What Would I Do Differently?

What Would I Do Differently?

What would I do differently if I had known at the beginning of this journey what I now know?

First, I would gather a group of Christians - a "church" - including:

1.  Two or more mature Christian women who live in a secluded house with a spare bedroom in which Kristin can live and freely make all the noise she wants when the demons are being cast out of her;

2.  A group spiritual warriors who have been gifted with strong faith to cast out stubborn demons;

3.  A Christian medical doctor who can tend to her many physical ailments;

4.  A team of Christian clinical counselors who can help her heal from borderline personality disorder and dissociative identity disorder;

5.  A Christian or Christians who have been gifted to be generous and can provide for her financial needs; and,

6.  A large number of prayer warriors to pray for Kristin and those ministering to her.

It isn't that I didn't try to gather such a group. I initially expected such a "church" to rise up around her and minister to her. When that didn't happen, I looked for even just elements of such a church in two southeast Asian countries, China, Korea, Togo, USA, Israel, Czech Republic, and Poland, but didn't find them. Despite spending enormous amounts of time and energy, we couldn't even find someone to just house her.

Second, I would address the protector alter and her borderline personality disorder first and early on, when Kristin is full of energy and the desire to heal, and many sweet alters are still present and can help pressure the protector alter to deal with her borderline personality disorder and then integrate. The one thing all of those who claimed to be dissociative identity disorder experts and ministered to Kristin had in common was to invite whichever alter who wants to present herself to present herself, and then speak with her. In other words, instead of choosing the alters to minister to, they insisted on the alters making that choice on their own. At least two of those experts knew about protector alters, so I have wondered if their not choosing to deal with the protector alter was due to their ignorance or their desire to avoid dealing with a protector alter. 

Third, despite the difficulty in gaining compliance, I would be much more strict about the protector alter identifying herself whenever she is up and talking. I would try to have her not use the sweet alter as her cover from which to launch attacks and then hide behind.

Fourth, I would insist on, encourage and try to have the sweet alter stay up instead of going down whenever she feels stress.

Fifth and most importantly, I would pray more on my own.
