- Hello Becky:) I am happy to know that it's women like you that make a safer place in this world and care about the women and children of abuse. I receive counciling every week in the town of Goderich Ontario at the Women's Shelter because of abuse in my past. It's been over 4 years that I have been seeing this wonderful councilor, her name is Blanche Savage. Around here there is no one that deals with Dissociative Identity Disorder and Blanche sure knows what she is doing when we are in session. I just started a petition and you can find it on my website at http://marieangelfreedom.blogspot.com if you would like to know what is happening to Cornwall Ontario regarding sexual abuse, it has taken away a huge part of my life and I am now trying to get back what I never had "Me"
Any how, it was nice to meet you, I am hoping we can talk soon:)
