Melanie Hack shares healing thoughts

In case you missed the comment that Rita posted on the March 3rd Blog, here it is:

“I remember this story [Cindy James] very well. I remember how it was reported in the media. I don’t believe your sister was mentally ill. I think she had too many people around her that would have suspected if she was. If she suffered from a dissociative disorder she would have had large gaps of time missing from her life. The only gaps in time she was missing was when she was assaulted. Which when there is a trauma, especially a head trauma, a person often forgets.”

When my sister, Cindy, was alive, I had no idea of the degree of hell she was suffering through with her harassment—and I had believed she was definitely not crazy, nor suffering from a multiple personality. A dissociative disorder would have been a thought outside the realm of possibility at the time, if anyone had dared to suggest it.

Do you have an opinion about Cindy’s state of mind? What do you think?

Check out what people are saying (about Cindy and her case) at the UM message board and post your thoughts here in the comments section. (Or join the UM board and post your thoughts there. Then let me know by email what you think and I’ll post your thoughts here in an upcoming Blog.)
