To the ladies who were on the Reading- Maidenhead train last night at about 11

[SittingAtARailwayStation]

If you are on Mumsnet I just want to say thank you.
The young lady sat in front of me who turned around to ask if I was ok.
To the 2 glamorous sisters opposite me. You had been to see the Take That film.
You offered me a pick & mix.

I was in a terribly upset state (see my other thread sorry I haven’t replied on there it was a bad day).
You said ‘ things always look different in the morning ‘

Thank you ladies. Things are certainly clearer in the morning. You all managed to make smile & realise there are some very lovely people in this world

@NannyRed Maybe the OP was in a state and feels like she did not acknowledge their support as much at the time. When you are distraught, you don't always think entirely straight. No need for such a snarky, unhelpful remark.

NannyRed when you bother to find and read the OP's other thread hang your head in shame.

NannyRed - of course I said thank you at the time.
But thanks to you you’ve started me of again.
I just wanted to say that there are some lovely concerned people in the world & you are not one of them.
Cheers for putting my mind back 10 paces

I haven’t seen your other thread op, but hope you are okay. I always find the kindness of strangers so heartening.

Threads like this are lovely because it makes me realise that there are nice people in the world. It also reminds me that if I ever saw someone upset I should definitely try and offer some sort of help, be it a tissue or a smile or a pick n mix sweet.

OP I read your other thread and this isn’t your fault. I hope you feel stronger and happier soon.

OP, please don’t allow one nasty internet stranger to upset you so much. Ignore cruel comments and forget about them.

OP
Hope you feel better today.

Nannyred- empathy bypass still going strong I see. Well done you.

Wow NannyRed why so rude?
Glad you found some lovely people to help you SittingAtARailwayStation

Glad you met some lovely people yesterday OP, it’s nice to have a little of your faith in human nature restored after such a traumatic experience .

Ignore NannyRed, a quick search of their previous posts shows that this is not out of character for them and they seem to be lacking the empathy gene!

OP I haven't read your other thread but it's clear from this one that you were not in a good place last night. That was a shockingly horrid comment and says more about that person that it does you. I for one am glad you posted, it's always lovely to hear about acts of human kindness.

can someone link to the other thread please?

I love reading threads about strangers helping people! Too many threads on here are about strangers touching, looking or speaking and trying to help and getting murderous looks and verbal abuse in return. One day no one will try to help at all and it will be a sad day for all of us. Haven't read your other thread but hope you are feeling more positive this morning 💐

@NannyRed - did you deliberately pick the thread started by someone who's very obviously having a shit time to post on so that you could give them a kicking? Or are you a tosser on every thread?

Just seen your other thread. So glad you found some kindness, goodness knows you deserve it. 💐

@Nannyred, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Sitting - glad you found some kind people. There are a few out there.
I can only offer you through the ether.

NannyRed what a lovely person you are (not) 😐

OP, thank you for sharing, we hear so many horror stories about how nasty people can be, it’s nice to know that there are nice people out there, people that care. These laddies could have easily ignored you but they didn’t, they noticed you were upset and they wanted to help.

I hope you are feeling better x

I haven't seen the other thread, hope you're OK now though.
I love these kinds of threads as it shows there's still lovely people out and about, we never get to really hear about them as much though

How lovely. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time right now. There are indeed lovely people, many for every nasty poster here🤨

One person being kind can change the course of someone's life.

Shame it's so easy to be an ass eh @NannyRed?

NannyRed you really are a nasty person.

Hope you are ok op.

Op, I'm so sorry you're going through such an awful time and thank goodness
for kindly people like those you met on the train.

OP's previously mentioned thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3607110-DV-possible-trigger-I-ve-left-help-me-stay-away?msgid=87661382

I was very upset at a train station earlier on this year and had young strangers be similarly lovely to me, it makes such a difference. Hope you're OK and with friends, SittingAtARailwayStation

30 years on, I still think about a person who was incredibly kind to me in similar circumstances. They insisted on coming with me on the tube to Paddington station and would have come in the train with me from there if I hadn't insisted they didn't. Other people's kindness when you are at very low ebb stays with you and I completely understand the wish to say thanks again.

I hope things do look better today OP

Strangers being kind is the most affirming thing- they owe you nothing, but still they help. It's a beautiful thing and I'm so glad that it happened to you.
