Thank you for the feedback thus far.

Mendingmysoul, I've thought about just transcribing the things that might pertsin to a medical pattern, but there are also a lot of other things in there that I'm not sure I want to eliminate just yet. Maybe I'm not ready to let it go? I don't go over them often and try not to ruminate much, but I'm so tired so much of the time that it can be helpful to go back and essentially "talk to myself" if that makes sense. Last night I pulled out a random journal and there was an entry that dealt with not only something terrible that he did, but my reaction and having to put down a very strong boundary. I think it's probably beneficial to hang onto that so that I don't inadvertently tell myself that it wasn't as bad as it was. Isn't as bad as it still is.

RollercoasterLover, thanks for that idea. I hadn't thought about using a thumb drive and hiding that away. Like I eluded to just a moment ago, I'm really good at doubting myself, so I see a benefit to keeping the information long term, even if it's not looked at. Maybe it's good to have that option for peace of mind. I just really like the idea of not having the physical journals kicking around. I'm like you in that things flow through a pencil for me in a way they don't through a keyboard.

Thank you again for the ideas.
