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.

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.
