I hope that Ms. Cody will choose to omit the over sexualized, soap opera aspect that pervaded the first episode, and will pay more attention to the causes of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

I wanted to see it before and now I'll be obnoxious when watching it because <i>I KNOW HER. THE LADY HELPING OUT AND WORKING ON THE SHOW</i>. People will want to slap me. I'll tell them that YOU wouldn't slap me. That YOU would hug and squeeze me. You're ten shades of Incredible right now. Amazing.

Even though it makes me sound like I wear dream-catcher earrings and glitter scarves to say it, I sincerely believe that our hardships can shape us into channels for healing if we are willing. You've been living proof of it long before this. xo I can’t think of anyone better qualified to translate to people on the outside what mental illness is like on the inside.
