Sorry, dear blog readers. I keep over-sharing late at night and have had to password protect two posts now because I have just said more than I should about life and family on a blog. Bear with me. I know I’m freaking some of you out because I can see who visits, how often, etc., and have certainly noticed that even my friends have stopped commenting on the crazy lady posts. Sorry.

Okay. I’m probably going to keep posting whatever is on my mind. What worries me is that I’m losing my mind.
I am just so worried about my family (see non-protected post called When it Rains) and don’t want them to get hurt if, for some reason, these words get out farther than my 500 daily readers. Cause whatever you put out is as public as people want to make it. Sigh… But I need the support and the outlet so I’ll keep writing.

I completely agree with Zuska. This is your blog and you’re working through some really difficult stuff right now. You should be able to express yourself however you need. I haven’t been commenting as much as I should – I could blame it on being busy, which is partially true, but it’s also because I feel so inadequate to respond. However, the lack of my comments has absolutely nothing to do with what you call “crazy lady posts!” First of all, they’re not that at all. And second of all, I’d be almost more worried if you weren’t feeling a little down and expressing that. I know that when I blog about the shit things in my life, it helps to at least get a clearer view of what I’m facing and feeling.
Please do know that I think of you often, even though I’ve never met you in real life, and I hope that you continue to heal as time passes. It sounds like you have so much on your plate, I really can’t imagine. And keep blogging however you want to blog. Don’t be embarassed or worried about your readers – you have enough to focus on you. And truly, nothing you’ve written is anything I thought was too much or needed to be hidden.

You should not be feeling that you have to apologize! You are going through huge upheaval right now, and need to feel your way through. I have gone through something similar in my own life, and I know what a hard time it was … and I know how I was judged by those who knew me only on the surface. Those who knew me well held my hand through that time in my life, and encouraged me, and gave me support. Pfft to the others!
I wish you wouldn’t apologize, and wouldn’t feel that you have to censor yourself.

I say your blog should be for you and not for your readers, damnit! That being said … i’m a total comment whore and probably wouldn’t post if it weren’t for readers. *ahem*

I remember when I was going through my divorce. All the usual boundaries seemed to dissolve, and I certainly found myself exposed in new situations. Your whole world has turned upside down, so it stands to reason that you will be trying to find some bearings for a while. In short: life is just strange, and I agree that you shouldn’t apologize for what you post!

Don’t apologize for being you on your own blog. True friends will understand.
Keep your head up, you’re doing great.

I hate the “oh sh*t, did I just post that?” feeling! Speaking for me, I’m glad for the frequent posts, because I know you’re feeling OK enough to be outraged.
