I do it right here when triggered. Letting it out is good therapy. It only takes one confirmation that someone understands and was listening to know I'm not alone with my experience.
Yes it's a selective decision.
I got banned from my grieving site for giving a soap box admin a piece of my mind so I share here. There are more understanding folks here than interfaced there.

@SwampFlower Some things will only harm you more if you put them out there?
As a parent of a kid with serious trauma, sometimes I feel guilty about discussing my own issues, which are very mild by comparison. What doesn’t seem like a big deal to some people, sometimes is still a big deal to the person who experienced it. We all have our shit, and it’s important to remember we don’t usually know what someone else has been through. Listen without judgment, and be kind.

@RockerDad You deserve to be heard too.
When you compare your life or worries to others who have it worse, it may make you feel like you have no right to voice out your hurts and issues because they have it worse. But see, we humans are not built to bottle up feelings. And who are we to judge our own sufferings as inferior? Don't invalidate your own feelings or make them insignificant if letting them out is what you need to heal.
I do know that there will always be things more important than what we're feeling. But feelings are part of us. To disregard them would be taking away our own rights and bringing ourselves more suffering.
Take care to you and your kid.

Some things should go to your grave with you. Some to protect yourself. And some to protect others..Unburdening yourself so often means burdening others.😷
