To ALL who open this thread, whether they live with a dissociative disorder, understand and want to help in some way, don't understand but still want to help in some way, those that wanted to read just because...just everyone.

To those who I'm just now getting to know (and so enjoying it)...get used to it...I'M A HUGGER! My hugs never hurt and are always meant from the heart to all ages.

Please know how special we ALL are...inside and out, and all around.

In learning the story of this childhood, I value so much any survivor.

With more respect and thanks than I can put into words.
