Jul 20, 2015 4:35 PM in response to Cuzimthebabyby Rysz,Then don't use the same Apple ID on other devices!
There is no such thing as a "Family Apple ID." Do some research into Family Sharing.

Jul 20, 2015 5:38 PM in response to Ryszby Cuzimthebaby,Apparently there is such thing as our family having 1 ID. I'm sorry I came here to ask for help. Snarky answer isn't needed. I'll figure out how to handle this on my own.

Jul 20, 2015 5:44 PM in response to Cuzimthebabyby deggie,Use the link I set you for using the primary Apple ID for purchases and then have everyone else get their own Apple ID. There is no other way to fix it unless everyone else in the family removes the Apple ID as a valid iMessage receiving account. But at any time they could add it back and see your texts.

Jul 20, 2015 6:02 PM in response to Cuzimthebabyby deggie,Click on the blue letters in my response that says, "Set Up Family Sharing - Apple Support
That will let all of your family have their own Apple IDs for mail, messaging, iCloud etc. but still use a master Apple ID in the App and iTunes Store for purchases. Whoever controls that account can also set it up that purchases must be approved by them if they want although I'm guessing you wouldn't want this. Doing this will solve your problem with text messages. Read through it.
