I started a memoir years ago. I could never publish it! It's not because of embarassment to myself but that my family would be utterly hurt by the information in it! I am a daddy's girl. I could never bear for him to read, after all these years, what I have denied to let him know in full detail. You know what I mean. Every now and then I will return to working on it. Untill I married my hubby I held myself in a very dark place, not letting go of the past, It defined me. My hubby saved me from that. However whenever I am going thru a particularly bad time. I will return to the memoir. I never read what I had wrote before. It's too dark. I guess I kinda use it as a journal of sorts, Personal therapy.
