And this stranger's impression of you is that you have a kindness and sweetness that is genuine and deep and by welcoming Claire back you are perhaps in a more comfortable space. Perhaps it is just meant to be. Naive of me to say, I suppose, but you will never be alone and that must be nice (mostly!). Leah, you are a brave young woman and I’m glad we met at Grace’s.

I have your first book and have so enjoyed your humor, openness and brave willingness to answer questions. I have depression and found myself stopping reading exactly when you describe Claire coming out. I just know i recognized the despair, shame, guilt and it was too Real and Raw and I was having a pretty intense depression at the same time. I don't know what that means other than I found it it interesting. I am in awe of your bravery and willingness to share so much. I truly believe there is nothing wrong with you. Your brain does things differently, you have a unique coping skill? I have to agree, it seems to me that they are there for a reason, they have always been there to keep you safe. We all have aspects to ourSelves that we hold inside or keep away from some friends or family members. I know it isn't the same, and I don't mean to minimize your very different feelings...I think i just want to relate to you somehow so I can offer up some validation/normalization. Everyone above said it so much better. LOL You are a trailblazer, one of only a few who have been there and back. I just know that I am in awe of you, and inspired by your honesty. I feel undeserving. I just want to hug you and know you all. Hey Leah and Claire,

It's just how you handle it-- and even that is just whatever it is. I think you're just perfect because you're you in whatever shape or organization!!

I'm proud of you for doing so, and I hope the people you love are being good to you. I am so impressed with how hard this must have been to experience and articulate.

I don't expect that will ever change. I'm glad you decided to be honest. I think honesty is the only thing that ever heals us. Think of what a big ugly old bandage Heather ripped off by talking honestly about PPD. I think you are just part of a grand tradition of women bloggers talking about what matters. Hugs.

I don't know much about DID, but all that I can say is, please, continue to be courageous. Know that The Creator of life is on your side. Don't be afraid to receive His love and help.
