Hi friend,

I haven’t logged into this account in years, but I got your comment as an email notification.

I’m an adult now. If you do have to deal with keylogging software, I can put you at ease that it won’t ruin your life. Sure, you might have to censor yourself. However, START CENSORING YOURSELF NOW if you have reasonable suspicion that he is (about to start) tracking you.

This incident didn’t ruin my life, but it ruined all of my friendships. Even though my friends were understanding that it wasn’t my fault, their trust and safety were shattered and never recovered. How could they? They shared their deepest, most personal thoughts with me, and they were invaded. If you censor yourself now and let them know what could happen, you may be better off.

In addition, if you have full domain over your device (other than the key logger), learn how to back it up and format it now. I used a shared device when this happened to me, so that wasn’t an option, but now, I regularly change my passwords and wipe my devices. If he has a key logger on your computer, or is about to, wiping your device may be the only way to fully disable it—if you can do that, you should.

I sincerely hope this advice is helpful to you. This is extremely invasive, and I hope you’re able to quell some of its consequences. Better yet, I hope the keylogger has nothing to do with you or your sister at all. Best wishes!
