i think sending her to siberia is a great idea!! but, i also wonder what it would mean for you, (((bloom))), if you did not have your inner child with you. if she is your protector, then how would you cope then? i am wondering if something has come up recently that is making her act out moreso than usual? maybe you need to tell her, 'hey look here buddy - i'm taking looking after this issue, so i'd like you to quieten down and trust me this time. but thank you also for trying in the best way you know how'. and give her a hug. you deserve love, and she probably hasn't felt that unless she's been "perfect". she's allowed to be imperfect and still know people will not hurt her.
