I was just curious of any former couples who are sharing custody have both found their way here. How do you manage to keep your privacy and still communicate with other members? If your ex was here before you were, would you flee or sign up? This isn't happening to me, I was just curious.

I have full custody so I'm not sure if I qualify for this discussion but I would like to put in my two cents. My daughters mother is a single parent also, therefore I believe she has just as much a right to be here. If I stay honest when starting a discussion, or when replying to one or a blog then I really have nothing to worry about. As for anything that I might think I want to keep private, the awesome founders of this site gave me IM and gave me the ability to send private messages to my friends. I can also if I choose set my profile to private.
I have actually told my sons father about the site and I hope he joins. We could keep our profiles private... but who wouldn't want to tell every single parent you know about the great support you can find here at iheart!
I sure hope he's not here. If he were, I'd probably flee. I consider this my sanctuary. I do keep my responses very honest toward my ex just in case he ever finds this site. There is nothing on here that I would not tell him directly, but sharing this site would be too close for comfort for me.

I'm lucky that way mine would never find a computer let alone spend any time on a website like this he'd only look up women or trucks if he ever did get online. lol
I think unless if I had something to hide I would not care. He says he could not use a computer to save his life but who know that could be another lie.

Let's just put it this way...My ex has recently called me and asked me how to:
a) Cut and paste using a Word document; and
b) Add an attachment to an email
Me thinks it'll be about 2065 before he discovers blogs, forums and any other types of Internet chat capabilities. But you all enjoy him when he does! ;)

The mind is complicated thing, and we tend to fight logic with emotion. At one point, we recognize that we need to do certain things, the next... our emotions kick in and contradict what we logically thought.
I have been fighting this with my Ex....
