We try to "present as a whole" That's been our aim for around ten years. Work together making compromises so we can present as a whole with the aim of making our life more full and productive.
This is not maintainable long term unless you address and deal with trauma. We maintained it until we came here, because Rose woke up the twins and the system started to collapse and then we ended up in hospital.
We thought we could work together and present as whole and it'd be enough. Which it was for a number of years but getting into a relationship where our bf spotted we were different at different times caused a melt down. We got past that but then life events with our outside children and parents forced trauma to the forefront and that was hospital.

Working as a whole without dealing with trauma can work but get too triggered and it breaks down quite easily.
Yeah, I didn't meant to imply that living multiple, cooperatively, was apart from facing and dealing with trauma. THAT, imho, must happen- regardless of what the future holds as far as integration or fusion (partial, to fewer but still multiple, or to single-like unity).
That is a MUST for each with trauma to be healthy individually- which is a must, imho, for the whole of us to be healthy.
