Poster I often think about...

[CamperVan79]

It's the lady from the chutney threads. I read all her threads and kept up with her son being born and all the other things that happened and I often think of her and wonder if she's ok. He must be at least 8 by now

There was a lady who had an abusive ex who was alienating hers sons against her to the point she considered a termination of her baby with the new DP. Last I saw there was a custody battle in Court and it was costing thousands. I wonder whether she got the outcome she hoped for.

The lady with a little girl who had a very distended tummy. So many saying obviously normal tummy, all fine, don't be stupid. Went to hospital. Apparently a problem then she went.

RedStripeLassie.
I hope she got away from the abuse and is safe and happy.

I often think about the woman and her ducks! That thread has been one of my absolute favourites on here.

This is the current thread, lots more ducky adventures.

There was a lady who had an abusive ex who was alienating hers sons against her to the point she considered a termination of her baby with the new DP. Last I saw there was a custody battle in Court and it was costing thousands. I wonder whether she got the outcome she hoped for. she still posts regularly, always under a different name, and her posts are invariably deleted because she only gives half the story every time but is recogniseable.

It’s a lot more complicated than it just being about an abusive ex though. But the last time one of her posts was deleted HQ were having a word with her off the boards….

I often think about ViviPru because when they posted (or posted under that name) I thought I might have known them in RL. Haven’t seen anything for several years though.

@jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey

Ophelia Rose from way back. I often wonder how she and her twins are doing.

Playing happily with all the other wee trolls I expect. As are many others named on this thread.

Ledkr! I seem to remember a horrible mother in law who didn't treat her daughter the same way as her other children, something about a swimming costume??
Sparklyballsandtinsel who was dreading going out for a Xmas meal with a relative's children who were allowed to roam free.
A young poster with terminal cancer who was struggling to come to terms with dying and leaving her child behind. She stopped posting and I wonder often how her DS is and if her family ever knew that she posted her fears.

@Gsp2 I'm so glad you're ok. I think about you and your kids a lot. You used to get such a hard time on here, people were awful to you. I always used to stick up for you (with a different user name). I'm really pleased you're well 😊

Dowser - she was kind to me years ago and I used to see her on here a lot but not recently. Perhaps she namechanged.

I was here about 10 years ago for huge chunks of the day. Was a SAHM in foreign lands.
I have a shocking memory for names, but have often thought of expat in Scotland and her DD, also a friend of theirs who was coordinating care packages for Eilish in hospital.
DD was happy to donate about 20 DVDs.
I think about the wolef pack fondly too

cervix yy, call me maybe still comes on the radio and it reminds me of expat.

So much name changing these days so I don't remember many people anymore.

I remember when Misdee's DH (Peter) was waiting for the transplant. OJ's husband sadly dying - but her efforts to make memories and buy trifles, and Yorkiegirl (?) whose DH died suddenly while they were on holiday.

So many more over the years - and now there are so many posters, I don't really seem to 'know' many people at all.

But I hope that those who do go through such tough times find some comfort in the fact that strangers think of them, and are wishing them well.

Expat's DD - I can remember when so many MNers lit candles for her on one specific evening.

I was briefly a BESH under a different name, but I won a baybee more quickly than expected so I went back to lurking after that. Those women were awesome and made me realise that your brains don't need to fall out just because you've become/want to be a parent! I often wonder what happened to one of the BESHes - I can't remember her name, but I think she was studying creative writing. Her name was Ead-something or Head-sonething, I think?

And Biscuitsandbandages who sadly died, falling ill not long after giving birth to her DD. Such tough times they had as a family, and always seemed so unfair that she was a GP, and spent her life helping others.

I know expatinscotland irl and she's doing ok.

@Wolfiefan

RedStripeLassie. I hope she got away from the abuse and is safe and happy.

I remember her story. She left after her husband attacked her, but ended up going back to him and having another baby. She namechanged, but was posting about her DH again and the story was recognisable.

I will always remember the poster who asked for advice on here , she was a regular, had been around awhile She was ill and was contemplating going to A&E, People responded with ‘Dont go to A&E, If your posting on here, You cant be that ill… She died of sepsis

This is truly sad.

I'm curious how is it known that a poster has died? I've seen in a few threads where someone says 'ABC old poster died of XYZ a few years ago' and I always wonder how they know that.

I miss Maryz

Aww thank you so much for standing up for me. It was a horrible time. Its a bit sad that I have to kind of hide away now because of it. I do mostly get the post in a peaceful sort of way now though which is good . Definitely meant alot when people stood up for me. So thank you .

There was a birth mother called Darkriver who used to post on the adoption board - she was very troubled But working very hard on pulling herself out of it. She stopped posting all of a sudden and I've always been a bit worried about her

I often wonder what happened to one of the BESHes - I can't remember her name, but I think she was studying creative writing. Her name was Ead-something or Head-sonething, I think?

Headbanger? She stopped posting after a year or so I think, so I never found out whether she ever won her baybee. She had a fantastic posting style, such a witty turn of phrase - mind you, that was true of pretty much that whole sparky, larky, funny-in-the-face-of-utter-shit group of women.

There was a poster years ago (2006/7?) who used to cook the most amazing 3 course dinners every night for her husband. Most days she would post what she was going to cook and I got great pleasure and often inspiration from reading it (although I could never be bothered to cook more than the one course). Can’t for the life of me recall her name.

I often think fondly of Dittany from the Feminism board. I sometimes wonder if she came back as the amazing @Datun!
