Boyfriend Question (please help)

[CopterDad]

I admire all of the ladies on this board that have opened up their past in order to help you.

That you felt the need to create a sock puppet to hide your regular screen name, not so much.

Now, take the advice and fix yourself. Like I and others have said, get legal advice on this one.

I'm sorry, CopterDad, but I must say that I understand totally and completely why this poster thought a sock puppet necessary in this situation. Unless you have walked in those shoes, which I have, it's not easily understandable. Shelters are hidden and anonymous for valid reasons, and identities are hidden and protected for the same reasons.

I had to answer questions that implied that I (a) liked what was happening (b) brought this on myself (c) wanted attention. Nothing could have been further from the truth; it was random and escalated into something from a horrible nightmare. And that is all I will say; no more salacious details.

I do not want the OP to think that she cannot seek help because she will be shamed/blamed/scorned/ridiculed/judged. She started in a venue that she felt comfortable in, and she's making progress, and I wish her the best.

Harsh words, perhaps, but that is my truth.

I will say what I said when there was a thread in, I believe, the Delta Sigma Theta forum about a very personal situation:

Greekchat is not the place. People need to think long and hard before they turn Greekchat into a place where people can come for certain discussions.
