No one knows about this blog yet, but me. I was going to title it "No More Family Secrets" until the irony of that struck me. Yes, I have disclosed pretty much most of my painful family secrets in therapy -- at least the ones that have directly impacted me -- and I have held back little in the way of significant detail. I have even disclosed the worst of those secrets to my husband and a few other people close to me. But, at the same time, I'm not exactly going public, not even in my own family. I'm still keeping secrets from most of them. And...this blog is anonymous.
But I left the "no more" in my blog URL, because this is yet another step in that direction.
Maybe someone who sonehow finds their way here will benefit from the words I plan to write. I feel a need to write them here, not just in the journals I keep locked up in my home, the contents of which I don't even always share fully with my therapist. For some reason, I can't shake the idea that I should put my words out here...even if no one else finds them.
So here goes...
