You don't need a specific "role" in the system. You're allowed to simply be you. That's your role, to be yourself. "Protector", "Gatekeeper", "Caretaker", "Trauma Holder", "Host".... these are good guidelines to figure out how your system functions, but you don't need a name for what you do to be a valid, important part of your system. You're you, and that's enough.
