Old threads you followed that you would love to know what happened afterwards

[DaimondSpine]

I remember an old thread where a group of friends basically denied themselves treats on holidays and days out for years because one couple in the group were supposedly hard up and they didn’t want the other couple to struggle. It turned out that they actually had saved a substantial amount to put their son through Uni . I wonder what happened next as the OP and friends were absolutely outraged and were going to confront hard up couple, but the thread had reached maximum posts so never knew what happened next . What is the thread that you remember and would love an update on ?

I think of chickencuddleall lot.

There was a heartbreaking thread about ten years ago, where the poster’s 5 year old daughter disclosed that her dad (who the poster was separated from) had been abusing her. The poster was incredible at supporting her DD and did everything she could - social services and police - but the police eventually decided not to prosecute due to “lack of evidence”. She posted throughout the investigation process and understandably devastated with the police’s decision. Her daughter would be a teenager now and I sometimes wonder how they are.

The op was anything but covert.

@penmanship are you sure the poster has a daughter? What you've posted sounds very much like another situation back in 2015, but it was a son who reported his dad was touching him inappropriately, and the mum had a difficult time with the dad's legal team etc. The dad would claim he wanted to see the child but armed to just want to punish the mum. The poster (first initial B) went to b the private area to continue posting and received a lot of support from posters TW, MA etc.

Which is why once she became concerned about being identified she had the previous threads deleted and has now stopped posting altogether.

Thankfully linking threads have now been deleted.

@SeaGreenSeaGlass yes, definitely a daughter, it was around the time my own daughters were born, so it would have been 2016 (so not quite 10 years). I remember being so horrified by it. Awful that there’s similar stories.

She didn't predate Michael M. The 5:2 threads started in 2012 after his documentary, I was on the original. Lost a ton of weight and never looked back, still do intermittent fasting 😀

@SeaGreenSeaGlass thats the one I always remember and hope that she finally got her son away from the dad.

fantastic to "see" you again 🎉 So pleased that you and OUR boy are doing well - and of course that you are still owned by a cat x

Her handle was yourrubymaker. Her sons turnout was benign but obviously he has a long road back to normality.

Waffletots, just last December. A few weeks before she was due to give birth she discovered her husband had been having an affair. She ended their marriage and threw him out, he was only concerned about himself and didn't even ask about their children. She was amazingly strong through the whole thing. I hope her and her children are doing ok.

🤣

Really?! Where did you see that? I felt so sorry for her, it was before the tide started to swing and so it was all too believable.

David and Caroline. The amount of us he propositioned whilst his wife was dying was horrific.

Eh? How did he proposition people on mumsnet?

The missing ironing board and the green eyed gardener !.

Yes I often think of her and hope she’s ok.

The girl came to her house and gave it back.

Please tell me about the green eyed gardener!

So I found the @chopinandchampagne first thread. Spent the weekend reading it. It’s been so sad to read it. I’ve started reading he 2nd one she posted about her daughter buying in Ireland. I do hope her DD1 has come to her senses about LB. There was something about the retirement home. Did the op give her retirement home to dd1 and LB?

I found an obviously later one but not the first or second, can you link them please?

The one where the (calm and rational) OP had a fair and growing suspicion that her DP was gaslighting her - stuff going missing, objects moved. She just wasn’t sure on what his endgame was.

The ‘endless winter’ OP with the vicious ex who was intent on making her life a misery and turning her family against her despite the fact he’d left her for a much younger woman in a very callous manner. He seemed to be trying to destroy her. Some people thought it was fiction, I seem to remember.

Lots of very inappropriate messages

I often think about her too. Such a strong lady. I hope she is doing ok.

I got very invested in that one but did wonder when the OP just disappeared if it was all made up. Sadly.
