Karen,

I am very grateful for your inspiration and help to people like me who lost faith and are determined to find a happy medium. I was abused to and was diagnosed with D.I.D. two years ago. I don’t have alters that I am aware of but all the documentaries I watched there is not one single person who survived to become one blended person without alters. I wish there was a program that showed survival not dysfunction. Why is it that you were not the focus of a documentary? I would like to see something more positive, hopeful and promising and you ARE the one to bring optimism and fact to help others live. I will be praying for you.

Please write your memoir.

Dear Cathy,

I hear you. Dr. Baer and I understand the need for a documentary on someone who has healed from D.I.D.  My story, Switching Time, was written with that in mind.

Surviving multiplicity was difficult. But my alters did not disappear. My alters are me and I am my alters. We became one. No one alter died, they just simply merged within me to complete me. But I was fortunate to receive great care. I could not have survived alone.

Thank you so much in your compliments, support, encouragement, and for having faith in me. I am touched. Please know that I continue to write everyday and hope to some day share with everyone a sequel to Switching Time.

Wishing you all my best.

Karen
