To every system, multiple, person with DID/DDNOS or a related condition that have been distressed over the movie Split:

• I’m sorry this movie was made and that it isn’t getting more backlash or being stopped. You deserve to hear an apology from those who created and supported it, and since you won’t, here is at least one from me instead.
• You are not a monster. You are not dangerous. You are not more likely to be violent or hurtful than singlets. You are not worse than singlets in any way.
• This still applies just as much if you have violent intrusive thoughts.
• If you are feeling thoughts of wishing you weren’t a system right now, that’s ok. You aren’t betraying anyone. It’s really hard to be a system in a society that demonizes it like this, and it’s okay to have mixed feelings about something so complicated, or even not want to be involved in it at all.
• If you are proud to be a system and just wish it would be respected and treated fairly, that is absolutely okay too. If you never want to integrate and wish people would accommodate you as you are, that’s okay. You deserve to be accommodated without being forced to alter fundamental or considerable parts of yourself you don’t want to.
• If your multiplicity doesn’t look anything like it does in media, that doesn’t mean you are fake. The media is fake, and there are as many ways to be multiple as there are systems.
• If you remember or know about trauma that caused you to become dissociative, you’re good. If you don’t remember any trauma but you’re still dissociative and not sure why or how, you’re good.
• I love you. My inbox is open.
