In a perfect world, every member of a system would have equal responsibility. In a trauma induced system, for many it is not only impractical, but impossible. Not because anyone shirks their duty, but because for some their duty does not entail making decisions.
Why assume that just because a person in a system came to be as a result of trauma or abuse, it means they're necessarily different from people who came to be in other ways and can't be expected to handle the same responsibilities? Even if someone started out as a classic 'fragment' type of person, this doesn't put a permanent cap on their ability to expand, develop a more complex self, and learn and take on responsibilities they may once have been incapable of. Not all trauma-induced systems fit the profile you describe.
