Posters you still think about

There's a poster who I'm sure is still active, but she's had several threads about her abusive husband - he sexually assaults her and emotionally abuses the children. She gets close to leaving, and I think made it to a refuge at one point, but goes back. I think of her often

Me too - such a wonderful woman.

A poster a few years ago. Married, no dc. Her h was clearly controlling and abusive. He had totally isolat€d her - from her family, she worked for him so no financial independence etc. he even dictated when she went to bed, what she ate etc. over many threads and name changes she came to realise. Her first escape attempt was to sign up for teacher training. She did it secretly at first but he nixed it and manage to convince her she would be terrible at it. Then a bit later she was poised to leave. Even found a flat. And then she went silent and I never came across her again. I think about her A LOT.

there’s a similar situation happening currently with a poster and I think it’s why I find myself ridiculously invested. I feel like the other one might never have got away and maybe this woman might.

ps I am pretty sure Laqueen is still her. Different name.

The poster with the duck pond and the little duck houses and ducklings. I think some stinky geese tried to join in at one point.

I loved those posts and following the duck exploits. I want to say one of the ducks was Eggwina I think?

I was thinking about the missing clock chains post the other day too. They must have joined the ironing board from another poster from years ago.

Do you?

I'm the opposite. I found her rude and contrary

Gotta say I can't buy Cumberland sauce without thinking of crumbs 😆

And I first tried it because of her too.

That was some stellar trolling with some wonderful fantasies.

That Christmas eve when her DD was coming home and the captain of the ferry delayed embarkation because she was a trainee Dr and was late. And he announced it to the passengers so when she boarded, the entire ferry clapped her out of gratitude for the trainee Dr and the captain presented her with drinks and Mince pies.

I remember one like that. To do with doing things around the house then denying it, people suggested fitting cameras, I often think of this one.

I remember the foster mother you're talking about. I think she was called EarthMotherImNot. I was in floods reading that thread. I hope the foster daughter is thriving with her adoptive family.

@AnonymousWasAWoman was a favourite of mine I've not seen in a while, but may have just name changed.

Somerville: who was widowed then met a lovely new man and fell in love and married.
She was the most beautiful writer and it was a beautiful story.

LaQueen: because the boasting used to make me cringe so hard.

A very old and personal one: Quootiepie. She was very young and sweet with a shitty husband.

Fluffydressinggown.
She struggled so much with her mental health difficulties but was kind and compassionate to others always. Sadly her difficulties became too much for her. I remember her.

A poster who said her husband punched a freshly baked cake that she'd left cooling on the side. And he denied doing it. It was so sinister and threatening in an indirect way, I hope she got away from him in the end.

Ps happy mothers day Pamela x

@Nousernamesleftatall biscuits and bandages for me too.

And posting about how much they miss themselves on here 🤣. Tragic.

😂

Definitely Lesley. I actually attended her funeral with TwitterQueen. We lost so many of the Lacies from the old cancer threads :(
There was also purpleunicorn who also had ovarian cancer. Her posts were also super helpful and honest. Also dearly missed.

eatshitderek was hilarious - then outed by someone rudely and changed names.

Yes same @OurfriendsintheNE Pamela of WilsonMilson thread. What a star. I still think about this courageous and beautiful lady and the family she left behind. Pamela is amazing and really left a mark on here and with me xxx

I remember this poster. She changed names all the time but it was so obvious. She was convinced she or her dc were about to die all the time. I always hoped it was a troll but I suspect it was someone with extreme anxiety. Posting here was not helping

I was just this morning thinking about a poster and hoping she was having a wonderful Mother’s Day.

She posted a couple of years ago at Christmas about visiting Santa. She had three older teenager children - one with severe SEN. She said that she was just going to take that one to see Santa as they still believed, but her other two insisted they came as well as it’s what they did as a family. That really got to me.

Poster - if you see this I hope you’re having a wonderful Mother’s Day!

slightly less sentimental… the poster who made an owl noise at her colleague when arguing about Yogurt will live rent free in my head forever.

Or rather, GentleOtter (sorry, was typing with the wrong hand before) — she had a remote farm in Scotland and they went through a lot of stuff. Around the same period as Riven, iirc

So was I. That was so hard.

BloodyWhiteCat vanished after a thread didn’t have the requisite fawning and exclamations of what a wonderful person she was.

Bluntness should have been named Rudeness.

I think of her a lot still and I am not one to remember posters particularly. RIP
