sound too demanding? I am just going through a lot with them right now, and soon I head for treatment, but they need to know boundaries in order to respect the nurses and doctors and therapists at the treatment center in Florida.

It sounds like a great idea...

We said the samething in high school, but we were all in agreement because we was all scared, but.....

By putting a cap on it and staying hidden, we weren't seen for how we really are and never received the proper attention (or any attention). I regret that we hid our condition and how we was for so long, maybe we would've got fixed 30 years ago? Idk.

Besides, today, everyone will laugh at anyone trying to impose rules on us, like anyone in our system is the boss! lol

It works better if we ask or put a request in to be voted on. Good luck.

Sounds reasonable and healthy. I've done something similar.

We have rules that not everyone agrees with but the bottom line is that none of us want to end up in a hospital. None of us want to be seen, and all of know that if we act out too much we will be seen and end up in a hospital. We do slip every now and than but not badly. And the three of us who are mostly in charge of things like working, driving, doctors and such, remind us why we are going by the rules. We couldn't end up in a hospital. So we go by the rules. I think your system can do it too.
