I've been raising four children for 13 years by myself as a multiple. Between my more evolved selves and my guides, there seems to be a system in place that prioritizes caring for the children of my body. Even in the middle of a severe flashback or switch, if one of my outside kids shows up, there is this automatic re-orienting response that puts someone out front who knows how to deal.
I used to worry alot about the safety of my children and Our ability to care for them... but this has happened enough that I trust it.
I read something written by a collective once that explained that DID is one of the least harmful (to self and others) disorders out there. The fact that we developed it in the first place says something profound about our commitment to functionality and our attitude about harming others. I'm guessing that your system has a system of checks and balances... ask around inside and see what kind of answers you get.
