I think I would have a little revenge on this person who spoke the secret. Outing as multiple is much the same as crossing rushing water through slippery rock, and I am not certain there is a shore. It is strange to me how they would reject you and yours, and to act with such regard for manipulation. It is curious, the giving of one's word in friendship, when such words are often broken by their own. I apologize for it being thus.

I am so mad for what these people have done to all of you.
I believe strongly that we multiples should push for acceptance.
Most people on this earth, I think, know two views of multiplicity: Sybil as the first, and cliché horror-film serial killers as the second.
There are hardly any positive representations of multiplicity out there.
It saddens me that people would aim to take away your own personhood - and I could cry from frustration that they would pin scarlet labels to your chest: "delusional, dangerous, daydreams".
It was so very brave of you to open yourselves to these people.
It horrifies me how they have reacted.
We multiples should not have to masquerade as singletons: we deserve to live, to love, to parent, to teach, to be free and to really be ourselves.
It's hardly living to play as one under a blank face and incorrect name.
I truly respect your courage and sincerely hope in the future your honesty will be accepted with kindness instead of cruelty.
In Light and Love,
Linn
Life is totally sucky this way. It's a sh*t ratio for who will accept us as an uncloseted multiple. It's unfair and bullsh*t. We've lost a couple friends by coming "out of the closet". I'll admit I was reduced to a sniveling mess for a few days. It totally sucks! But people are dickwad f*ckwit idiots sometimes. Even so, pretending to be a singlet to pass through life is maybe even more dangerous than facing rejection. It's really tiring. After a handful of successes and buckets of failures in terms of coming out DID it's my lesson to prepare for the worst but hope for the best when you come out. Maybe some of these people's sh*tty ignorance will shrink in time. I have a friend I'll call Bean and I worked up to telling her because my flat-out "Hey so guess who is Multiple?" went over horribly. I started with "I hear voices in my head". A few months later "These voices have names and ages and likes and dislikes" and a few months later "Also you've met some of them and they'd like to know you separately, kaythanksbye" and she totally grooved with it. Which was WAY different from when I said "YO! Bean! I'm not (body's name) - I'm Cleo and you've never met (the body's name) because they don't exist! I'm multiple!" which freaked her out. She asked lots of questions later and I guess if you start with the basics like fights over how Kitty wants frosted flakes but Jade wants yoghurt and Lola wants to wear boots but Gem wants to wear sneakers, people tend to think "Ohh- not spooky". Some people have little minds that can't fit DID into their brainspace as something true or not delusional. It's hard not to hate them for it, but then it's really a case of their foolishness, so I just pity them instead. Some people just can't get it, just like some people can't handle Differential Equations or advanced physics. Give yourselves time to let off some steam about this. These people were really sh*tty to all of you and I'd want to FLIP OUT which wouldn't help the case at all. Take some time to grieve or beat the sh*t out of something (hopefully non-living) and relax and work out all the emotions. I am really sorry they were such f*cking idiots! And we hope school goes well. This alternative sounds okay but I wish people weren't morons so you could just be yourselves and not have to quarantine. You should pick what you want, and Jeff’s mom can s*ck it. At least you aren’t saying “F*ck school, I am going to be a traveling electric harmonica player in a 80s-dance-party-meets-folk band and in my spare time, invent a line of waterproof motorized paper airplanes” because those are basically two hopeless careers, but switching majors? Not really on the same arena. Lady needs a reality check. I can NOT believe I am going to say this, but in the words of Hannah Montana: "Life is what you make it. So let's make it rock." You all are great! Anyone who is giving you crap is mental.
