The website is difficult to maneuver around. I pressed on the question button and got no where. I pressed on the answer button and got part of the answer, not the whole answer. I am not good at computers so I ask someone to help me. I like to write and read. I read at least one book a week. Being old I am good to go. I wanted to know if you ever wish you could lose time again and how does your body feel when you want to switch now with no alters?<\/p>\n<p>You are in my prayers. God Bless you and keep you safe from now on. I am 70 years old and this is my first email. My grandson gave me a computer for my 70 birthday two months ago. My son gave me your book for my birthday because I always talked about Sybil and how horrible her life was. But yours was worst. Now I only talk about you. I enjoy reading your answers, it gives me something to look forward to each day. I admire you. I also admire your doctor. I hope your story becomes a movie.<\/p>\n<p>The good Lord loves you,<\/p>\n<p>Eleanor Dorothy<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dear Eleanor Dorothy,<\/p>\n<p>How wonderful to hear you are learning to email and chose to write to me first!  You have brought a smile to my face!  I know it&#8217;s a bit difficult trying to understand computers.  I am still learning myself.  Thank you for pointing out the difficulties with our Web site and asking a question.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy reading and like to write, too!  It&#8217;s nice to hear that your son bought you Switching Time as a birthday gift because he knew of your interest in Sybil&#8217;s story. I have not been able to read through Sybil. I tried to read it, but the similarities in the abuse made it difficult for me. Maybe someday I will try to read it again. Like Sybil, I tried in the best way I could to survive. Child abuse, in all forms, is horrific, and to me, no two cases compare. It&#8217;s a sad life to live after being abused. I believe dissociation saved me from some of the horror I experienced until I matured enough to deal with it. It is our hope to bring awareness of child abuse in order to help others to recognize any signs that a child is being hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your blessings. And for you continued interest in reading my blog.<\/p>\n<p>It would be very exciting for Dr. Baer and me if our story becomes a movie some day.<\/p>\n<p>Blessings to you,<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Eleanor Dorothy on September 6, 2008 11:48 pm Dear Karen, It took me awhile to figure out how to ask you a question.
