That's why she opened herself to Emma, said that it's her fate to be villain and nothing will be good and enough for her. The reason she is talking about the Evil Queen as a different person is '''just not to feel bad about it and not to remember what she had done over the years. Just like Snow did at the end of 6.01: "You-- I mean the Evil Queen was trying to kill me".''' There are multiple and better ways to make someone feel good and make yourself feel good. That's my point, really. That's the kind of consolation you offer a kid. Regina is not a kid, and she should learn to own up to her mistakes, and not by saying 'Evil Queen' made me do it, but admitting that she made a mistake and she realizes it was her mistake, not people forcing her, not her inner devil taking control of her. And lately, she has been moaning too much about how Evil Queen ruined her life story. Then she goes and blames Zelena for Robin's death. Just like she blamed Snow for Daniel's, Emma for Marian coming back, and everyone from Marian to the Author and his book's rules for the complications in her love life. It frankly pisses me off. It happened, learn to live with it instead of moaning around and placing blames.

Regina has this habit of always blaming others and mostly easy targets for whatever went wrong with her life. It gives her a chance to seek revenge or at least vent about it and not feel utterly helpless. But it's not something that'll help her long term and so it shouldn't be promoted. I was honestly surprised that everyone was on board with this literal split personality idea. Yeah, she's ALWAYS blaming someone, as you said Snow, Emma, Zelena for destroying her happiness. I don't agree with her at this point. But for her own sins... I don't think so. If she was blaming the "Evil Queen" as a person, not herself, do you really think she would suffer that much? She understands the consequences of her evil past. She even said that she hurt people in ways that she can never make up for. I think the reason she split herself in two is to feel a bit more relieved. You probably remember the scene when Hook entered Granny's and Regina wanted to rip his throat out. And now, after she let her thoughts that whispers her to do evil things go, she probably doesn't want to do that. The serum thing is not about creating a concrete Evil Queen to blame, it's about feeling herself good, as I said earlier.
