Who else finds it curious.

Topics of sex, endurance, endowment, etc., get many, many comments and participation.

However, when a topic of REAL intimacy comes along, it's quiet as a funeral home during a wake.

Superficial comes to mind. Shallow and dark as well.

A few of us have no problem being transparent.

Where are the rest of the brave and open books?

Afraid?laugh laugh smokin


No fear,,,,
But when you've had the private details of your life,,twisted and churned,,as some type of perverse *better than thou* you learn to keep things private,,
I fear nothing ,never did,never will,but the net is not in my trust zone

Understood and respected.

If you can relate to any of us and our words can help you, that's all that matters.

All the best to you, young lady.

If you can't relate yet, hang around. Someone may come in and it will be like looking in a mirror.

Knowing there are many on this site that would quickly jump in to ridicule or make fun of what we've been through, you still posted and shared.


Yeah there are.

Exactly what ana did for me. You are so right willing 2. Have to learn to heal. When my kids were teenagers i took in some of their friendd having home trouble. Over the years about 7or8. I keep in touch with most and all but one took the right path and are doing well. Onfact my son from another mother is visiting next week with his wife. So all that i could do so they didnt have too was also helping me. I also saved animals mainly cats. I was the catlady. Lol. That was all my path in life and doing your own therapy is good for others as well as yourself. Thanku ana for the chance and i do feel the weights lift.

you are a beautiful and worthwhile person. as is everyone who has endured their own demons (whether hey shared here or not) and come out willing to look at the beauty in life.

If my sharing my history can help another person see they are not alone in the world, it makes me glad to know that it helped in some way.

Willing2 has said that there are people who could openly ridicule us for sharing such a private part of ourselves.
Smartwithsparks says thers will twist your words.

Yes there are predators everywhere who thrive on belittling others. That is an indication that they have their own demons still making them insecure.

imho Those of us who have shared (well maybe I should only speak for myself) have come forward a stronger person. because we have reached a level of healing, belittling words by others won't change who I am now; a person comfortable with myself who has a loving heart.

Send each and every one of you a big hug. may your path bring you happiness and blessings. you eqch deserve nothing but the best

My story is not different from most. It doesn't make me any stronger than others. It is simply mine.
Raised by a single mom content to live solely on the child support provided by my father. She lacked direction and drive. Constantly blaming our short comings on others. Constantly emotionally frail.
Somewhere in my mind I vowed to never be the weak woman I saw her to be. I put work ahead of everything, sometimes to include my children, justifying it with words of "I will teach them to be strong, driven, and dependant on no one but themselves" I have kept myself emotionally unavailable to most I encounter.
I don't specifically regret my actions. Though I have learned from them and I am taking the steps to correct my short comings. I am working to foster better relationships with the two people in my life that I have, from the day they were born, named "my reasons"

thanks ana and yes it was uplifting i was crying as i read your story and wrote mine. its just so funny this thread came up because we all come a time in our life where we feel not loved. my time was as of late and the other day i got this phone call after a couple years and he said he knew he needed to call me and we talked for hours and hours. it was uplifting to know im loved, flaws and all, not a picture but me, and then this thread. i am a lucky girl to be here and meet good people. so hugs to you ana and thanks before i cry again. lol

To everyone who has shared a moment or an admission please remember it is wonderful to meet someone who is so in touch with their feelings..... it is rare. So many flounder around reeling in pain from wounds of the past, racing forward trying to get away to leave the wounds behind.... but you can't leave a part of you in the past. Wherever you have been, whatever you have done, what ever has happened to you stays within you and travels forward with you. We are today the survivor of who we were yesterday.... and so long as we are still breathing, who knows what opportunities tomorrow will hold. What a priceless gift to be given - the opportunity to live another day

My mom was like that. I loved the gladiator nature in her. At the same time she was a frightened little girl inside and not many people got the privilege to see that part of her. I got my work ethic from my mother. Extremely strong when it came to taking care of biznez and improving her living arrangements at each opportunity. She moved to a nicer house every few years till she finally reached her dream home on the top of a hill with an ocean view. When she was dying, she told me "I did it! I made a life for myself without a man. It can be done".


You should be very proud of yourself for what you have accomplished and also seeing your mistakes and taking them in stride Congratulations
