Beginning Saturday, my blog will me marked to private. I started blogging to share pictures and updates of my son with family and friends that didn't get to see him regularly. Then, I started to share my feelings about being a mom and opened up a little more. Lately, I blog about what I'm thinking and things I may have done and the way I feel about living in general. I've found that my website is being passed around to people that choose to judge and name call and backstab.
I'm done.
If you would still like to view my blog, send me an email and I'll give you access but don't expect to see anything too personal. It's not worth it.

so sorry that people found it important to pass judgment on you and what you write. as long as we are just speaking freely and not harming anyone, what's the harm? i hate that people have to squelch other's need/want to express themselves. blogging is meant to be a way to express ourselves, share info, and journal life's events. i hope to be able to keep reading your posts...
I get a good amount of hate emails, and I've received some very crass comments. Twice people said that if they knew my last name they would call Children's Services because they are worried about my kid.
Yeah, I blog my feelings. My feelings don't influence my actions. I could be having the worst day ever and my kid would never suffer for it. He would never even know it.
The funny thing is that I will get something from someone (usually saying that I am a terrible mother for feeling a certain way) and then six months later that person leaves a comment saying that she feels exactly the same way that I do about something. Um? Hello!! You hate me! Why are you still reading?
Of course I want an invite to your private blog, but I would encourage you to stick with the honesty and the openness and ignore the assholes. You are helping more people by speaking freely than you are offending people.
Fuck them. If they have the time, energy, and and desire to care that much about you, let them. Their negativity should only bring them down, not you.
i so completely agree with Lora!! screw what other think. we love your blog and how real you are!
anyway...your blog is awesome and it would be a sad day if you stopped sharing your thoughts with us.
Hi, it me...Melissa, from delurking..Ha....I don't personally know you, but reading your blog lets me know that I am not alone in this "big bad" world. Your honesty is the one thing that draws me to your page. For the life of me, I cannot understand why someone would judge you for that. Oh, wait, yeah I can...they are the “happy on the outside, dying on the inside” types that have not found the comfort within themselves to accept themselves for who they are and are always pretending to be someone or something they are not. I am sure they find fault in your candor b/c they themselves want to be like you but are terrified how others will judge them because of that. Therefore, they go about their lives pretending they have the perfect life when overall they know that any minute it just may all fall apart. It will definitely be a sad day when you stop sharing yourself with others. As I said, I do not face-to-face know you, but if there were more of you in the world, it would be a much better place. Thanks for sharing and I would love to know how to be able continuing reading your blog. The best of luck!!
