Karen,

What do you think helps more, being a multiple, ex-multiple or survivor? The book was the most amazing book I ever read. I can’t get over your survival. Love you.

Dear Beatrice,

What helps more? I’m not sure I understand your question. Being a multiple, overcoming multiplicity, and living life as one is not an easy journey. There is no comparison between before, during, and after integration. My path was needed. No one can live life in a straight line. My life, just like many lives, branched off into different roads. But most of all, each step along my path was needed for me to heal. I believe there is a reason for everything.

My survival came from my will to live, heal, and my determination to use my healing to help others. All is meant to be. Sadly, as a victim of abuse, my journey was far from pleasant. What’s important to me is too leave the past where it belongs. All that I have experienced has added strength for me to live my life to the best of my ability.

I hope my thoughts answer your questions, please know that you can always write me again.

Karen
