I am one of those silent lurkers that you refer to in your post as drawing strength from your experience. I've followed your journal for about a year. Your lives are like a kind of poetry, if that metaphor is apt. On the other hand, you deserve your privacy. I rarely hide anything. I guess I've got the "courage" you wish for in this post. In retrospect, that openness comes back to hurt me almost every time. The last thing you need in your life is more pain. Please don't stop writing. But do respect the depth and privacy of what you are writing. Saying "this is too personal to post" isn't an admission of defeat! I would hate to see you silenced.

We're glad you could make a start and share your fears. We, too, have worried that someone could stumble upon our web-site and put it all together and know our deep dark secrets. While that's not likely to happen, it's a chance we'll take. We find it important to share our story and journey with others. It helps us feel better. We hope you will write more. Take care.
