I think I'm moving integration to the top of my priority list too. I stay up nights thinking myself in a circle between what "she" wants and what "I" think is the responsible thing to do. Besides, I think if I could at least integrate the youngest part of me, the attachment to my therapist might ease off and separation wouldn't be so hard. I think the 12 year old is going to take longer, but I'm starting to feel like she is a convenient holder of the misery and anger. And I feel like I need to take responsibility for my own feelings and deal with them. I can't just let it be OK because it is "her" and not "me." This probably makes no sense...
I love it if you would share any suggestions for reading up on integration and how to do it.
btw, I'm glad you see the hope. It is embodied in your child. What a precious gift.
