Hey guys, is this like a 'teenage alter' place? If so, how do you like start?

Gothika (mid-teens) - One in the Albion System

Hi Gothika, yeah its a place where the teen parts can talk about stuff with other teen parts.

Cody it sounds like you're gonna have a really nice camping trip. I hope you all have a lot of fun and can relax and unwind and everything.

We used to go camping a lot, but its been a long long time since we stopped. No jaguars around us, but we saw a bear once and there were lots of mooses and wolves.

Hi Gothika,

Welcome to the teen thread!

Hi,

We're going to try to unwind but we're wound SO tight lately I don't if that's even possible. We're at one of those stupid f-ing places in T where it just hurts. AND our T is leaving town for 3 months! Nobody's fault (except the stupid f-ing monster who did this to us). We're all trying. Host and Colin are getting the food together after work and we'll go tomorrow morning - SUPER early I don't know what the wifi situation will be out there so if you don't hear from us don't freak ok?

Cody

Thanks guys! I'm not out fronting very often, but when I am I'll call in and say hello.

Hi Damien! Hi Gothika!

It's always great to have more people posting! It's not supposed to be the Cody & Sasha show!

Hey Cody, I hope you CAN unwind and relax. You guys deserve to have a really great time! I'm sorry therapy has been so hard lately. Maybe you guys are pushing yourselves harder because the T is going to be gone?

And I hope you can post from there!!

Hi everyone,

We're here reading even if we're not posting. A lot going on inside our system.

MD Teens

Back when the body was actually around my age (16), I don't think I ever fronted. I was mostly just inside and influencing now and then. We are pretty sure I was the 'innocent happy teen' who was separated from the depressed nihilistic troubled kid that the outside world knew. But I influenced some things and I remember observing other things.

Anyways. Outwardly we seemed to come from the 'ideal family' situation. Tho a lot of that was BS cos our mum was just big on appearances. Our BF's parents were divorced and he had a really rough home situation, like the obviously rough kind, not the hidden rough kind.

He lived with his dad but his dad travelled a lot for work. So where we seemed to have loving caring very overprotective parents, he seemed to have nobody at all. For like, weeks at a time, he had no adult supervision at all. His dad would come home on weekends to fill up the fridge with groceries and pay the bills, then vanish again.

So our BF basically was a teen who had a house to himself and food provided, but no adult supervision, no adult guidance, and no adult care. Obviously, his house was Party Central and things got kinda wild there at times.

But I think deep down our BF really needed someone to look after him, needed someone to care about him. I think that's part of why we got together - our annoyingly overprotective parents with their 'perfect family' stuff, gave the impression that we were all stable and good. (Of course our parents hated him cos he was so wild and unruly and they were positive he'd be a bad influence lol. So they were never very nice to him and didn't want him around.)

Anyways I'm sharing all this because... now I feel like I'm in his position.

I've got this home here, and money to buy groceries. The only difference is I have the fulltime grownup job so I pay the bills etc. But basicaly its the same. Except this isn't party central cos I have no friends, lol.

But... sorry this is so wordy. It's just, I'm feeling like I've got no adult guidance, no grownup to care and tell me what to do and waht not to do.

I'm like, the teen who's parents have gone away and left her with a house and money and it's fun sometimes but it's also lonely and empty and confusing.

I dunno where I'm going with this. It felt like a thing for the teen thread tho. Maybe not. I guess there's not so many systems around where a teen is the 'host' (don't like that word tho) and there's just very little in the way of adults around to help?

MD Teens your system is mostly young people too, do you have stuff like this going on?

Sorry for rambling and all.

Hi V2,

We hear you. Different background, but similar feelings in the present. And it's why none of our adults feel like adults. Many of us, especially the trauma-holders and emotional ones, either want to function but feel totally clueless, or want to run away and curl up like a hedgehog and pretend we don't exist. Or both.

Anyone else feel similar? Anyone have any ideas on how to feel better about ourselves and our life?

Hey guys, it's me Gothika again, I'm out for the day again! (DID is so weird...)

I relate to you guys as I co host with a bunch, and so have to do adult stuff but only once every week or so. It's hard to 'behave' but at least I've got the rules and guidance set by the other guys. There are 11 other co-hosts, and only three of us are teens.

I kinda just 'roll with it' and not try to think too much, otherwise I get pretty stressed. And really, I don't want to think too much.

I can see that I've taken a lot from my Tribe to help with spirituality, meaning and all that. I'd deffo say to read stuff too, and watch movies. You can get guidance from them.

What is it that you guys want to do? I mean, if you could do anything?
