The Book That Started This Hub
Lead with Safety
A Husband’s Guide to Loving a Wife with DID
There’s one moment the author returns to when people ask him why this book exists. It wasn’t in a therapy office. Not in research. Not in training. It was in his own bed — the night a Little looked up at him with big brown eyes and said her favorite song was “The Little Fishy Song.”
In that moment, something changed. He went from knowing to feeling. From seeing himself as the victim of what had happened in his marriage to understanding that it wasn’t personal. That she was a completely innocent victim. And that his job wasn’t to love more.
It was to lead with safety.
