Karen! What a remarkable story. Thank you and your therapist Richard Baer for allowing your journey to be told. I watched the show USoT and found some of your comments from last year. I am grateful you help people. Keep on helping us. I don\u2019t know if you know it but you and Richard have a gem in Switching Time. I too hope to see another book from you guys. I know the first episode aired the other day. I see comments but none from you? Did you watch it?If not is it because you no longer like the show? Your input is valuable. Love to hear your thoughts. One other thing why can\u2019t people stop trying to destroy your story with crazy questions leaning towards your story not being a good thing? Don\u2019t listen Karen. You are phenomenal. Dr. Baer is, too! Like you wrote \u2018We made a great team\u2019 Don\u2019t forget the truth. Don\u2019t let people control those good thoughts with their jealousy. I see you haven\u2019t gotten around to answer some questions as of today. I can see why? Love your spirit. Ever think of filming a documentary?<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Leslie,<\/span><\/p>\n
You have no idea how much I appreciate your comment. I appreciate you sharing all that you have, especially your concerns about those who ask questions that are off-putting, accusatory, or rude. I answer each person’s question to the best of my ability, but I admit at times it can be wearing when negative undertones are present. I’m not sure why some people feel the need to attack me and Dr. Baer. I assume it’s hard for some people to believe in our story and wish us well. Maybe it’s jealousy. Some people feed on the unhappiness of others and seek it out. <\/span><\/p>\n
I try\u00a0my best to deal with rude questions with optimism. I believe most people are hurting and may not realize their questions are transferring their pain onto me. I am attuned to them. In my opinion there are no right or wrong questions, there are simply questions. I believe if someone has something on their mind and needs an answer, my response will bring them a sense of calm.<\/span><\/p>\n
I haven’t watched the first episode of United States of Tara, but I will and most certainly will join the message board. I enjoyed doing so last season and looking forward to contributing this season as well. <\/span>I’m glad to hear that my comments have helped. That’s what I’m hoping for. <\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for believing my journey is worth hearing about. Maybe some day we will film a documentary. Time will tell.<\/span><\/p>\n
