aah, but we can't wish ourselves away, now can we?!
Who was it that said "wherever I go, there I am" ?
Yes, it would be easier if you didn't have to deal with her. You wouldn't be human if you didn't wish for things to be easier. But, please, no guilt, okay? The fact that she's stuck in there, not having made the jump to accept the superego like the rest of you simply means that someone stuck her there. Not you. I'm not talking about placing "blame" here, I'm talking logic. Logically speaking, there is a reason that she is still locked in there, wanting to get out. You were a child then; even if YOU put her in there for safekeeping as a coping skill, you did so for an outside reason. That reason no longer exists, but it is hard work to help that inner child grow up to match the "logical, superego" that is your grown-up part...
You, yourself, write about this stuff SOOOOOOOOOO much more eloquently (and succintly, I might add) than I do. Logically you know this stuff.
I'm just here to give you a little nudging reminder so you can lay off yourself with the whole guilt trip, okay?!?!?
