Mine is much older than anyone else in the system, and hides the weak ones from the abuser ones..and she intervenes when I am close to self destruct if the cycle has not progressed to far..I know mine is not all powerful at a certain point..it moves past her abilities to regulate and intervene..but for the most part, and especially since I have been in therapy and she aligned herself with my Therapist..the self destructive cycles aren’t as bad..even though at times she calls him a “Twit” when he misinterprets her communication..
