I am a New Member at Similar Worlds

I posted for several years on the Experience Project under the name Brainyblond. I deleted my 51 stories about my somewhat bizarre life, including my miserable childhood as a red diaper baby at the height of the Cold War red scare in the US. I feared the reactions of trolls and others who did not believe me, as well as the reactions of people from my own backgrounds who would believe me but be angry that I told my stories. Also, those I hoped would read it- - others like myself and friends- -did not and I felt badly about the lack of response. I am not blond anymore. I am 71 years old and have gone mostly gray though I put a blond tint over it. I have decided to post here because I am still hoping other red diaper babies (those born to, or adopted by, dedicated communist parents) especially the unhappy ones, will respond to some of my posts. And I like the feel of the community here.
