      Hi Rainbowoftears,

      Yes, there is an article – really there is. 🙂

      You’ve happened upon an old “reblog” of the original article and the link to that original article didn’t carry through from the old site to this new site. Thanks for finding that for me!

      I’ve now added a new link connecting this page back to the original article.

      ALSO — if this situation happens again, just use the Search feature to find all the Original Articles. I’ll fix the various reblogs as I can, but if you find one quicker than I do, that’s the way to find the original article. 🙂

      Thanks for reading, and this is a very big and difficult topic — I wish you the best.

      Cheers,
      Kathy

    Hello Kathy, I have enjoyed your blog and found it helpful for quite some time. I’m wondering if you’d be interested in reviewing my new book called Dear Little Ones. It’s a book about DID written for young alters. I don’t know of any other books out there that are quite like it. I’m hoping it can be helpful to a lot of people. I’d be glad to send you an electronic copy if you’d be willing to review it. It has already been reviewed on ritualabuse.wordpress.com – I’d love to know your thoughts. Best regards! ~Jade
