Karen,

My mind cannot comprehend all that you have experienced. You are truly a miracle of survival, hope and courage. Dr. Baer’s book, your story, is difficult to read. It makes me so angry at the people who hurt you. But it is almost impossible to put down. I just wanted to say God Bless you. Thank you for telling your story. I am certain that through it knowledge of MPD will be gained and people will be helped. I know there is a special spot in heaven for people like you.

Dear Becky,

I know my story can be hard to read. Looking back and remembering where I have been is hard for me, too. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that I’m alive and well. I survived and will I continue to answer questions hoping to help others. I have faith.

Thank you for believing that I inspire survival, hope and courage. I was the lucky one. I believe there is a reason for everything and that my story is meant to be shared. I am grateful to receive a second chance to live.

I can understand the anger you feel towards people who abuse children; I feel that, too. But there is hope in sharing and paying attention to the signs in the children around us. Those who abused me have been silenced. I no longer am a victim to my past. I try my best to look forward.

It is Dr. Baer’s and my hope that knowledge will be gained through our story. I pray to be in God’s service for as long as I am needed.

Thank
