Blogging is a very personal thing. I have had to be so careful in the past with my own, for different reasons but nevertheless it is very difficult to censor yourself when you are writing as a vent in the first place. I am glad you are continuing and doing so in the least hurtful way possible for your family. I am so sorry you have had to take this step but completely understand. Blogging is a very personal thing.

I receive remarks and comments about things that someone I know has read and I have learned to just ignore them. Your blog is your space, your personal outlet, your journal and anything else you make it to be! I am glad you are staying around! Who would read all of my recipes if you left!?? :) For the same reasons, I usually don't share my blog with family members or close friends. You are absolutely not alone.

And you're right. I've also learned this week, as an aspiring author, sometimes we need to watch what we say on such a public forum because who knows who is reading, and how it could "hurt" us. I know my mother reads my blog, and a few other of my family members on both sides do. While I rein in some of what I want to say about them, I do let them know how much I've grown and show how their lives have impacted me in certain ways, negative or positive.

Yay! I really admire your ability to delete an e-mail you knew would be hurtful to you without reading it. Yay!

Tamara (Desire to Heal) has had the exact same problem with her mother. And, because of the stress of dealing with it, has been taking a break since the end of May. Personally, I'm stunned that both of your mothers read your blogs when they've caused both of you so much pain. Our blogs are so personal and so important to us. I have no idea why anyone who's not supportive would read them nor write emails about them. How distressing! What a trooper you are! I have the utmost respect for the strength with which you're handling all this. Hugs to you from Los Angeles. Love, Susan Danielle,

These words are your truth and should be respected as that. You absolutely should be able to be as free as you want on your own blog. These words are your truth and should be respected as that.

I find myself editing my blog rather regularly based on the reader. Perhaps this is why I stopped for a while. But, I've come to the conclusion that it is my place. It is not a malicious place. It is a place of sorting out and learning and being...just like yours is. So glad you had the strength to hit delete. I know this has been quite a journey for you.

I am working on not worrying about offending people on mine. It's hard tho sometimes because I know people from my church read it and there are times I want to vent about church and it doesn't happen because I don't want them to read it. It's slightly annoying. LOL! I am hoping to get my blog straightened out so I can start posting again. I'm just not liking it, so I might perhaps go back to blogger until I get it all worked out.
