It seems that even my private posts offend people.

I am sorry if anybody feels I am deluded, sad or superficial. I do not like to be the object of 'derision', and I most certainly do not 'need help'.

Everybody should deal with pain in the only way they know. I am a basic creature. My soon-to-be ex-husband is a sophisticated individual who feels deeply and writes well. I had not read his blog for a while, and when I did I found comments there (apart from his own j'accuse) that made me want to fold my own blog and disappear.

I shan't. But perhaps I ought to stop writing for a while. I am not seeking attention; for me writing is a necessary part of my life and I can do so marking my posts 'only me'.

I do believe, however, that I have a few friends here, and it has been comforting to feel good enough about them to trust them with my words, deeds and thoughts.

I have removed myself from the friends' list of the particular blogger who feels so strongly about (or should I say against) me. Not out of spite, not at all. I just don't want to elicit that kind of reaction, and I am genuinely sorry to be so despised.

As for the other blogger... Well, she has conjured up such a personal crusade against me that whatever she may say now really does not matter.
