Thanks for that. Yes, I’d forgotten about the sexually abused ds. That’s the one.

I'd love to know how Lou is doing. Her husband suddenly left her taking all sorts of stuff including chutney. She found out shortly afterwards that she was pg and had a little boy.
The husband got his mistress pg and they had the boys at a similar time.

I often what happened to the lady who had a child with her now DP and the DP had 2 other children - her DC had a castle bedroom or similar and her DPs dc were made to sleep in something resembling a cupboard?.he also liked to play xbox and drink coke but didnt work.and she was getting a management role within a pub type place on the last thread if I remember correctly.

Mumofone1593 · 05/01/2020 19:16

Remember the lady who was abroad and her husband upgraded himself to first class and did something with the money? Then he washed his clothes and hers were filthy so she had to wear summer clothes home?

I can't properly remember the details but i know she said she was going to leave him and I wonder whether she did and where she is now!

cliffsofabandon · 05/01/2020 19:23

@Mumofone1593 she posted again in Mumsnet dark area to avoid the thread being found. I can't remember the outcome now but I'm pretty sure she left

DARK AREA?

ElspethFlashman · 05/01/2020 19:30

The poster who blames her ex for everything is greenberet. Definitely not a troll, goes through fits and starts of loads of threads about how evil he is, then it dies down for a while.

Most of the others are trolls though. Softzilla definitely was, and it got ridiculous towards the end anyway. Like a mini series. I couldn't believe people were still waving pom poms for her.

Also the one with the shared back garden where they too down her wall was apparently a troll.

There is a few trolls doing the rounds. One thats obsessed with bodily fluids and always starts poo threads, one about being privileged /gorgeous, a "should I have an abortion" troll, a "my kid is in hospital but ill update MN throughout" troll, plenty of Baby Name trolls, "my husband is dying" troll, a "hot tradesman" troll.... the list goes on and on.

Inherdefence · 05/01/2020 19:31

There is one that still haunts me. The poster had charged up and looked at her DPs old phone and found a very old recording of him being verbally and physically abused by his ex-GF. She told her partner what she had seen and was pushing him to confront the ex/discuss the problem with his counsellor/report the ex to the police. Many people (me included) thought this was a gross intrusion into the DPs privacy, that she was being controlling, she shouldn’t have snooped, that she should mind her own business and allow him to make his own choices without being pushed by her. She got very angry!

Of all the threads I’ve read over the years, I still think of that man and wonder how things are going for him.

Blindspotfan · 05/01/2020 19:37

I'd love to know how deckthehalls is doing. She used to post a few years ago. Was about to seperate from her narcissistic husband and had two daughters. One not well, who she referred to as poorlydd.

Sux2buthen · 05/01/2020 19:38

What's the dark area?

DramaAlpaca · 05/01/2020 19:46

FGS, there is no 'Dark Area' on MN. All it is, is a board which doesn't show up if you try to search for it online. That's all. Sometimes people post sensitive stuff on there. It's no big secret.

Momniscient · 05/01/2020 19:47

What about the person whose partner decided to be a SAHM... when they didn't even have kids yet. The thread derailed and was taken down (and then the poster replied to someone else questioning the disappearance) but I'd love to know what happened since

Dolorabelle · 05/01/2020 19:54

I remember way back when I first got addicted to MN a poster called GettingBig (who NC'd to GettingStronger I think), who started with a couple of simple queries and then through several threads it became clear she was in an abusive marriage, and was being coercively controlled by her husband.

He wanted her pregnant again, for example, and she'd already had one child she hadn't really wanted to have (forced pregnancy) and required her to give up her paid work outside the home. Her husband also wouldn't fix various things around the home, so they couldn't use rooms as they were unsafe. It was all about controlling his wife.

It may well have been a troll, as somethings seemed too easy (she took up her work - professional - again quite easily for example).

I think her threads went to the MN other place, but I often wonder what happened to her - if she was real, that is.

WillingSpringTime · 05/01/2020 19:55

I read one a few months ago about a women who had slept with her husband's brother at a party and found out she was pregnant.
It had only just been posted when I read it so had no replies but when I went back to find it, the post had gone so I assume it was a troll.
Also wondered about the summer clothes on the plane thread. May have to go searching for the update on that one.
The other one that sticks in my mind is the lady who was convinced someone was peeing on her chair at work as she always had a wet spot on it that smelt of urine. I wonder if she ever found out who was doing it...

Pakora · 05/01/2020 20:05

I often think about coatsprotectionleague too and hope she's OK and living a serene life somewhere lovely.

Which board is that?

PaperFlowers4 · 05/01/2020 20:13

The details are hazy as this was from years ago (2012ish), but there was a poster who had just given birth and her DP fucked off to the Himalayas or something to “find himself” and said that he’d made a mistake and didn’t want anything further to do with her or the child. It was a very long thread with many updates. The poster remained really pragmatic throughout the whole saga and Its always stuck in my mind. I wonder how she and her child are doing now.

Inherdefence · 05/01/2020 21:22

I’m also curious about the non-mysterious dark board that isn’t really dark just undetectable.

theoriginalmadambee · 05/01/2020 21:43

I called it dark because it can't be searched and posters go there to avoid both being searched and for general privacy. I think, the section has largely been taken over by a 'gibberish' group.

theoriginalmadambee · 05/01/2020 21:44

I won't be the one to name it here. Pm me if need be Smile.

INeedToKnowAbout · 05/01/2020 22:06

Maybe s couple of years ago, there was a woman who went to a party and slept over. Woke up the next morning and she’d had a huge giant face drawn on her back. Be interesting to know what became of that.

Chochito · 05/01/2020 22:09

Buyitinbamboo I remember that one about the windows! Whatever happened?

And I want to know about Emma Thompson who found that jewellery receipt before Christmas 2019.

PenelopePeachStone · 05/01/2020 22:24

I can't remember any names but the one where a woman was posting about buying her dcs a house and because they'd have to completely renovate they were not keen and therefore ungrateful... I think it was a suspected reverse... I'm not too great at searching so I don't know whether or not it's still about ...

Flacker · 05/01/2020 22:25

Does anyone know what happened to one a few days ago in relationships, it was a man talking about his gf being controlling and nothing was ever right for her? 'So lost and feel alone'?

I didn't see the part where the thread went south I just came back to it and it had been removed. MMHQ had said 'this isn't the place fot this' which I've never seen used before and I am very curious now.
