Hey does anybody know...if you delete your account can you get a new one with the same name? I'm only asking because I wonder if you could just start fresh. Lately I'm worried about some lurkers and I would love to keep my same name but delete the old comments etc from other forums and you can't just delete so I though this would be a way around it...

I like it here and I want to stay but I'm afraid they will figure out who I am and I don't want my SO to read a lot of the things I have said on here about skids, he would be really upset.

Just delete your blogs. But, I do recommend saving them to another source. They are nice to read again to see how far you have come or in our case we used the dates for court and the lawyers against BM.

Your name is pretty generic so I can not imagine someone putting it together....

No way would I leave you SS!! Besides if I was thinking about it you would be the first to know Smile I don't want to change the name and then people don't know who I am...I have my favs like we all do!

You can't erase the forum threads - I guess that is why I mostly just use the blogs - I would write to Dawn and ask her how you can do this - she may be able to do it for you!!!

Thanks Caregiver! That's good advice...I should just blog that way I can erase thnings I have written if I don't want them there. I googled myself on steptalk the other day to see what would come up and it was like anything I had ever posted. I thought wow...if SO came on here he would know exactly who I was in a minute. Not that he would do that but still...

I'd love for anyone (esp. DH/BM) to read my comments. They would be surprised that I have grown a "pair" & that's why I'm able to deal with skids. I keep so much to myself. All I know is DH+Skids+husky have killed all my hopes & dreams. Can it get any worse?

HS I can totally relate...I sometimes feel like I should take a ST break so I can be in a good mood and be positive. Don't get me wrong I have gotten a LOT of great perspective here and some excellent, much needed advice BUT if you're having a good day or things are going well at home it's almost like that's not welcome here and I wish it was. I want to talk about how much I love my SO and the fact that his kids are not in the picture all the time and it's been a long time since there's really been any drama with them. The truth is that skids have grown up a lot in the last year and have made strides. I'm too afraid to post our progess because I feel that some would be critical. If I'm in great spirits I don't want to be dragged down and it's easy to be sujected to that on here sometimes. It's the risk you take anytime you post something. I don't always read the negative things because it doesn't exactly help. I hate those ones that tell me, "Well if it were me I never would have done X in the first place." Oh really? So I should get in my time machine and do it over again? I wish! I need something a lot more constructive than that some days. In general though, if I have something that really bothers me and I need to vent...this is the first place I come to!

If that's the case HS, I can post some more happy stories, if you're doing the same thing than at least we can read each other's! It's funny because a month or so ago I posted something about progress that had been made and I did not get ONE SINGLE comment or response from it. I also noticed (on a blog I have since deleted) on a good one that someone had a negative response, something about "Well this is how I would do it" or I got a sarcastic, "Good luck with that!" That's obviously not what I was looking for, nor do I need that. If it's something good that has happened in my life and I get negative responses I find it best to just delete it, I don't want to dwell on it. That being said, I will try to post something positive this week and I will look at yours too!!
