Its so strange to have no bad dreams for an entire week. I wonder if its because Missy went to talk to the new T and had a chance to get some of her extra energy out. It always seems like when Missy is around, we have so much energy. On Tuesday, the day after she went to talk to Kathy, we had enough energy to work out for an hour PLUS take the baby for a 90 minute walk. All week long we haven't needed to take a nap (something we've gotten addicted to the past month since getting injured in a car accident) while the baby is sleeping. And today we went to the movies with our husband, and Missy was around nearly the whole time. I guess when you're a young teenager you have enough energy to go around for everyone. She's so suspicious of the new T though. Kathy knows that though... I think they talked about it. Missy feels justified in her mistrust. She didn't trust Sharon, and look what happened with THAT-- she thinks we should have listened to her the whole time. It all turned out just like she figured it would. But hopefully with Kathy, it won't. We don't know who to listen to. Caroline, who says its okay to trust again, or Missy, who says to trust no one.

Hi everybody...
We have put off writing this post for about a month because honestly, I was afraid to jinx anything. Silly, I know. But we didn't want to ruin anything good that might be starting. But, we're starting to feel a little more comfortable and safe with the situation now, so it might be okay to post this. A few of you who e-mail us have already heard the good news-- so thanks for helping keep it private until we could post it here ourselves.

WE HAVE A NEW THERAPIST.
Yes you heard that correctly.
Two years after Sharon dumped us in such a horrible way, we have found a new T.
After trying 8 people who were total duds and a couple of them being absolute quacks and all of them being LOUSY with DID.... we have Kathy and she is great.

Afraid to say much. Still don't want to jinx anything. Lets see what do I feel comfortable saying...
finally about 5 weeks ago, had just had it. Decided to send feelers out ONE last time. People at our DID forum we own, A Mind's Journey (link is to the right), suggested someone who has a website and blog. And lo and behold, she is about 45 minutes from our house and job. So, I think we sent an e-mail or something. Turns out, we'd already been members of her website about 4 years ago, so we sorta already knew of each other.
So. We went. Bunches of the kids have been checking her out. In the past 5 sessions, Missy, Tuck, Claire, me (jo), and a bunch of others have already talked to her or at least showed up to check Kathy out. She gives everyone plenty of time to talk and things aren't rushed. She knows lots of good tricks to help the kids. And, she thinks what Sharon did to us is HORRIBLE and wrong. She's helping us get over how Sharon ended therapy so quickly which just ended up doing so much damage. So that's helping.
Anyway... don't want to say too much write now. Its hard to trust. Hard sometimes, to believe a prayer might have been answered after two years. But its nice. A little scary to let someone new in. But Kathy gets that we will take a while to trust her especially after what Sharon did.
The kids like her though. They've been a little less fussy and ornery since now they have a Kathy to talk to and don't have to keep everything bottled up anymore. That makes things a little easier on the grown ups.
We still love and miss Sharon...very very much.
But we're so glad to have a Kathy. And hopefully it won't all be a trick, like it turned out to be with Sharon.
So.... yah. There ya go.
