A Multiple of Rights, from Mending Ourselves (1993)
Miranda: This comes from page 56 of Mending Ourselves: Expressions of healing & self-integration by the Readers of Many Voices and edited by Lynn Wasnak, published in 1993. I thought it might be interesting as a historical time capsule of multi history and the consideration of rights of alters. (Also, as a side-note, "system" as a standalone term is used throughout the book, so more data points on that particular chain.)
A Multiple of Rights
1. Each self has the right to exist and be recognized.
2. Each self has the right to be listened to by the others.
3. Each self has the right to feel any emotion.
4. Each self has the right to express feelings.
5. Each self has the right to time "out."
6. Each self has the right to disagree with the others or anyone else.
7. Each self has the right to be happy.
8. Each self has the right to have needs and wants respected.
9. Each self has the right to have needs met.
10. Each self has the right to make mistakes.
11. Each self has the right to have a voice in decisions.
12. Each self has the right to be loved.
13. Each child self has the right to be childish.
14. No self has a right to harm any other.
Mostly by Melanie, Duncan, Casey, and L.H., but everybody had input. We are working on a list of responsibilities.

Might end up getting the book myself, not gonna lie. Is it a good read overall in your opinion?

I doubt we'll keep it, so if you're willing to wait a week or two for us to finish it, we would be happy to send it to you! You're in the states, iirc, so shipping wouldn't be too bad.
