I know the dead rabbit is a part of my system now and has been for a long time. I'm just saying I don't know if he was a part of my system when he was a living rabbit or not. It seemed important for me to mention because I am not sure if I actually do have a part who has died or not. I think I do (sometimes I swear I know it) but I have been wrong before. I also know why he is dead/a ghost. I could get into the details of all of the above, but it is likely triggery and not likely relevant to the topic.

As for the ghost thing... it has nothing to do with possession or actual ghosts or whatever. It has to do with me being neglected and feeling invisible as a child. That is apparently how my brain chose to process, deal, and self protect with that. Anyway, I chose to mention that since I have had dead parts that now changed to living parts, so again, I relate as much as I am able, but from an opposite kind of way.

Maybe what I should have said from the get go is that people change, this includes those of us who are parts. Some might grow up, others might go away, some might turn into metaphorical living beings, some might metaphorically die. Anything is possible.
