When they talk about domestic violence in the mass media, there is the usual presumption of a male perpetrator and a female victim. But more often than not, the female "victim" also has serious psychological issues that match those of her partner. She may be prone to seeking violent relationships, emotional abuse, and/or violence towards the children. Domestic violence is not a gender issue but a family issue. The nonprofit orgs have spread untruthful propaganda about the nature of abuse to promote their own agenda with tragic consequences especially for children. If you would like more information, look up Erin Pizzey. She started the world's first battered women's shelter.
You and your sister who pulled the knife have both developed powerful instincts to fight the father... and defend mother. For a parent to reverse the parent-child role and make the children care for the parent is a form of traumatic abuse in itself, let alone with the kids trying to violently intervene then being blamed for her marital problems on top of that. It's really sick. Pride would have some issues with distrusting women that he hinted at above. He seems to associate women with feeling and vulnerability, maybe betrayal. You as host said your ex-best "gave up on you" and that must have really hurt. She may have been overwhelmed herself, but that doesn't make you feel any better.
I am quite aware of this fact, I have never been one to not see the big picture. My actions were a calculated risk to neutralize my father. He's unstable and dangerous, I needed to show him that I am even more unstable and dangerous. I've ingrained him a fear of me so deep, he left the state and will leave the country soon.
My mother has issues but my father definitely pushed her, and this is for more than just my mother. I did this for myself so that I could assert who I am, our father caused us intense turmoil. But I was the one who took the beatings and abuse, I have now freed myself from the shame and fear I had regarding my father and everyone else who hurt me.
In Jewish tradition, there is one day of the year with specific ceremonies necessary to say the name of God. Yahweh, I am that I am. In 300 bc a name was the essence of a person. I think that the way we name people here and now is far too arbitrary. It's a label without any purpose but distinguishment.
In medieval times one would earn a title based on their accomplishments. In a time of missing rites of passage, what about not having a name until you earn it. When I showed my father my power, I have taken the steps necessary to earn my name. I've taken the temporary name of pride, but my true name shall come soon. Yahweh I am that I am, what a wonderful essence.
After doing this I've started to transform, cynicism is integrating into me. I feel purpose in my destruction, I am a protector. I am the end to any and all abuse we suffer, I stand like a mountain unfazed by anything. I strike without hesitation, and I do so to protect those who deserve protecting. I am not pride that is without limitations, I am not grandiose or delusional. I am confident in myself, and my pride is my bottom line.
Overall, it's good to see you become who you are becoming! One thing that I noticed was happening in our system is that all of our ex-hosts and ex-co-hosts have taken on new names. Jarid was re-named Excel because of his expertise with spreadsheets and the way his mind works. Head Captain recently stopped being the host because it is no longer his time, he helped me and many of the others understand the system. He navigated and mapped our mind, and was given the name Head Captain. Many of the others deep in the mind have names simply to distinguish, while their subsystem has a name that describes their origin and collective purpose.
I had never thought about the concept of naming for any purpose other than to distinguish until it happened in my system and you brought it up here.

Yeah, I'll call her out.
Hey, hun. It's understandable that Pride would be adverse to seeking help outside of the system, but I think it's always good to have a friend you can rely on. Maybe Pride has seen a side of her that shows she's not reliable? I'm not sure, but I hope things get better soon between y'all and her, hun:)
I've seen issues with her, she lashed out at the host and made him feel incredibly vulnerable at a weak point. In reality, I was overly neurotic and overestimated her threat level. I take into account her power of the host and her intentions. With such little ill intentions, the host nearly lost it all due to her far too great influence. Whenever I feel she gaining to much power I act to undermine it and start over. Which is most likely what caused her to feel overwhelmed and feel as though she needs to leave. I don't see how they can reconcile, I would prefer if she was forgotten and the system would have a far lower threat level.
Just like everyone in a system has a purpose and a role, so too does every person in the world and in our lives. I can't say what this friend's purpose is in y'all's life, but it may be worth giving this person a second chance. It's up to all of you to decide whether it is worth doing so~

In reality our social conditioning made them reluctant to let me out. But here I've found an appreciation for my thoughts and validation for my choices. I must say you lads are quite helpful.
I'm glad we all could be helpful for you and your system:D I hope you can more effectively fulfill your role and purpose from now on:3
It's good to hear that we've been helpful, hun. It's a lot of work to function as a system!
