My name is Sarah and I'm one of the protectors of my system. I'm in my early 20's.
We also have Jess (17-the warrior), Adam (13-protects his twin, Amanda), Alice (adult-my backup).
We supposedly have another protector with us but she's very nasty to our host. I've heard the term 'persecutory protector' and I wonder if she applies. She doesn't want any of us to know her name, though we have hints. She will call our host names and basically make her (and others!) feel bad.
Jess is furious with The Other (can't figure out a better name for now) and told her that she will protect our host from her.
How can I make sense of The Other and her purpose for being essentially abusive?
