Hi Peeps,

I watched this programme too. Also worth noting is that Pamela had learning disabilities too, which made her life more of a struggle.

She could get aggressive at times and her main carer was often quite harsh with her (in my view) and I felt that didn't help her aggression.

I did wonder if the general public would think that all ppl with DID were all needing this much care round the clock. Which isn't the case, ppl with DID can hold down professions and bring up children, and do not all need round the clock care.

Yes, its good that the things weren't sensationalised, it was handled sensitively, the cameraman/interviewer took 2 years to gain her trust to make the film.

I know of ppl with DID who do not have outside carers. Everyone is unique and some ppl have a carer inside.

Channel 4 have a habit of repeating stuff really late at night, so I hope you get to see it Silver.

hugs to all, Poppet
