People sometimes write about the physical and emotional abuse in their families. Women may tell stories about their experiences with husbands or fathers who were or are abusive. People talk about financial hardships, failures, difficulties, family trials, and all types of problems.

It is surprising that people are willing to share such private details of their lives. Some people share their innermost secret feelings with total strangers. That might be easier than talking with friends and family about such matters.

It is normal for people to want to hear about the trials and hardships that others have had because it shows that they are not alone in their struggles. People might feel solace in the fact that others share the same types of problems which they have faced or are currently facing.

Sometimes telling people about personal problems can be therapeutic. Opening up and sharing personal and private matters could be good for a person. It can help with maintaining good mental health by not keeping those matters bottled up inside. Medium is a good outlet.

To those who do open up and write about such personal aspects of your lives, THANK YOU. It must be difficult to share, but you are probably helping others who may be experiencing the same types of trials in their lives. You also make for interesting reading.
