Well, after reading the sites I came to my own conclusion...for now. Those seem to change. lol But, this is something that for the time being most of Us seem to agree on.
Perhaps it's just that there is something where a person is more prone to being a multiple. For each one it may take something to cause them to split and what that is (ie. how "traumatic") depends on the individual. It's not a matter of how strong a person is or isn't, but rather how their unique mind works. As human beings we are all unique. We all handle things differently. So, while there are multiples who split because of something extreme, there are probably also those who split because of something less extreme or perhaps not even all that bad (to the outside observer).
The way I've come to view it is this: I probably split for a reason and whatever that reason was it was probably to help me in some way. Therefore being a multiple is a good thing. At least at its basic principles. Whether or not it continues to be a good thing depends on myself and my alters.
Right now I'm not very worried about the hows and whys. Just curious...as I tend to be.
