I am sure that caring about readers' reactions ruins a blogger, that I've let it ruin me. I keep vowing to stop censoring myself, to say what I really thing, to write more honestly. So far, I haven't been able to do that. Thank you. I once had a therapist who believed that secrets are so toxic that our children will live them out.

I hope you find peace of mind and disregard any useless negative comments. When other people are able to talk/write candidly about their past it takes me one step closer to doing the same, which I think will help me - once I finally get there. "There" might not be a public blog (I wouldn't be able to handle the comments) but rather a long-overdue conversation with my sisters & mother. -Alicia Hi Penelope,

I know that you have Asperger's and find it hard to empathize, but hearing other people say what you've thought might really help.

I am not trying to be "heartless." But while there are a lot of folks who identify with the Penelope blog, sometime too much information(TMI)is not necessary or even a good thing. However, Penelope keep up the great blogging. Very late comment………..

I´m wrote a academic paper about a similar topic. Because of the anonymity of the web (even if you´re not really anonym), you are much more able to share your thoughts. Some therapists use this effect to help their clients getting well with problems.
