Herschel Walker was on a interview on ESPN I think sports channel yesterday. He talked about his multiple personality disorder. I googled his book and read your comment. I ordered your book instead. I think you are smarter than the average bear. Your answers here prove that. I can\u2019t wait to get your book. I have my doubts about Herschel. My sister was diagnosed as DID. Hope to learn something from you. I already did here on your blog. Thanks a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Dear Marvin,<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for sharing! I didn’t hear Herschel Walker’s interview yesterday so I dare not comment. I believe Herschel suffered some unhappiness, as I wrote in my comment on his book, but I believe the book to be more of a football story than a story on the incomprehensible illness of multiple personality disorder. Each multiple is unique and no two can be compared. There are few similarities in our stories; I experienced abuse–constant, consistent, and repeated sexual abuse, emotional control, and degradation during my entire childhood. That’s what caused my alters. \u00a0I didn’t find any of that in Herschel’s story. But who am I to judge? Therefore, I won’t.<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for your compliments and for choosing to buy Switching Time<\/em>. I bought and read Herschel Walker’s book myself. Not sure if he ever read mine. Bringing awareness to the truth of the illness multiplicity, is what’s most important. You may need to read more than a few books to understand your sister’s suffering. Please know that what’s most important is being there for her, listening to her, and never making a big deal of her alters when she switches. Treat her with respect and as one person. I’m glad to hear she has a compassionate kind brother like you to help her.<\/span><\/p>\n
Dr. Baer will smile when he reads you think I’m smarter than the average bear.<\/span><\/p>\n
Wishing you all my best!<\/span><\/p>\n
