AIBU staying in a facebook group?

I have had a quick name change!

I'm a member of a large facebook group for natural parents who are also science aware. This group has been a fantastic resource and support network but its all gone wrong. The people running the page all have their own issues and are ganging up on other members for what seems like no reason.

I have thought long and hard about leaving the group because it seems like playground bullying but i just cant seem to do it.

They are great when you need your hand holding and will help you with any problem you could think of. They have a fantastic support network of Nutella addicts and people with difficulties like ADHD and depression I'm not sure there there is a better community.

BUT posting in it can be like stepping onto a nest of vipers. People having mental health problems can be kicked out for no good reason OR supported with people being sent round to check on them or taxis being called and paid for by the group when fleeing a husband. It just depends if you are in with the right crowd or not.

There are many LGBTQ members and there are a lot who are in relationships or who have experimented with eachother and this is causing tension on the group.

I cant seem to leave but i can't seem to stay and I don't even know these people in real life.

Natural parents? Nutella addicts? Science aware? What does this all mean? Why stay with a community which is unkind, unreliable and inconsistent? There are better places out there to get help, support and friendship from!

I'm trying to imagine what a Nutella-related initiation ritual would look like.

And now I just want some on toast.

TornFromTheInside · 13/06/2018 21:18

Nutella is the word, spread the word!

PiggyPoos · 13/06/2018 21:18

Run run run for the hills OP.

If you want facebook drama - try some of the more US heavy crochet groups, particularly crochet-a-long ones before it actually starts. They go fucking insane... with sharp pointy objects to hand! *

😂😂 just peed pants a little.

Abonimantilavation · 13/06/2018 21:16

I've heard they once kicked someone out for using the word "moist"

elephantscanring · 13/06/2018 21:15

What is natural parenting? What is being science aware? Is Nutella addiction a thing? Blimey.

OkMaybeNot · 13/06/2018 21:15

You aren't going to find it.

SANP Scientology And Nutella People?

I don’t know why you choose to remain in a group with people you care so little about. I don’t get it at all, just leave.

The P in SANP is actually a T and an A run together.

SAN + TA = SATAN!

Scienceawarenaturalparent · 13/06/2018 21:12

Cat bastards covered in Nutella are worshipped by SANP

I left my house at 6.30 this morning and am just on the train home. It’s been a very long and demanding day.

I think I’m hallucinating about Nutella and Cults for Scientific Cats.
