Dear Karen,<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you registered to vote? Can you make one complete decision after reintegration of your alternate parts who each had different opinions? When you integrated you wrote you had a part of every alter inside you. I am curious if it<\/span>\u02bc<\/span>s hard to make decisions. Is there a continued conflict when making decisions? Are you conflicted about the presidential vote? What would you have done if the alters were around, vote or not vote or vote many times? In the book or somewhere? I read about when you were worried about jury duty. Was it because of alter conflict? I would love to access your mind. I bet it<\/span>\u02bc<\/span>s fascinating. Don<\/span>\u02bc<\/span>t forget to vote!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Anonymous,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I am registered to vote and it was the first thing I did this morning!\u00a0 As a matter of fact, I also escorted four voters to the polls who were too ill to drive\u00a0themselves.\u00a0 I am one woman and made one decision based upon the facts as I\u00a0know them. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, there were times when it was\u00a0hard for me to make a decision, but this was no different than anyone else who weighs the pro’s and con’s before commiting to something they believe in.\u00a0 When my alters were\u00a0active, most\u00a0usually did not\u00a0make any final decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had no problem deciding who to vote for.\u00a0 The amount of information and exposure in this election was overwhelming and gave all of us more of an opportunity to learn\u00a0about our country.\u00a0 Of course, I voted once!\u00a0 There’s only one registered voter under my name, and that’s me. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding my decision not to attend jury duty.\u00a0 This decision\u00a0was\u00a0during\u00a0a time of my not being able to control how\u00a0my alters would react if the case happened to be one of child abuse, sexual abuse, or something similar.\u00a0 I was afraid I’d lose time\u00a0or switch to an indecisive alter.\u00a0 I feared if accepted on any particular case that deserved punishment, my switching alters could bring on a hung jury and dismissal of a case. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
