"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No"
"Tch, me either"

Having a child with multiple personality disorders and dissociative disorder I can tell you it’s a really, really tough to handle. It happens so abruptly that people believe it’s a tactic but it isn’t. Domestic violence in a home while children are extremely young is really harmful to their psyche. The fact that they will live with this for the rest of their lives sucks too, for they can never properly function in society.

This is from the Night Shift, season 1, episode 2, “Second Chances”

Landry, the psychiatrist, afterwards tells Anthony they’re going to arrest his mom. Anthony switches to another alter who is violent and tries to hurt Landry and the other doctors. It is implied Anthony’s alter has been the one hurting them.

Protecting an abuser no longer makes you a victim, you're an accessory and an enabler.

[mcvenne]

It's dissociative identity disorder (DID), not multiple personality disorder (MPD). The term was changed in the 80s. Those other "personalities" are called alters. In response to intense and repeated trauma, a child's personality will not coalesce into a singular personality. Instead, it will remain split into pieces separated by amnesia walls. Some alters will hold onto traumatic memories, while some won't. It's all done in order for the child to survive.

While this is clearly a case of abuse, I will say I had doctors say the same thing to me when I was 12 and fractured my thigh bone. That no way a fall caused it unless I fell down 5 flights of stairs or was hit by a car. All because they were trying to pressure me into saying my parents abused me. And while I was lying about falling I only did so because the 1st dozen times I told them I didn’t know how it happened they wouldn’t believe me.

Long story:
My grandpa thought I was being lazy when I said I didn’t want to walk back from the beach (several blocks from our rental house) because it hurt to walk. I have a high pain tolerance. So if something hurts me enough to speak about it, we can assume someone else would find the pain to be pretty unbearable. But I didn’t know this at the time. So he forced me to walk back in pain. He was a d!ck. My dad yelled at him later though and for the rest of the week I was more or less left alone. The island doesn’t have like a hospital. I would have to take a ferry to the mainland or if an emergency they can send a helicopter to come get you for a hefty fee. So we waited out the week. When we came back from vacation with my Dad’s family I told my mom about it. I was limping and clearly in a lot of pain. My mom was worried, because a year or so before this I had two screws put into my right hip’s growth plate because my growth plate slipped (a somewhat rare thing that occurs more in girls than boys). Basically I acted like I had a broken hip. So concerned this was happening in my left I was taken to my bone docs. There after several X-rays and stuff they discover I have a hairline fracture running almost clean through my thigh bone. So my d!ck of a grandpa made me walk a couple miles back on a broken leg and called me lazy and chubby for saying I was in pain. Least to say my parents chewed him out and that’s probably the only time I heard him apologize sincerely. But the docs thought it was broken by abuse. But not wanting to say that to me, I kept getting pressed over and over on to how it happened and they never liked my responses. I had three screws put into my left thigh bone because it was that or spend ten years in a wheelchair (I opted for wheelchair but was informed by mom that as my parent she gets to make the medical decisions). During one of my follow ups after the surgery, when giving my patented “the only fall I had was when some boys were rough housing and I fell into a table” lie the doctor exasperated with the lie angrily said “you don’t get a fracture like this by falling into a folding table. You get one like this by getting hit by a car or falling down 5 flights of stairs. Would you like to tell me who actually broke your bone now!” And angry I snapped back “no one broke it! I obviously didn’t fall down 5 flights of stairs or get hit by a car so stop asking me!” And then we got a new bone doctor. So yeah. Sometimes it’s not abuse. 😂

You can tell this show is dated. It shows. The kid has Dissociative Identity Disorder. It’s not multiple personalities. When you are a kid you have different ego states I think they are called that eventually fuse into a cohesive personality. In cases of childhood trauma this fusion doesn’t happen and instead each ego state develops into its own entity. The cool part is inside the brain these different identities can often be aware of each other or sometimes not

[deborahattica]

Discosiative disorder, it's not called multiple personality nowadays.

[Ashy_Rose]

This is actually so cool I never thought DID/OSDD would be out in the wild like this! As someone who has DID I feel appreciated ta see this

[dinahkruppa]

My son fractured his forearm when he fell off his bike
A year later he fractured the other one when he tripped in the neighbors driveway.
It is probably the angle you land at.

[KristinKoenig-pi]

Child Abuse and it needs to be stoped NOW immediately please and thank you

[strawberryfox]

It's so fascinating to me to what lengths the human brain will go to survive

[Haha_imgay]

Its not called multiple personality disorder. That was changed in the late 90s it is dissociative identity disorder- DID, it can also be other specified disociative disorder- OSDD

[Parasiteriley]

This is actually great representation for folks with DID. Not villainized or made to be a caricature. Just people trying to survive.

[neonnnleon]

apparently in the story it was actually the kid hurting her because he had a "violent alter" which i feel the need to say is EXTREMELY uncommon for DID. it's a disorder born from extreme trauma and more often than not, the victims will return to being a victim before becoming an abuser

[zenko_artz]

Man, to think she was going to lead her son back to that hell of a home... I understand abusers manipulate their vicitims and survivors to maintain control, but as a mother, man, I just can't imagine myself leading my sweet child back to the person who hurt them like that... it's such a heartbreaking situation. 💔

I’m so glad these comments are correcting this. For anyone who doesn’t know, DID (dissociative identity disorder) happens when the brain of a child goes through trauma and doesn’t know how to handle it. Different parts of the brain (commonly called ego-states) are in control of different things. So one might be in control of eating, one might be in control of family relationships, and one might be in control of having fun. This is why kids can see so erratic, their brains are shifting gears!

With good childhoods, these parts of the brain will combine together around the ages of 5-11 ish. The more trauma a young brain goes through, the less these parts of the brain will combine. At a certain point, these parts of the brain are so separate they develop their own unique characteristics. Just like anyone, they will have likes, dislikes, their own gender, and possibly their own accent. Each member in this team will have their own memories (that may or may not overlap), since the point of the brain doing this is so certain people don’t remember the trauma, so they can do their regular daily chores. DID CAN NOT develop in teenagehood/adulthood, since at that point, the parts of the brain are already combined! If it looks like someone had developed it later on, it means their brain has always been like this and you’re only now noticing.

People in these teams are called “systems”, and might not even know it. The people in these systems are often called members, headmates, or alters. Personalities isn’t used since it acts like certain people are more real than the other. You wouldn’t call your coworker a “personality” instead of a person unless you hated them!

Please leave any questions in the comments, since we have DID.

[MByas]

Poor child, he will need years of therapy.

[EmpressAaliyah]

Multiple personality disorder is not the real diagnosis irl, it's called Dissociative Identity Disorder. I have it myself. It's usually induced by CPTSD.

[marcyweisinger]

To be honest, it's my own opinion and a lot of people may think and agree with me about this. But I am so glad they did not replace or get a new actor to play T'Challa. It would not be the same without Chadwick.
