Karen! I am excited for you! You were right on with your opinions and comments of the United States of Tara show. Diablo Cody herself quoted the following: ..the reason I couldn’t get past episode one.
 This show was just poorly written and embarrassing.
 I admire the fact that even she said she wouldn’t have watched the first season. It takes courage to admit your shortcomings and boy did this show have a lot.
 You are a true multiple Karen, Dr. Baer is a true psychiatrist. Why can’t the show hire you guys?
 All my wishes for good fortune sent your way. Blessings.

Dear Martha,

Thank you for believing I am right about USoT, but I am just one woman sharing my personal opinion. I am simply doing my best to help others understand the truth about multiplicity based on my own personal experiences. I am not a professional or an expert: just one woman who survived an illness.

Thank you for wishing Dr. Baer and I should be hired to help the writers of USoT. That’s a great compliment. It would be an honor to help the staff bring truth to the show. If asked, I would jump at the chance. But it’s not my story and I don’t believe the show’s staff wants realism. Though I have to admit some of what happened to my family and me could be material for a comedy. My early years were abusive, but my alters’ ways of helping me survive as a mother, wife, and worker had hysterically funny moments. I have hundreds of stories.

Thank you for your compliments, wishes of good fortune, and blessings. I’ll be watching the show and continuing to comment when I think it’s helpful.

Karen
