for me crying children (inside or out ) did not bother me until after my wife and I had children. I grew up with those with in me crying screaming, laughing, talking so for me it was just my normal to hear those sounds inside my head. I thought everyone heard voices, laughter, crying, singing, playing screaming.... in side their heads. it was only after I was diagnosed DID I began to wonder, but again since it was my normal this happening did not trigger me.

After my wife and I through a donor had a child, thats when my maternal instincts kicked in with my reacting to a childs cry. At first I couldnt figure out why this was happening, then a pediatrician explained to me that all parents in every living organiism have reactions on an instinctual level. its what enables for example a lioness or momma bear or ant, bee ...human being to protect their young and ensure the continuation of their species. The trick is to learn how to control those instincts by learning about my children and what each of their cries mean. does the cry mean I am hungry or does it mean Im in mortal danger. After that I started paying more attention to my children and learned what their cries meant, when I needed to come rescue them right away and when I could breath and take time to relax.

I waited until I was integrated before having children but I do know others who are using the same situation with their internal children with in where they are taking the time to learn about their internal children, using grounding, relaxation, learning when their internal childrens cries mean something needs to change, be done about what ever is causing the internal crying and when to just sit with that feeling by acknowledging it is happening, breath and use grounding to come back to the present moment.

maybe that can help you..continue working with your treatment providers or a treatment provider who can help you to learn the tools that you need for addressing what\who this crying internal child (children) is, why the crying and how to best help them, when to help them and when to breath and ground yourself back in the present moment, just like a parent of any species including human beings do for their out side of their bodies children.
