Toonie, a friend of mine started a blog. Anonymously at first, but told me about the blog a year ago. I didn't look at it till recently. What I found was suprising. She wrote about being molested as a child. She's never revealed that to me before. What would you do if you read such an entry? I feel inclined to write to her and ask if there's anything I could do or if she wants to talk about it. But what if she wrote the blog entry thinking that none of her friends would read it? Sometimes I think there are certain issues that friends don't want to speak or talk about. I'll have to thread this issue carefully.
On another note, hubby exploded this weekend as I stupidly once again moan about being homesick and wanting to plan our lives so that we can visit our, oops I mean my friends and family in KL. Does anyone else who live abroad have this problem? It's hard when only my family is back in KL while his is over here in the US. Flying and switching planes all 30 hours probably doesn't seem as attractive to a person who 1) Can only take vacations 7 days at a time, 2) Views visiting relatives and friends as a chore 3) Has to think about his career which doesn't seem like it's going anywhere at the moment.

Yeah, I know what you mean. My situation isn't as bad as yours cos KL's only (!) 13 hours away and we can both take 2 weeks off at any one time, but even so ... and of course when we're in KL I just want to hang out with my brothers & friends ALL the time, whilst he sees it as a break, so doesn't want to spend all HIS time hanging out with people he doesn't know that well.
Sigh.

thanks so much for empathising. sometimes it makes it easier when i know other people are in the same boat.
