You know, a journal is a sacred thing. You write things in a journal you want no one to ever read. An online journal is a way to get those feelings out into the open for all to see. We spill our guts to get these feelings off our chests, in a way making ourselves feel better by releasing the guilt of our feelings and actions. Unfortunately, we never stop to think about WHO reads these entries we post so freely for all to read. For every post there are people who the writer wants to read and people who the writer doesn't want to read. In the recent past certain information by a writer (who shall remain nameless) was received by the wrong people. This writer was venting the incredibly sad feelings he was going through. I would know, I have written about such feelings of my own many times.

The information and feelings leaked to people, who I'm sure only have the best interests of this writer in mind, but they failed to realize the damage interfering has done. They brought out these feelings to help the writer receive help on them, but in MY opinion he needed no help at all. His writings expressed a deep sadness in his heart, but also, by expressing them, showed promise of resolving them on his own. Therapy isn't the answer, he and I both had expreinced therapy when we were children, and if either of us had to go through that again, only bad things can come from it. Being forced to do such things is like a jail sentence, we don't want anyone to tell us how to live. I would rather die or disappear than visit another therapist against my will.

I know you are worried about us, I am worried too. But we will work out our own problems, please butt out of our lifes.

I am leaving the comments open on this post only becuase I would like feed back on THIS topic. There are other topics I do not wish to discuss at this time and I will DELETE any comments pertaining to that topic(s). One last thing, Betsy, I have one question, how did you get his Blog address? And do you have mine?

I kind of know how you feel. My brother has decided that he should read my blog and report anything shady in it...although he's concerned about hearing that i stayed the night somewhere i shouldn't, or I drank, not about my personal health. Yes it's good to care, but forcing someone into something is not the answer. Especially therapy. it's telling someone you don't know your life story, and then you're expected to listen and have them "direct: you to the solution. It shouldn't be forced, and it's important to respect someone's wishes.
