Busted Blog
As an active blogger, I also read other people’s blogs and online journals. One of them was a peek into a 19-year-old American mother’s life, detailing her, her baby, and her boyfriend’s time together living in France. The journaler had just written about her boyfriend’s mother being diagnosed with uterine cancer, and the journaler then described her and her sort-of-mother-in-law’s somewhat rocky relationship.

I’m not linking the page because it no longer exists, and I just got an email this morning explaining why. This is every online journal keeper’s worst nightmare and it makes me really glad I’ve been relatively cautious about the content I’ve put up here on my blog.

While I usually do not give a rats ass who happens to stumble onto my
online journal, and invite friends family and all others to have a peek
into what I really think of them, I do feel like a tremendous bitch this
time.

P’s mom found my journal today… I’m not sure how, considering that
my journal is not linked to the baby’s webpage where all the pictures are
and is not linked to any site that is LINKED to
the baby pictures site. Anyway. P failed to tell me that while he
and his father are well aware of the limited time his mother may be
facing, as hers is an illness that acts quickly, SHE did not know what
kind of timeframe she was looking at. Fucked up and stupid as it may be
to keep that kind of information from yourself, she did. And this
morning she dicovered, via my online journal, that she is REALLY dying.
And that I think she sucks.

Everyone is mad at me, I feel like shit, and I really think it best that
the journal goes GOODBYE. At least for now, until it’s got a new home and
I’ve got restored confidence that my entries will not bring about any
additional trauma to my family.
