I think I may have lost a second friend due to my blogging. I can understand how I lost the first one. The second one was a friendship I was trying to rebuild, and said too much about. Now, I'm getting the silent treatment. Will it ever end? Who knows?
Most of my readers know that my life has been an open book. Too bad that I often forget that other people are not like me. In the case of one person, it is something she feels I should have learned from prior experience. In this case, another friend would agree with this person. If I could do a Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa, I'd do so. Yet, that will not erase the past.
Does this second person have a right to complain? Probably. Yet, I never meant to get her upset. Seems like no matter what I do, things come out the wrong way these days.

When I used to talk about the former cruise partner (FCP) in the previous blog, I said more than a friend should say about another. I couldn't shut down my old blog quick enough. And with her screaming, I didn't. I lost a friend forever. Yet, I don't miss her that much. There was way too much drama in her life for me to deal with. But this still leaves me with one important question:
If I'm losing friends because of this blog, why am I still writing it?

As an outside observer, I'd say that what you write about people you know - especially if critical or questioning - is best left unsaid on a blog that the world can read. Sue x

You are probably right.
I just found out that my former cruise partner reads this blog occasionally. She is one of those friends I lost because of the blog. Not much I can do about that now.
In the case of the second friend, I was writing about my side of an issue for which she is super sensitive. (I only wish I could know what is really going through her head.)
