Hi,
Well for me, when I finally was able to recognize my 'Kid', we fought like crazy!!!! I took me quite awhile, and some help from babblers, to realize that this 'Kid' is REALLY a kid and I needed to relate to her in that way. I kept trying to be adult with her and she kept having hissies. Now we mostly get along. And no, I don't condone her when she gets bad behaviors any more than I would accept the behavior from a real child. But I treat her as a child, and she has grown and improved and her behavior is much more socially acceptable. I treat her as kindly as I am able, and from an adult mother perspective. This has worked well for me in my relatioship w/my inner kid. I actually love her now (I find it hard to admit that, but I do) and she is part of me..so....I guess I love part of myself too. Weird.
Anyhow, dunno if I way off base here, but thats my thots.
My T is opposite of yours, she NOT into inner kid stuff!
LOL! go figger?!
Take care,
Muffled
