The thing that is so hard to do is to think of all the parts as good parts of you, which got so badly hurt that they separated. I guess that is the work of therapy- to try to welcome them back so that they are all parts of a rich and varied you. You know, they didn't do anything wrong; they were little children who got terribly hurt. THEY aren't bad; the people or person who hurt them is. When you have the feeling that you have awful parts, could you try thinking of them in a more neutral way- not condemning them? Remember what RealMe said- she used to have separated parts, but now she doesn't. They are part of her, and she feels friendly and compassionate towards them- or, I guess, towards the memory of them. She did say, though, that she didn't lose them; they are part of her in a closer, more unified way.
