Wow, just wow! As the daughter of an abusive and drug addicted parent that suffers from DID this was a real eye opener. I know that my "mother's" story is a lot like this but not quite. Obviously, with the abuse of children there's much more going on than with this "story" but I must say this article by Shazzi was hitting very close to home. I just hope Mrs. Sheppard is getting the help she needs and gets everything she's deserving of in this life and the next.
