Honesty and feelings

I had this same problem not long ago simply b/c a good friend joined and so did my youngest brother. My Hubby is also a member here. However they all know me well and know that anything I put on here about them, I've already told them outright so there's no surprises. I also never use anyone's name or hometown or anything to identify that person from a hundred other ppl in the world. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

no i don't use a different username. I know no body in my family are here. I also don't say something that may offend anyone. its my name and only 12 is added to it.

First, I commend you for realizing that you were venting in a possibly inappropriate place or at least venting too often or too specifically. Second, I think that it is important to find safe places to get advice. I do not know what you are dealing with with your stepson or how old he is, but I have a 9 year old daughter that I suspect has ADHD and we are in the very frustrating process of diagnoses. It can be overwhelming. I vent to my husband about my frustrations of the day via email so she doesn't hear me and I have joined two ADHD online support groups. Those I mostly read and post postitives because after reading all they go through.....my life isn't all that bad and I think they need encouragement. Be proud of yourself, you have done your family well.

i think im pretty safe because the only person knows my password is my partner and he rarely uses the internet and when he does it more looking at machinary or ebay. he not much of a reader lol but i havent shared anything really about him so im safe

I compare online social networking sites to the office fishbowl, where everyone knows everything. Therefore I am extremely careful about revealing any personal details that might reflect on anyone I know "in real life" so to speak. What amazes me is how many people talk about their former boyfriends, girlfriends, bosses, or whatever, thinking that their comments are anonymous. At least you don't use an actual portrait photo as your avatar! By the way, I totally love your pig. I don't think picking another username is going to ensure anonymity. These things have a way of getting out. I think you are wise to censor your posts to a certain degree. I try to think how I would feel if another person told the brutal truth about me and I found out. Ouch!

I have a username my family would probably recognize, but no one i know comes on here. So i think im probably safe. And i have never censored anything that i said. I just come right out and talk about how i feel. Maybe you can change your username? Contact mylot and see if you can.

I have picked a different user name but no-one that I know comes in here any way, everyone I knows thinks I am a bit weird being so obsessed with the internet, but then I don't say anything too drastic on here anyway so I think I am safe...

I always use the same username. So anyone who wanted to know more about me could easily search my username, and any of my friends would know if they saw a "lecanis" anywhere online that it was me. I've only ever seen one other person using the name, and they started using it after seeing me use it and reading my explanation of it on a forum... I was kind of annoyed, but to the girl's credit she did stop using it. Anyway, I had a point. My point is that anyone I know who saw what I wrote here would know it was me, and would probably know it was them I was talking about if I was talking about them. I'm not really nervous about talking about my coworkers or people not really close to me because they wouldn't know the username I use in the first place, but any of my friends or family would know. And if you've seen the things I've said about my family on here, some of them are really bad, but they're true. They would hurt feelings, but I'm not close enough to these people to care if they hurt feelings. My husband is another story. I don't typically write about him online, because he does have his feelings hurt easily by such. If I do talk about him, it's in really general terms like "I have a great husband" or it's me bragging about what a great father he is to our son. If I were going to complain about him, it would be in private via messenger to my online friends or something, not on mylot or any other forum or blog where he could see it.

i think if you don't intend to backbite anyone or intend to hurt anyone then you have a genuine course with your current name. you've the right to talk about things you feel hurt you and make seek some advice from others. I think for home problems you may have to discuss them first before you can make a post or you write in a neutral form so that no identifies he or herself to it. however, if he's an objective person he'll read the responses and could advice himself and have good time with you. At he might be but he could be calm on reading and knowing the truth and the right things he can do to make life better for the family.
