Dear Karen,

Thank you for talking to me today on facebook. I know facebook is great but actually being able to accept me as your friend shocked the shit out of me. sorry. I can’t believe you are a real nice person who respects and cares for people. I admire your ability to maintain control and composure with dignity after what you went through. I admire you for not feeding into my hatred of your therapist for not believing in mpd. I see you wont attack anyone. I thought about you after you answered my letter. Not once did you buy into my idiot remarks. How could you stay loyal? Why not tell people off? Instead you were nice to me when I wasn’t nice in what I wrote. sorry. thanks. No one really likes me. But you a stranger were kind. I believe you are real, Richard Baer is real and your story is real. sorry. I no longer have doubts. Richard Baer is a good man. sorry. I didn’t mean to call him names. I liked the book. It was powerful.

Dear Friend,

You’re very welcome! I sensed your anger and pain. I’m not angry with you. You were sharing your honest thoughts and feelings. And I heard you loud and clear. I would never become angry with someone for that. I admit, I felt a bit sad having to defend Dr. Baer. It hurts me when he is attacked, but I felt the need to let you know that Dr. Baer is a good man.

Would telling people off help either way? I don’t think so. I believe in being kind to each one another. I believe anger is fear turned inside out. I also believe when one understands the fear behind their accusations, the problem can be resolved. I’m glad to hear you now understand a bit more than you did in your first email. That means a lot to me.

I’m loyal to all who befriend me. Thank you for writing me back and sharing your new thoughts. Please know knowledge is the key to a peaceful heart.

Karen
