May trigger  Reaching out
Hey everyone, th is is my first post outside the intro and it's a hefty one. We are currently in an unsafe environment, mind it's not always unsafe but my Alters, are either scared or mad at my husband. They are pressuring me to leave him and if I don't leave then they will take over and put me away for a while. Also I'm being pushed by my mother to leave as well. The hard part is not wanting to leave because I hope that it gets better, but knowing that it maybe what I have to do. It's been hard talking to others in my life about my situation, we get all panicky inside and outside. I wish it was just so simple but it's not. I've been switching a lot and I've been getting journal entries from them some are down right mad and yelling at me and others her and plead with me...well I don't know what to say other then we are very conflicted or maybe I am the one more conflicted then they are.

RE: Reaching out
Hi Collectively Us. Sorry you are going through this. Agree with Nats. Some should be left, others never change. Isthereafriendorsomeone you rely on the be honest with you? Who you trust to be honest with you? Do you have a T?And the biggest question: Are you safe if you stay? It is a difficult decision for anybody. I know people who have been through this. If you left where would you go?

RE: Reaching out
We are leaving cause it's not safe anymore. They are angry or scared because he broke promises to us about never hurting us, that he would protect us, and not makes us do things we didn't want to do. So Sunday night I'm being picked up while he is at work and brought to a safe house. Until then it's being safe and getting things packed.i feel like I'm being bad for leaving but I know it's the right thing to do. Thank you for being there.

RE: Reaching out
It sounds like leaving is a good idea. Of course it is hard, though. I think that change is hard ... and for those of us who struggle just to maintain homeostasis among ourselves, I think that change is extra scary.

Sending you lots of good vibes.

RE: Reaching out
I think it would be expected that one would be scared, multie or not. I am glad you are in a safe place as is everyone here I am sure. You deserve to be safe, Make a mantra something like that so you remember to keep yourself safe!
