We have "a me part." That's the part that's almost always co-conscious.
But that part has a lot of trouble with recognizing who she is without the rest of the parts. She worries a lot that nobody loves HER they just love the other parts. She worries she lacks an identity of her own, and yet she's the one always co-conscious. It's hard.

But, "me" is a part too, and I like to think even though we're different, we all share the same people and the same life. If someone loves me (10), then that person loves "me" as well. If someone is my (10) friend, then that person is "me"'s friend too. And, most important, just because the mom part comes out a lot with E (daughter), doesn't mean E isn't "me"'s daughter. E is definitely the me part's daughter. And E definitely definitely loves the me part.

If anything, E feels less like OUR daughter (10, 13, the 6s) mostly because that'd be weird lol. I can't be a mom! But I don't try to be! I don't need to be.

And all of us interact online. Sometimes fluidly like we're one, and that's fine. Sometimes separately now, and that's new and it was scary, but it's getting easier.

Edit to add:
lol I see "me" was on here responding earlier and I didn't even know!! See though? Me isn't an amorphous blob, though, so "me" if you come back and read this, really...you are you! (That is truer than true...there is nobody else that is youer than you!) lololol
