Hi Karen,<\/span><\/p>\n

I viewed all the videos and read all reviews. Richard Baer did a great job in writing the book and you are doing a great job answering all our questions. I had a thought about your true identity. Why aren\u2019<\/span>t you visible to the public eye? Are you ashamed of who you are? Is Richard Baer ashamed of you? Us people need to see real people and you are real right? If you aren\u2019<\/span>t pretty or photogenic it doesn\u2019<\/span>t matter to anyone. Can you add a picture of yourself and of Richard Baer here?<\/span><\/p>\n

Best of luck in your future, Leaf<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dear Leaf,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for viewing our videos, reading all our reviews and especially for your compliments on Dr. Baer’s writing and my answers. \u00a0<\/span>I’ve kept my identity guarded because I didn’t wish\u00a0to draw\u00a0attention towards myself or my family and friends. What\u00a0is important is sharing my story in hope to help others with their own personal journey. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am not ashamed to have survived a horrific childhood nor ashamed of surviving MPD. \u00a0<\/span>This is who I am. \u00a0<\/span>And I believe I am a stronger woman because I am a survivor. \u00a0<\/span>Dr. Baer is not ashamed of me, either. \u00a0<\/span>He is proud of all that we accomplished together and never once made me feel less than the survivor I am.\u00a0 And, yes, I am real. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What I look like is not important. \u00a0<\/span>I am just one woman who decided to share her story. \u00a0<\/span>But we\u2019re not avoiding being more in the public eye, we just haven\u2019t been asked to make more appearances than we already have. \u00a0<\/span>For now, if you view our videos or read some of our many articles you will see a glimpse of the both of us.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
