Karen,

I’m 13 and I’m almost finished reading “Switching Time”. I just have two questions:

1) Do people ask you about your childhood alot?

2) If they do, does it bother you to talk about it?

You are probably one of the most strongest people I have ever heard of, I wouldn’t be able to go through at all what you have been through.

I have alot of respect for you.

Amy 🙂

Dear Amy,

Thank you for your compliments, believing in my strength, and respecting me. Your kindness means more than words can say.  

I have received many questions about my childhood and answer each one the best I can. I don’t mind answering any questions. I believe in sharing to help others understand multiplicity. While sharing my past, I try to remove myself from the pain I once felt. I can talk about most anything, because as an adult I no longer harbor the fears that once paralyzed me. My abusers can’t hurt me anymore. If I held onto my past fears, my abusers would have won. I choose to share with hope and optimism. 

Please know that you can ask me any further questions here. 

Wishing you all my best. 

Karen
