Do your parents know about RYL?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if your parents know about RYL, or if they know you have an account, etc. Mine dont, so I was just wondering about everyone else :confused:

Hi there :)
I go to lots of ryl meets and my main friendship group is people on here and my parents are incredibly nosy, so it was easier for me to tell them that I frequent a site for crazy people, but I have never told them the name of the site, and have expressly forbade them from trying to find it.



No other sadness in the world would do

Nope.

None of my family know anything about RYL or my SH.

Nope. No one IRL knows I'm on here.
Whenever someone enters my room when I'm on RYL, I always quickly close it down and look suspicious. They must think I look at porn all day.

This kinda.
My parents know I've found a support website, not told them the name and I'd like to think that they wouldn't try and find me on here. Maybe 4 years when my SH first started they might have, but now I'm getting proper support, I don't think they're as worried.
When we had the first Uni Student thread meet, I just vaguely mentioned I was going to Birmingham for the day so I couldn't babysit (didn't realise how odd visiting a city by myself would seem to them) and when they asked just said meeting uni students from the support website.
I'm fine with them knowing that I have a support network as I hope it makes them less worried, but as soon as they try to talk about how I am, I shut off.

My mum found my old RYL account a few years ago. And stalked my R/V thread somehow. So I had to leave the site for a long time.
She never said I wasn't "allowed" to be on here, in fact, she never actually approached me directly about it. She did tell the hospital doctor though, who asked me about RYL. Ugh.

I don't know if she knows I came back. However, when I went to the London meet in July, she did ask me a lot about where I knew these people from :P I just said "the internet" and agreed when she asked if they were "friends-of-friends" on Facebook...

I don't want my parents to know. Because I get uncomfortable when my mum starts reading what I write here.

'Cause I've heard it said that every mushroom cloud has a silver lining.

Only one person I know is aware that I'm on this site, but I know she has never looked on here. I told her after a few too many drinks!

I'd never tell my parents. There are some things I talk about on here that they don't know about and I don't ever want them to know, so I like that this place is a little secret



When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

My parents don't know.... but then I am 24 and live on my own!! But no-one in real life knows I'm here, although everyone knows about the SH etc.

My parents know about my SI and about RYL.
I don't tend to keep much, if anything, from them
I think when I told them about RYL they were happy I'd found something else to help me

thanks for all of the replies. I agree with not wanting you parents to see what you've wrote here. Sounds just like me!

My Mom knows I talk to people online (RYL) but the only reason she uses her computer is to check her email and her bank online, she doesn't do much else, so I doubt she knows this place exists. But I've not lived at home for a while so she's not as close as she was when I used to live there and use her PC.

I'm in my 20s now and 2+ years in recovery. BUT when i was a teen, still living @ home, and still "active" . . . NO they did not know. The family computer [the only one in the house] was a desktop in the living room, so i had to be careful about when i was on, but i don't believe they ever really noticed.
