On the one hand, the issues I've been thru and struggled with, the demons I've slayed or the ones still lurking might give strength, comfort or hope to someone going thru something similar. On the other hand, there are always two sides, my parents have a right to their privacy and maybe it's just too painful, too fresh a wound to slice open in such a public way.

I absolutely agree with this. Having said that, I do draw the line at having to read everything others say. My own brother has such rabid political views that I do not read them.

Of course we can always choose not to hit the publish button. I've got to admit though, something I can't help myself. I have to "let it out" in order to feel better.

Some have it - some don't. I agree with you on both counts - politics and religion. As I have said a few times in the past couple months, I am going through a crisis that I would love to shout about -- but have to bite my tongue. I believe the reason for this is that we want our on-line friends to know what is happening and we covet the support but it is too raw, too personal and could offend some others.
