Bird- I think one of the reasons I divorced my first husband was because he read my journals. I have been journalling since the 5th grade- kept them all but when times got bad with him- he was always looking for things of mine to see if the seperation I wanted was because of another man- no I was just screaming to be free, to reconnect with the me I lost to pacify him- so I destroyed ALl those journals- now what I have left is my journals fromJuly 1st 1991 when I left til now-the difference between that marriage and the blessed one I'm in now is that my journal sits on my coffee table, my purse isn't hidden and there is trust and the certainty that if we need to talk something over we do and our privacies are never violated
