Busted !!
This is not exactly an RT topic, but I thought I had better post it anyway, considering that it alters my previous posts: I have to confess that I was caught by my mom yesterday.
She unexpectedly walked through the door and over to my chair as I was skype-chatting with one of the play docs here. She asked me, “Who are you chatting with?” At that point, I was cornered. I had no choice but to tell her the truth as to what I was doing. I told the person I was chatting with that I had been caught, and my mom commented on his response of “uh-oh” negatively, as if I was chatting with a child abductor or abuser or something like that, and was told that was a sign that something was amiss. I then told him I had to go, and gave mom my full attention, as did she to me. I then proceeded to tell her about all the times that I had mentioned in my posts not wanting anyone else – especially her or dad –to know what I was doing, and now seemed to understand why he had said “Uh=oh” – it was because he knew that I did not want my parents knowing about it. I then proceeded to tell her about my newfound fetish, and how I had found a group of people who were going through the same thing that I was. What I got in return was a lecture on internet and chat group safety, and how some of the people that I may hook up with online and end up friending might be a bit, shall we say, “Untrustworthy,” and that just because someone says that the have been through or done something does not necessarily mean that they actually have, and even if they have it does not make them an “expert.”
Of course, I already knew all of this. I am EXTREMELY careful about who I become friends with online, whether it be a chat group or even social media. In the case of a chat groups like this one, I always look at the persons profile before I connect with them; if I notice anything out-of-the or4dinary on it, I do not try and connect with them, or become friends what them. If someone friend-requests me on social media that I do not know (Or I do not recall the name), I look and see if we have any “mutual friends”. If so, then I ask that friend if they know “so-and-so,” because they just friend requested me.

My only real “punishment” for this incident was having to cancel my order of four thermometers and Vaseline from amazon (the chocolate-tempering thermometer was shipping from the seller, so it has been getting ready to ship and therefore I could not cancel that one.); that, and the lecture.
She also said that she was worried about my judgment and that I should see someone and talk about it in front of a “real” expert. I think she has forgotten about that part, though, and I do NOT want to remind her. Needless to say, now, I have to post and get on while I am in my room, and at a time when I am positive that she will not come barging in on me (the two best times would probably be while she is tutoring, and the middle of the night) In my opinion, I think that this group is like alcoholics anonymous. There is a reason that the word “ANONYMUS” is in the name. For me, this particular thread of posts and topics is like “medical fetish anonymous.” Only unlike AA where they get together to try and encourage each other to kick the habit, it allows it’s users to relate to others anonymously, if they so choose, who have the same obsession I just don’t think that my mom gets that, and the fact that I have just now gotten to the point where I have become curious as to what is “’down there,” and that if an RT worked when I was a baby why shouldn’t it work now?
Has anyone else ever been “caught” doing something that you didn’t want anyone else to know about? How did you handle it? If you were punished, how so? What did you do, if anything, to make sure it didn’t happen again?
