Is this bad? It probably is ... to find this sort of funny.

I have already written about this but in a nut shell dd ex friend has put dd at risk by giving dd violent ex details about dd. The ex friend did this on purpose to cause lots of serious problems for DD.

But in the end it's done the opposite as the council have agreed dd needs to move and they are going to move dd to the area she wants to be. And it's going to have a really positive impact on dd and her kids.

I kind of find it funny that this person is /was out to get her but it's all back fired on her.

Me and dd have been talking about how lovely it will be how much easier things will be and all the positive things dd can to her new place etc.

I'm not sure 'funny' is the right word, but it's good to hear your daughter will be safe in her new property, assuming the ex-friend doesn't know where she is going.

Funny in the sense that the ex friend didn't achieve what she wanted. Is she friendly with the violent ex?

No sge does not know . Dd needs to understand she can never have contact with that friend again . She can't risk it

I get what you mean OP. The ex friend tried to fuck up DD , massively and dangerously so, but ended up doing her a "favour" since her actions helped your DD move where she needed/wanted.

It's not funny though, another LA , another team and your daughter could've been seriously injured or worse.

With friends like these....

Her dd has a violent ex who isn't allowed near her.
A mutual friend of DD and the ex has disclosed dd's location putting her and her child at risk.
Council took it seriously and rehomed them in a safe location.

AFlashOfLight · 03/08/2024 17:43

'Ironic' would be the word. The friend tried to make your DD less safe, but through her own actions has made her safer.
Put on Alanis Morrissette loudly and dance around the room with your daughter and the kids to celebrate that things are looking good for them. Hope all goes well x

Yep very true . There are big parts of this that are not funny and have caused bad problems . But I was just looking at the positive part of it. But yeah different set of professionals abd it could have Been very different.

I think people go through different feelings and emotions the last few days are so have been absolutely hell . We really though dd kids were going to be taken away because of this person... there's no a different emotion feeling. As someone uo thread said maybe the word funny isn't the right one . Someone mentioned ironic maybe that's the word I needed

I thought it might be the word ironic I wasn't sure though. That song is very fitting 👌

I love this!!!

This is absolute gold!

She wanted DD to suffer and her actions have instead led to DD having a better life - amazing!!

A similar thing happened to me.
Someone made a report about me at work (complete lie). I was nearly fired over it until a piece of information came out which proved she was lying.
It turned out that by reporting me, she uncovered illegal activities that she had been doing and in return ended up getting fired on the spot and escorted out of the building (prison).
I couldn’t help but laugh after weeks of crying and worrying.

GoogleWhacked · 03/08/2024 18:02

I get you OP. It's not funny ha-ha, but funny in a fuck- you we've won kinda way.
Glad your DD and GC are safe, and best of luck to them in their new home. 💐

Wow that's fantastic. Honestly I will never ever understand why people do this sort of thing . I'm glad it worked out for you in the end. 💐

I'm pleased your DD will be rehoused where she is safe and happy after all she's been through. You must both be very relieved. Try to focus your thoughts on thst and forget about this 'friend'. She had shown she can't be trusted and you abd DD shouldn't give her any more headspace. I hope DD knows how important it is not to trust this person with her new location? Tempting as it will be to show her DD has ended up better off, she must never tell or she will be at risk again.

Yes you are right.

Its a different type of funny.

Exactly as you say - funny in a fuck you kind of way.

I love when karma works like this.

Yeah 100% agree. Dd can't ever take that risk. It was not silly stuff where you can just eye roll and get on with it. Dd kids could have been taken away. And dds dv advocate has said the same

Me and dd keep looking at floor plans from sold places in the area 🤣. I don't think I'm the only one to do that sort of thing 😅😅😅

Edited

No I do that too!

But I would try not to get my hopes up until she’s 100% got the keys (hard to do I know).

When I got my council home they told me I had it and then turned around and said I didn’t!
I got a different place in the end and so I’m still very lucky but it was still heartbreaking at the time.

Please keep us updated.
I’m very pleased for your DD and hope everything works out for her and her kids 💐
