    just about the only time there’s an impulse to say another part has lied is when a part is talking about things they remember happening. the denial is strong, and some of it… if parts have lived their whole lives not being aware of something having happened, and if other parts have been told they are lying every time they said something back when it was happening, and were severely punished for the lies…. but that’s something that’s kind of easier to deal with. because it’s not like there’s any advantage to making up the things that happened, and it’s not like it would make sense to make them up… this doesn’t mean that the impulse to say another part is lying isn’t there, it just means most of us recognize it isn’t rational.
