I remember when I first revealed myself to Viola, she freaked out and refused to acknowledge me. Most hosts go through this denial and it can take a very long time for them to come to terms with what has happened. To your host, Nathan and Jonathan mean no harm. They want to help you but you have to be open to that relationship. Like Jonathan said, they are a part of you and represent you at different times of your life. If you're scared they will be there forever, that's not true. They can integrate, where the alters and host become one whole unit again but that would be up to you. Just don't shun them. It will make things worse if you push them away because they'll feel the need to front more. Take it from an alter who's been treated this way: it's not easy at first but it can get better.
I agree with what Viola said.
At first, I was in a deep/huge(?) denial about what was "wrong" with me.
My brain/conscious just couldn't accept the fact that there's more than one person in here.
Even to this day, I still find it hard to believe on occasion, though I think that's my way of coping.
It's especially hard being an alter myself and still be the host, since while I was created and Felicia (the one who was "physically born" and thus the original) almost never comes forth, it's sometimes easier to think that there's only "me" even though there isn't.
If you want my opinion, I think your Host just needs more time to come to grips about you guys being there.
He has "known/felt" something for a while, yes? But he hasn't been certain about what it was.
He now knows you're there, but he's still in a semi-denial about it, most likely.
He needs more time to cope, I think.
Please, hang in there
