The move to my new blogsphere 'home' seems to have gone OK, and I'm pleased to say that some of the followers of my old blogs have kindly found their way to the new place - thanks very much to Mark, Brian and Daniel.
I had a chat with my daughter last night about what had happened, and why I'd done what I did. She's a bright, and, for her age, mature person, so she understands now that it wasn't an issue of trust or mistrust, or me treating her like an ignorant child, but more an issue of wanting to protect her and her mum, and, in all honesty, myself. I've referred to this tangentially before, though never explicitly, but my daughter is aware, to a limited extent, of my 'hidden' side - she hasn't had any of the 'gory details' thrust upon her, but she asked me a specific question a few months ago in connection with a picture (non-pornographic, I hasten to add) I'd culled from the internet, and I didn't want to lie to her, so she is, to some extent, one of the two people I'm 'out' to IRL. I have no doubt that many people would say that to have involved someone so young is utterly wrong, and I do have misgivings about it myself, but, ultimately, done's done, and I can't go back and pretend that I was making it up. Fortunately, she's been absolutely great about it, and very supportive - I'm lucky to have someone like her in my life.
Love & best wishes to all
