Hi Klotus

You could select a member on the Board that you can relate to.Send your message to that person is a "PM" No one else can read the message but that person so you would not get a variety of responses. PM can be sent by going to the profile of the person you would like to PM and click on send message

Good Luck

no but you can ad something that makes it not sound like your situation.

um like well meetings in Missouri, in this little town.....not your state.

If I might add, you can describe your qualifier as just that, a qualifier or an AH loved one. As Deb said, change your state, age, and speak in more of a general way. Perhaps you may want to change your screen name as well.

Everything on this board is free access over the internet. One time I was looking up something my sponsor told me a few years back. So I googled it a couple of months back and it brought me to MIP when I shared it on this board in 2006. I thought whoa, keep that in mind.

That was a part of why I changed my screen name and didn't use my full name when registering. Now nobody knows me by this nickname in my little area and I have less worries about it! And my picture tells nothing.

Hello again KL - I sometimes wish my ex-ah would read what i have written here, heck, the major reason I hoped he would go to AA was so that he could learn how to LISTEN. Just shut his mouth, stop denying, stop justifying, stop explaining HIS side and just listen. Hear someone else's point of view and maybe, just maybe, realize that he might not be completely right.

I dated someone who took it ever so wrong that I had a virus on my computer that, no matter what I did, I could not remove the three desktop icons and links - one was a slot machine, one was a computer cleaner and the last was a dating site (i never searched for anything that caused it and I ended up having to take my computer back to ground zero to wipe them out, sheesh!). Now, after enough Al-anon, i would be able to tell him that I do not have to JADE anything, period. My current ex-ah used to take it wrong that I visited a webforum that also hosted several dating sites - I liked, and still enjoy, reading the rants and raves some people choose to post.

Today I think I would consider it grounds for not going forward in a relationship. If I cannot be free to look at whatever I choose as long as it isn't illegal, I don't want a relationship with him.

Just my opinion, for whatever it's worth.
