Thanks I hadn't thought of that concept of dismissing my inner child for so long.I was expecting her to be done crying by now out of ignorants to th e fact how much more time will need.Gosh I have been working hard on my awareness, growth and healing for 6 years now.I find that I get anxious to reach the finish line of letting all the pain out.Meanwhile I am searching to understand my mother now and I wonder if her or I do the disassociation thing. I think she has done it during my mid childhood years.I have read the book on Sybil and I can relate to a few things she experienced.It's an awe some book, long but good.

Smilie
