Welcome Calypso. You can tell your story or not tell it, that is completely up to you, there is no requirement either way at SR. I've never posted my full story although my classmates (March 2013) and some SR members probably know it from what I post here. We are a pretty unshockable lot, between us we have covered the spectrum of poor behaviour.
You have many people to help and support you here, I am just one.
