I'll admit that sometimes an anonymous blog is tempting, but it's also nice knowing that people who really KNOW who I am are reading and able to give feedback as well. <br /><br />My solution was a private blog with a few of my closest and most trusted advisors. We called it Illustratus Cor and it was both our Mastermind group and a place for us to vent and process through stuff.Cari Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934808896746112315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092327908759855115.post-35883474548837765152010-11-19T20:25:33.293-05:002010-11-19T20:25:33.293-05:00Hey there! I'm an in-law! I get what you'...Hey there! I'm an in-law! I get what you're saying, because there have been a couple of topics I would like to talk about but don't want to share with my in-laws either. Though, the slightly less revealing ones have actually been quite freeing to write about because I know that they are read by said in-laws and I think it's a chance to reveal some things about myself that I might never be able to share with them any other way.<br /><br />I had an anonymous blog in college. I made several posts. And then I got it off my chest. It's still out there and occasionally I'll go find it again. If you feel the need, give it a try. You don't need to commit until you know what will work best.KelleyAnnie @ Over the Thresholdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376529562902628318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092327908759855115.post-87250138755893992912010-11-19T09:18:31.608-05:002010-11-19T09:18:31.608-05:00That's tricky.
I have the same problem you do,...That's tricky.<br />I have the same problem you do, actually. There are a lot of issues I'd love to discuss on my blog, but anytime I get anywhere NEAR the more controversial parts, people start freaking out.<br />I started my own private blog to vent. But it's not the same. I'd love to have my blog friends give me their input on things. But I'm always worried a family member would find it.<br /><br />My advice to you? <br />Start fresh. Start a blog at a new address (could still be blogspot if you wanted), don't tell people that might take your stories too personally, and be free. It's your story. Your life. Your experiences. And you can always protect their identity by using initials or nicknames or something.<br />And really, there's no way for them to find it unless you advertised it to them.<br />Good luck. I know it's a tough decision. {{hugs}}Hailey @ Me and My Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287682374631377030noreply@blogger.com
