Threads that have stayed with you

There are so many trolls I always thought the one about a lady finding her long lost family through dna was odd. She said she had an inappropriate relationship with her brother and eventually cut ties with them all. The very next day there was another poster saying she found her father and sister through dna and it was causing family drama.

Gojettergirl and her ds.
So heartbreaking

She’s still around. She’s got a very distinctive writing style I can spot a mile off.

Ages ago there was a thread about random things that had got posters into trouble as children. Even now, every so often, I get the uncontrollable giggles remembering the poster who had gotten a row for eating all the buttons off the TV remote control!!

A lighthearted one that I enjoyed was

Badger and rice

it was just hilarious

It was the funniest thing I’ve ever read on here and it still makes me laugh now, I can’t find the thread anymore but I remember absolutely creasing with laughter, and the humiliation that poor woman must have felt!!

Out of everything on this thread, this has made me laugh out loud!

Blortnick

There was one from about 19 years ago where a posters husband was killed in a car crash, it was awful, I think the poster might still be around.
More recently the water gun at the park thread and the Maui thread

There was a post a year or 2 ago called cringiest thing you’ve ever said or something like that. One poster said that for some unknown reason was with her boyfriend’s parents who didn’t like her, they asked her a question and she just replied ‘blortnick’ then stood staring at them. She had no idea why she said it or what she was trying to say. I remember me and my husband absolutely howling with laughter.

Yes, Pamela. She was an inspiration.

Not one thread, but I sometimes think about all the women who have posted about wanting to leave an abusive husband who has told her that he'll sue for full custody of the kids and he'll get it because he'll tell everyone she's mentally ill and the courts will believe him.

I hope they are all living happily without their kids without their kids' dad who was totally bullshitting about it because he wouldn't cope with or want full custody of the kids in a million years.

I’m so intrigued by this nightclub man one, if anyone has a link to it (or can summarise what happened!)

Gosh, just remembered another one, that was probably unremarkable to most:

A posters DH was foaming at the mouth at the way the BBC had done some public opinion snapshots about the thoughts of individuals including a kid called Max, who gravely gave his considered opinion garnered in his 8 years of existence.

"WHAT WOULD MAX THINK?"

Can't stop shouting it myself now, whenever the BBC asks random person on a market stall what they think of the Indian Space programme/inflation in Moscow/Fracking in California.

Haven't RTFT so not sure if these have been mentioned.

This was probably 10 years ago or so. A poster was an alcoholic with a severely ill DH. She was struggling so hard to stop drinking because her DH needed her to care for him. She'd vow to stop, we'd encourage her but a day or so later she'd say she'd started drinking. I remember her because at one time she lived near where I had lived in the US so we shared memories of that place and other places we'd both visited. She abruptly stopped posting.

Seoladair's threads, although I believe she's still here under a different name.

A poster whose wealthy husband was vilely abusive and controlling. She managed to leave him and we continued communicating via PM as she walked her 'road' to a new life. She had met a new man and was pregnant by him when she must have deregg'd from MN as all her posts and PMs disappeared.

I hope they are all doing well.

I think some people are referring to posts by someone called SecretJob, or something similar, but can't find the original thread, so perhaps it got deleted?

Yes ! Was the husband Dick ?

Someone up thread said it, not me!!

I was upset and very invested in her thread

Was that Anne, Barbara and Colin or similar pseudonyms?

The one where a poster wanted to treat her friends to a holiday as they had helped her through a serious illness and the husband of one wanted to join them . Turned out the friend had a very controlling husband.,

What you’ve been through is horrific and you’re incredibly brave. I’m so pleased to hear you’re happy and safe now. Xxx

BiscuitsandBandages. I’ll never forget her courage and heartbreak.

@sallyanne33 and others who mentioned me , thank you for remembering.
The colour of the toothbrush was because I wasn't allowed anything red.
I'm doing well, can't quite believe it's nearly five years.
Took me three years to get all dental work done due to the forced bulimia.
Nightmares due to the abuse still happen occasionally but certainly not as bad now.
I'm still in the same safe area but no longer in the safe house. I'm still in the job I took a month after arriving here.
I'm happy on my own , living a very quiet life.
I couldn't have done it without the support from all the love on here that day to spur me on .

Red toothbrush.. I'm doing well . It's nearly five years now .

Don't know if anyone else has commented, but she's still posting away on here.

Me too 😞
