You are definitely not the only one to odnper these things. I am constantly thinking about this. In my blog, I omit lots of stories to protect others. Or I change their names. Or I ask for their permission before I post. On a bigger scale (my life story), I've come to the conclusion that some of the people in my story need to be dead before I can publish. I am always so intrigued by autobiographies because they expose so much. I really admire Maya Angelou's style. I feel like she simply told her story from her perspective, harboring no bitterness. Maybe that's the key. No bitterness. Just truth. I also got that impression from Billy Graham's. Boy he didn't paint Bob Jones in a very good light. But that taught me that people have to take responsibility for their behavior. And if they never apologize, that's exactly how the story gets told.
