Parenting Issues

I told my gf about my use of this sight… that went alright. She said she is all for “help groups” and was happy to see that I was trying… Well I told her I got some feedback. Some good stuff and some bad stuff. I said to take the good stuff with you and forget the rest. She was still fine with this. She was even ok with the topic I started “6 year old step daughter wakes up every night crying and screaming”… I told her I was just looking for help and others opinions. And please go read it if you think you can help. Anyway, once I started reading my initial comment things went bad. I didn’t even get to finish and she was pissed at me.

She said I was leaving out important information that left her looking bad. And that I was intentionally bashing her to make her look bad and just wanted to get “people” to say what I want to hear and ultimately to prove I’m right and she is wrong.

Well that’s not true, and there is just way too much I could say and I can’t say it all!! Of course I’m going to leave some things out. But all I really wanted was advice. I said a lot of good things about her but she refused to listen to anymore.

Long story short… I recommend keeping this for yourself! Just imagine some of the things people say on here getting found by their significant others…

I believe there are always three sides to a story... side A, side B, and the truth.

It's pretty common to have "our" side of a story we relate.

I haven't told DH as I'm sure he wouldn't understand..I've been rethinking my name here because it could be traced back to me but I'm not sure I can.

Wink DH knows I come here, but he has never checked it out (that I know of). If anything I think he would get a kick out of it, I never have anything bad to say about him or SS, and I only point out the obvious with BM. Wink

But I could see NOT telling the SO's about this site. It is "our" place to vent... if we wanted to vent to them, we would walk in the other room and do it.

I wouldn't worry about it. You were just trying to help her. You did say alot of nice things about her. (((Hugs)))

My DH doesn't even know this site exists. I keep it my little secret. Smile
He would shit the bed if he knew how I really felt about his stupid effing kids.

I agree, I say it all to him. He just doesn't listen so I have to vent here. He knows about the site, just doesn't follow it at all. I think he gets that venting here is a good thing.

My dh would be devestated to find out how deep my feeling run. He thinks I am displeased with ss, not struggling with dispising. I don't want him to know. I just want to find a way to get over it, and then forget it. Not likely, but a girl can dream.

It took awhile for SO not to be irritated about facebook, let ALONE a site that I was venting about his children on. He would be looking over my shoulder constantly. He wouldn't understand that I'm on here to keep from pulling my hair out and strangling him and his children with it. Wink

I'm pretty new to this site, but I haven't said anything here that I wouldn't say to my DW, so I really don't care if she knows about it or not.
