As a DID system, we have several littles (inner children) that heard, felt, and responded to this gentle, caring message with warm tears -- having felt seen and heard. It hits one way to do it for ourselves, quite another to hear it from outside -- such an extraordinarily rare event. Though we know you don't know us, you shared in a way that felt like you were sharing with us. It's deeply appreciated. Thank you for this.

Bradley, thank you so much for sharing this deeply heartfelt response. It means so much to me that my words resonated with you and your littles in such a meaningful way. The thought that this letter could offer even a small sense of being seen and heard is truly humbling.

I’m so grateful you felt that connection, and I want you to know that your journey, your voices, and the strength it takes to share them inspire me in return. The courage you show in embracing your story is extraordinary, and I’m honored to be part of this space where we can connect and support each other. Sending warmth and love your way!
