I'm in a Facebook group that I very helpful and useful, but one of the admins is irritating AF. Practically everything she does is annoying. I can't say this to her because then I'd probably get banned.

You're the most boring man I've ever met. Your monotonus voice drones on and on and you talk about things I have no interest in.
If I had a time machine I would go back to the moment of your proposal and say HELL NO.

How are you actually my mother?! Was i adopted or switched at birth??
Yes its pride month but noone needed to hear your homophobic and plain disgusting comments at the top of your voice over coffee. I'm bi and one day I will tell you.
You don't need to comment on the appearance of every last person we see or walk past. You never ever say anyone looks nice. You always say that they look "fat" or "ugly" or "ridiculous". It's nasty and unnecessary.
You said the other day that women shouldn't be managers as they are too emotional! WTAF?!
You proudly said that you were pleased to see Donald Trump in this country meeting the Royal Family as "hes right in what he says and isn't ashamed. We need someone like that in power".
You constantly make racist comments except about the lovely Asian lady you work with as "shes different". Well I'm sure she won't be keen on you after your rant to her when she said she couldn't come to your birthday meal as it was Eid.

How are you possibly my mother?! I fear for my DS growing up and hearing these utterly dreadful remarks.

Aaaaand breathe.

You’re living in a cult with abusive bullies. Have some self-esteem and stop saying yes to all of their demands and live your own life for you.

MsTSwift · 16/06/2019 07:51

Why did you organise your dds birthday party so it required parents to collect from your country house in the middle of nowhere at 9.30 pm on Saturday night?!? Poor dh couldn’t have wine with his steak and chips Hmm

Wallhanging · 16/06/2019 08:29

GiraffeMomma What did she put in the card?

Mine wrote an essay from my baby son to my husband about what a wonderful father he is, how he loves bathtime and bedtime with him and blah blah blah... Thing is, DH works long hours, he rarely gets to do those things, so it made him feel like shit.

Thanks MIL you stupid bitch.

omione · 16/06/2019 08:37

Dear D, i am so sorry you became my exh's second wife, if i had told you the truth about him you would have thought i was a bitchy jealous ex wife. I know you had to come back to the U.K for an operation and leave him there and i know what he done whilst you were away. I truly wish you didnt have a life of hell with a sociopath. Dont belive a word he says, always have an escape fund. I wish i could have told you about his checklist for a new partner, you topped the list because your Parents have a lovely house with pool and you will inherit a fair amount of money when they die.
D you seem really nice and my 3 children say that you dont seem happy anymore, i really hope you are ok, 6 years of being married to him must feel like a lifetime, please look after yourself.

Warmhandscoldheart · 16/06/2019 08:45

Excuse please for being greedy and having 2 posts in this thread.
To the knob on the nearby allotments - what the fuck gives you the right to light a bonfire on a beautiful sunny day!!!
I've got a line of washing out and my house now recks of smoke.
Oh and I'm reporting you to the council

TotheletterofthelawTHELETTER · 16/06/2019 08:53

Exh,
Why tell our daughter you would transfer her birthday money so she could buy the trainers she wanted if you weren’t going to do it? Why turn your phone off so when she rang an hour later she couldn’t speak to you? We had tears in the shopping centre. I bought them for her in the end.
I don’t know why I don’t tell her the truth about you. That you’re controlling, a liar and you have probably spent her birthday money on alcohol. I protect you to her, I make allowances for you and step up where you can’t so she doesn’t know what a shit dad she actually has. I do this to protect her.
But I’m sick of it. Yesterday was the last fucking straw. You promised her she could have that money then let her down. I’m sick of picking up the pieces or juggling things so that there are no pieces to pick.
So, fuck you. I will not bad mouth you but it’s time our daughter saw you for what you are. It’ll ruin your already fractured relationship but it’s all your own doing.

PatchworkElmer · 16/06/2019 09:09

I’d actually feel sorry for you- you’re clearly searching for ‘perfect’ and need to be validated by everything and everyone. Except, you cause unimaginable misery to people who stand in your way. What did I actually even do to you? You’re a relentless bully with no sense of loyalty and no conscience. People are seeing you for who you really are now though. One day you will look around for support and find nobody there, because people will have finally stopped believing your lies. I truly feel sorry for your husband. I think the fact that a member of your family asked DH and I if we liked you ON YOUR WEDDING DAY speaks volumes about the person you are.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 16/06/2019 09:11

Please just get to the bloody point instead of rambling on with so much totally irrelevant detail - 'was it last Tuesday, no, I think it must have been Wednesday because it was raining and I'd forgotten to take an umbrella - no, hold on, it can't have been Wednesday, because....'

If you've ever read Pride and Prejudice you'll know what I mean when I say you're beginning to sound like Miss Bates.,

FiveGoMadInDorset · 16/06/2019 09:11

well done for doing that marathon walk for Macmillan but how about some real life fucking support

FiveGoMadInDorset · 16/06/2019 09:13

And fucking stop calling me hun

CathyorClaire · 16/06/2019 09:16

Stop sending birthday and Christmas cards. We are NC for a reason and you know exactly what it is.

katseyes7 · 16/06/2019 09:23

You're an amazing friend, and l love you to bits. But why, on almost every occasion we've made arrangements to do something, and l turn up on time, aren't you ready?
Why the need to spend an hour putting on makeup that would put Bowie in the Ziggy Stardust days to shame? Yes, you look amazing. But l don't think it's acceptable for me to sit there while you gild the lily and paint your face like Michelangelo detailing the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in a very slow and methodical fashion.
Three times when we've made arrangements to meet up with other people, you've made us very late by not being ready on time. One occasion we even had to abandon it, because we were so late, the other person had to go to work. You were still putting your face on an hour after the time we were meant to meet them. lt's bad manners and makes people think you think they're not worth bothering for.

magneticmumbles · 16/06/2019 09:35

Jo, you're a dick. You always were a dick and I'm glad your life hasn't worked out well. Also glad that your minions lives have fucked up and I've got everything you always wanted. That's what you get for bullying. And Karma, I bloody love you.

magneticmumbles · 16/06/2019 09:41

You were a crap mum. You were sexist towards your own sex. I'll never forgive you for my crap upbringing and I promise I'll never ever treat my daughter differently for being a girl and make her a prisoner. I will never be the mum you were.

And to my family, I AM NOT A DIMWIT. I am intelligent, I always have been. I don't care if you choose to to ignore all my qualifications, my career and my position in society. I am a success.

magneticmumbles · 16/06/2019 09:45

To me: sort yourself out and forget these people. They do not get to define who you are. Your worth is not measured by what they think of you. It's time to let go. It's time to kick your mental health problems caused by them to the curb. Time for a transformation.

LET THE FUCK GO.

Somethingnothing · 16/06/2019 09:49

I'm so sad that we have nothing in common anymore. I'm sad ive been too rash in the past and said things that have probably hurt you and caused us to drift apart. We're two different people now and im just sad that we can't be honest with one another.

Ferfeckssake · 16/06/2019 09:51

I wish you would fuck off and leave. I hate you being around the house all day. Hope you get a job soon. Preferably in a different country. I want not to married to you anymore. But I need your income !
I will miss the sex , but not much else. You bore me. And you are a cheater. Fuck off and spare me the remorseful speeches. I find myself weighing up the odds of you dying sooner rather than later.

I took you into my house so you would not have to go into a Care Home. A little acknowledgement would be nice - you actually aren't " no bother ".

I am so jealous of your ability to socialise. And hold your drink. Wish you would not save your nasty vicious side for me. Your friends would never believe it.

I wish my DCs were closer. Is it my fault ?

RunningFeisty · 16/06/2019 09:53

I can't cope with anything anymore. Even reaching out to family is no help as they don't care. What do I do.

BigMamaFratelli · 16/06/2019 09:57

I wish you hadn't told me if I wanted to keep the baby we could have worked something out. We couldn't have. I did what was best for the kids we already have. And I know you were trying to be supportive but you just made me feel shitty about the toughest decision I've ever had to make.

HeyHeyMckenzie · 16/06/2019 10:08

I know you think he's not good enough for me. But his goodness shines out of him like a beacon and I've never felt so secure and safe in a relationship ever. He's far from perfect, but just because he's not middle class and doesn't have what you consider to be a "decent"job, doesnt mean he cant make me happy. He works so hard to look after his two lovely children and there isn't a malicious bone in his body, you should be grateful that I've met him.

(To my best friends and parents)

hereiam19 · 16/06/2019 10:22

I’ve been off work for 3 months waiting on an operation you say “we are best friends” yet haven’t asked how I am (you’ve probably forget) and ignore me half the time - I’ve had enough!!

PoppadomPeach · 16/06/2019 10:59

She is treating you like a fucking fool.

Determining when you are allowed to have your child, telling you that you can't have him overnight to visit your family unless she can come with you - but expecting you to have him for 5 days while she fucks off out the country.
Your entire family (the people who actually love and care for you) can see it a mile off - why can't you?

Today is Father's Day. For her first Mother's Day you really pushed the boat out with expensive gifts and a thoughtful card. She hasn't gotten you a thing.
Yet you're currently out buying baby food, breast pads, nappies and wipes (on top of the £150p/w maintenance) so that she doesn't have to do a thing for your child.

She never has the child for longer than 3 hours (between you and her mum seeing the baby) and complains of being tired and stressed. You have the baby every night between 4-8 (after a 10 hour shift) so that you can do bath and bedtime, before she comes to pick him up, because it 'stresses her out.'

She is taking the piss. Playing you like a fucking fiddle and you're letting her get away with it.
You're pushing away your family and friends. You drop plans the second she clicks her fingers. Your nearest and dearest are fucked off with being let down.
You need to get a grip and quickly. Before you end up alone - because she'll drop you like a sack of spuds when someone better comes along.

I feel you with the mil getting stuff for dp for father's day! My mil has bought a cake and a card. She called ds to tell him the other day and he (at the tender age of five) replied with "but I've already got daddy a card nana"

She came out with "well you can give him both then!" tinkly laugh and he just said "why?"

That stopped her right in her tracks and she never did send the second card.
