I used to try to press my opinions and beliefs on different parts. It didn't work because we'd both had different experiences. Also when I tried to force my beliefs on her it made her angry and upset because she REALLY CAN'T see things my way. My counselor helped me see that I have to let each part have their own opinions and feelings - forcing things makes trouble among the parts. My big job right now is learning how to cooperate and accept the others so we can learn to work together.

Hang in there and try hard to be patient with all of yourselves.
