I could try the notebook thing, I'm a writer so I have a million of those lol I just need to pick on they all like and won't misplace somewhere - that's the main problem with letting them have access to these things, they do have an alarming habit of losing things >< But I shall delve into my collection and find one they want to scribble in, maybe one of the big ones, they're harder to lose.

That sounds like a good idea. If you're worried about loosing it you could have a specific place that it goes when it's not being used because this might reduce that problem.

lol I wish it was that simple! They rarely put anything back where it belongs which is why I spent over an hour looking for one of my reference books last night XD I should attach it to some string or something

Ah, I see how that could make things difficult. Well the string idea is honestly a good one. Maybe that plus a note saying that it's for everyone and to please leave in where it is.

So, remember when I said :

Every healthy relationship has spaces for each person in it to go away and have their own spaces to rant or de-stress. This is one of my places and I won't be able to do it properly if I think someone I know is going around reading my posts after I make them (they probably won't be but I have OCD so once that thought is in there it really won't go away).


Guess what he did. He only told me this yesterday after he did this a week ago. I made him promise not to do it again but I'm not sure whether he will or not, could be reading this right now, but I suppose I have to trust him. Feel kind of violated though.

I'm sorry to hear that Fishtailed. He should respect the fact that you want your own haven to go to without feeling like your privacy is being ignored. While he did cross a line, I guess the only benefit I can think of is if you post about it, he'll know if you're having difficulties coping with something and be able to support and help you but that's the only positive I can see from this situation.

It's not like I don't tell him things but like I post on here to figure out how to tell him these things. He said he knew it was me because he recognised my avatar but that didn't stop him reading everything until he got to the post about me not wanting him to read everything which I would've thought would have been obvious from the fact I was posting on a forum and not talking to him until I had everything straight. Now I'm not sure how much he read/knows but he has expressed a want to do it again but I told him in no uncertain terms not to. Protector is pissed. So I'm thinking the introductions are set back somewhat now.

Yeah. Having an angry protector does not make for a good meeting, especially when it's a trust thing that's been broken which is really important to protectors. I would wait until everyone in the system can forgive him before introducing them to him. If he knows what's good for him, he'll stay away from the forums and your posts to respect your and everyone else in your system's wishes.

He better! B's go-to response for a trust violation is a fist to the balls (or for really bad ones a booted foot to the balls and her favoured boots have chunks of metal on them). I get him wanting to know more about DID in general, he has been reading on other sites, but jeez...

I can understand B's reaction, since I was angered by my brother telling my dad that I go on this sure and what I wrote, but I don't think that will be necessary. At least he's interested and wants to know more. That's good that he wants to be involved but there's being involved and then being a pain in someone's side from getting in their personal space.
