Page 5 | Posters you still think about

Proof I probably spend too much time on here but does anyone else have posters they still think about every now and again? Mine is the Australian poster whose son was in the abusive relationship and her many threads about helping him get out of the relationship and realizing she was toxic. Can’t find the threads at all now but I hope her and her son are still doing well! Does anyone else have stand out posters or threads that stick in their minds?

There was a poster struggling with her mental health, who was very kind and supportive to others. However whenever she wrote abour how appalling mental health services were, or the actual cruelty and neglect she suffered from them, the threads would go horrible and often get deleted. What happened was a few posters understood and joined in the conversation, whilst most posters went mad, being incredibly defensive of services, saying the other posters were making things up etc. No compassion for someone trying to survive lifelong trauma with no real access to professional help.

We got to know each other outside of MN.
I never met her in person, but I attended her funeral after she killed herself, after too long of being blamed and neglected by services.

Sometimes I wish all those empathy-deficient posters who dismissed her situation as made up could see and understand what cruelty they defended.

FluffyDressingGown? If that poster, I saw supportive posters

That Girlmum21 or something like that anyway

Because she was a massive turd

I think about her and her family often and hope her boys are doing ok.

I do too. I often think of her.

I’ve never forgotten OpheliaRose either and I hope life is treating her well. Some say she was a troll but I don’t believe that. The pain she was in emotionally jumped off the screen and could be felt. It was awful.

There was a poster with Lavender in her name. Came back from abroad away from her abusive husband. He wanted to sleep on her floor to see the children.

Was it France she was in?

And I think there was another lady with Lavender in her name who’d been living in Dubai.

I had a few nice exchanges with the lady who’d been living and working in France and if her life took an awful turn I’d like to know how she is.

He wasn't smart in covering his tracks. The charity he fundraiser for no longer exists and never actually practiced. Whole strings of failed businesses and extra marital affairs. Near enough bankrupt. Lie after lie.

Did Caroline actually exist?
I never followed the threads but have read about it on reddit the whole thing was very strange.

@Nomchangebeaureau Yes I think it was Opheliarose. We had very similar threads going at the time with similar circumstances.

Yes I remember both of you, I was a lurker back then

I think the lemon drizzle cake thread was by someone called Marmalade Watkins.

One I remember but don't know if was real/troll was a woman who husband had been injured in a crash? And when in hospital she discovered an affair just as they were about to move house? Sycamore 4 trees was her name I think?

Or the lady in Switzerland who was dying and her husband was now with her friend. She wrote so beautifully and I think she got offered a job which ended up a scam? Or I maybe mixing 2 posters together? 🤔

That second one is five years left. I mentioned her up stream in this thread. She's lovely.

Who was the poster ages ago who wrote many eloquent posts about the challenges of caring for a disabled child, living on a very low income? She was invited to 10 Downing Street, to meet David Cameron I think?
Is she still around, or did the high profile of it all get a bit too much for her?
Still think of her

It was Riven. She was one of the first post to I noticed when I came on here. I have thought about her often.

An earlier poster mentioned Detroit from the FWR board. She has a blog, I just checked and she is still blogging although clearly has health issues. PM me if you’d like the link

@TheFormidableMrsC
thanks for the update - do you have a link to the thread, or the posters name?
it was always a delight to read the updates, not su.re how I lost track of the thread

Cupoftea and her lovely daughter Beatrice who sadly died.

The lady who's daughter allidha died of leukemia. Her daughters favourite song was Call me maybe. I can't hear that song without thinking about that dark haired 9 yr old little girl.

I hope both ladies are having a gentle day today.

I remember these two as well. Such sad times. 😢

@LordSnot the pregnant woman with the 2 kids from the rich ex who was trying to turn them against her was outed as a troll

The one I'm thinking of was called out many times for contradictions and inconsistencies but MN never did anything. Last thread I saw the baby was a few months old and her new bloke was predictably being useless.
