Yes, We care a lot is the name of a Faith No More song but it also points to the reality of being a person in the world who cares for children, other family members, pets, community groups, even yourself.
Delighted to discover a fellow IFS therapist and parent turned also-fiction-writer. :-) I am a little ways behind you in all three (very young children and just entering the querying trenches), but I love exploring how story can transform from the inside out for all our parts longing to be heard.

Definitely a lot of where has the time gone moments!
