B)I never said I didn't have desire and will to change. I believe that my inner child is scared of trusting and being close but there is genuine desire and change inside.

I read A), that first part, in context, several times, and I can't figure out what you meant by that other than that there isn't desire and will to change. That's why I asked -- not to interrogate or attack you.
I ask you to ask your self the question -- why did you say that first part -- because consciously "there is genuine desire and change inside." I'm not asking your for what you know you know -- the insight you've gleaned from therapy -- I'm asking you to ask yourself for your inner truth of why you said that, because you have communicated a conflict, and perhaps there is an inner conflict that you are not consciously aware of. Since you responded defensively (you felt attacked or threatened), this appears to have pushed your buttons, so even more reason to look boldly.
You don't have to answer my questions or even read them, of course. I do ask you to consider my question at least to yourself, though. If you've ever read my posts, and I've got a million of 'em, you know I don't pussyfoot around when I see gold glinting.
