Blogging about your ex?

There's been a bit of controversy brewing in my world. Some folks don't care one way or another, other folks think it's the worst thing that can happen. Wrong or right, good or bad, I'm going to state a few facts about the subject. I can safely say that I've been open, honest, revealing and lay everything out on the table when I write hubs here. I never mean to offend anyone with my honesty, although some folks may beg to differ. I write about the breakup and my attempted suicide from my heart.

For those of you who don't know the back story, feel free to catch up at my hub here - http://hubpages.com/hub/My-Reflection-of-Personal-Growth-and-Death-of-a-Failed-Relationship

Since I've been out of the loony bin, I've written quite a few emotional articles regarding traumatic breakup. Some folks may not care - some folks might. Someone might read what I wrote and seek help. Some might not. I keep several blogs on different subjects. The articles I write here are completely different and within the hubpages guidelines than some of the "rants" on other blogs.....blogs where I've named names, places of employment, financial situations, ect. It may be wrong and immature to write about that, however, one thing that folks don't seem to understand is the fact that my former love has slapped me with a restraining order, forcing me to appear in court - because I have violent tendencies? NO! I've never so much as raised my voice at her. Sure, I understand the fact that I almost died on our bed due to attempted suicide, but that's no reason to hit someone with a restraining order.

After scathing e-mails from her to one of my friends, I assume that everything she ever professed to me about feelings, compliments, ect was one big lie. Repressed emotions, resentment have got the best of her - I feel the need to have my say.

My friend, for whom I have the greatest amount of respect has agreed to disagree with me. She has been a GREAT friend and I always hold her in the highest regard....wrote a blog post about me about this subject...she doesn't agree with my way of blogging.


So I have to respectfully disagree with her take. I know that she wants the best for me and I realize that she only has my best interest at heart.....but never once has she asked me why I've written the things I've written there....amongst other places. I don't know why she's concerned with what would happen to my ex or feelings she might have. I'm angry about the end of the relationship. My friend should be on MY side, not my ex's. I've told my friend and other people, that if they don't like what I'm writing, then don't go to that page and read it. My friend feels that I might try to attempt again if she speaks her mind to me....but that's not really on my agenda too much anymore. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I'm leaps and bounds better than I was before.

So what's your opinion of it? Don't I have a right to feel angry as part of moving through the 5 stages of grief and use my blog to vent? Or should I just hold it all in like before.....and we know what happened when I did that before.....
