Since meeting my inner child, I’ve continued to develop a relationship with my her as a way of learning to love myself. Today, this relationship is threefold: I love and comfort my little girl (Susie); I set limits with her; and we play together. As a result, she has, for the most part, stopped acting out, and her pain no longer permeates my life. She is content and no longer needs mood-altering experiences to anesthetize her pain. Most of all, my self-parenting has helped me grow up, and this maturation has paved the way for other changes.

VERY interesting post, Susan. I know just what you are talking about. I find that when I let myself play (swimming and working out each morning) and when I set boundaries for my own self care, I don't carry around that pain. It's really life changing, isn't it?
