I have parts that are in pure denial so much that they have a block where we can’t talk to them. They are very angry and swear that he can force us away. He succeeds for a few days, but that amount of fury and resolve melts away, eventually.

This part hates himself for not having control of himself, but yet doesn’t understand why he does whatever he thinks he does (we do)... He needs outside help of which we have none. There’s a lot of pride in him....so outside help he seeks none.

We have parts that are so singleminded that they don’t see the obvious and miss out on the evidential clues.

Maybe in therapy one day....
