This is following my post of “What is blogging now” and now I’d like to talk about how real blogging can cause a lot of problems.

Many real bloggers blog about how their personal life is and generally rant about whatever is on their mind. I have seen some people lose jobs, lose loved ones, and ruin their lives through blogging.
This could be a risk that keeps bloggers going and a way to live on the edge… Or it could be their only real way of expressing themselves in their own way.

I know for a fact that my blogging has caused a lot of problems in my life… I still have not seen the brunt of it yet… But without it I really don’t think id be here today. It has been such a good way to get my emotions and built up anger out without really causing any immediate damage.

I hope one day a lot of the issues my blog has caused will one day turn around and my children will be able to see that I have been thinking of them and maybe my ex’s will be able to see that I am sorry for any problems I may have caused.

I also hope that if everything does turn to shit even worse than it is now, that maybe people will be able to read up on how things have gone. I have many posts that are not yet published , they are on scheduled posts in case this does happen. Hopefully they will never see the light of day. This is one big reason I have paid for 5 years of hosting and will soon backdate my .com for 10 years.

I am not a drinker, smoker, drug user, and I try my best to keep myself from acting out… I guess blogging and writing (no matter how good or bad I am at it)  is a new way for people like me to destress…. Well I hope so.

I hope that this is what blogging will be used for more and more… and we will get to see people change their lives and see them go through the life changing events…. Or just watch them show us their views and let us debate them.

This is one of the key selling points for any real blogger! You can watch them evolve and see how their lives change. It is sort of like a Reality TV show… but you really do get to see what these people think…

I know many bloggers who I talk to wish sometimes they never published their real name… I know I have wished this many time (And will lots more). Some have managed to do this and have become really famous for it (i.e. girl with a one track mind), but it can backfire as when you get the fame more and more people want to know the real you.

If you have had any bad effects from blogging let me know Id love to share all mine but I am sure id just cause lots more through sharing them.

New laws in the UK have threatened parents who are blocking child access and ruining their childrens lives. This will come as a breath of fresh air to the many groups set up for the countless parents and family members who never see their children or grandchildren.

Sadly this has had some bad feedback from so called experts (Anthony Douglas) from Cafcass, who are suposed to advise the courts in what they they think is the best interest for the children.

‘I’m not convinced unpaid work will change the way people think or behave,’

‘It might be the right thing to do in a handful of cases. But what we really need is more specialist family support services with counselling for both children and parents.’

So not only does he think this should not be used, he is trying to keep Cafcass in the spotlight and give him and his workers more paid work. Cafcass was given the worst grade in a report by Ofsted and was told they were putting children at risk. They have been linked to countless forced adoptions and are one of the main subjects my readers email me about.

Harry Fletcher, spokesman for the probation union, Napo, said it could see thousands of people, mainly women, criminalised. ‘It could mean that distraught mothers do unpaid work alongside persons convicted of criminal offences,’ he warned. ‘It would conflict with childcare responsibilities.’

I love the choice of words here “It could mean that distraught mothers do unpaid work” like the other parents or grandparents are not DISTRAUGHT enough with not seeing their children or grandchildren! These “women” knowingly BREAK court orders and should have consequence! Right now they can break the orders and have NO (Thats right ZERO) consequences for breaking them… Apart from a judge Read more »
