Obviously not to playgroups etc, but I've got a baby at home and don't think I can cope otherwise. Is there anywhere we can safely go where there won't be lots of kids/pregnant women?

PPM - will 'see you' tomorrow at some point on our thread. Take care love xxxx

I really think that a condition of registering for Mumsnet should be to read about Emma Bowyer.

It is an eyeopener.

You know who the real victims in this are, though? The lovely ladies over on the bereavement thread. Whatever the truth is, MN is never going to be the same for them again. I am sorry about that. Truly."

i agree SGM. I am just left with a bad taste but I know there are a lot of posters who have been through so much already and must be distraught at this.

RedBlueRed · 02/10/2010 19:01

Oh my goodness!

I said I would apologise for my comment and I am sorry. Sad

Sorry mainly for the bereaved mummies and their suppoert thread and for AvrilHeytch who was treated badly.
I hope SGB doesn't feel that SS being outed as a troll validates her unpleasantness.

Whatever the truth of it, I hope this lady gets some help, I'd say she needs it.

pinkgrasshopper · 02/10/2010 19:01

Shabba, are you okay? This must be so grim for you. You mentioned it was your DH's birthday- I really hope you feel able to go out and celebrate amongst all this nastiness. I feel so sad for you.

arfasleep · 02/10/2010 19:02

Is it possible she was just a really argumentative bitch troll? Then her daughter died...Isn't that most likely explanation?

EmmaBemma · 02/10/2010 19:04

"peterpansmum

I think you are panicking getting a little overexcited.

Would be interesting to see wheer I have named you as a sockpuppet"

oh come ON! You're obviously insinuating that she is, in this and other posts. You seem to be relishing all the intrigue, whilst making out you're some kind of Mumsnet Jessica Fletcher.

No-one really knows what is going on, so all this cloak-and-daggers speculation isn't helping anyone.

deemented · 02/10/2010 19:05

I've been trying to say that arfasleep - but was as usual, ignored.

MNHQ have handed this appaulingly, and i for one am bloody disgusted.

EmmaBemma · 02/10/2010 19:06

arfasleep, that's what I think too.

Blush Yes I've now read it. WWC did have a dd about 3.5 in February when she was posting, perhaps this was the one shred of truth.

Perhaps Sassy was a bereaved parent, perhaps not. The feelings she invoked for others are real, the issues/points raised have real reactions and consequences.

Noone should feel foolish MN is about trust as much as anything else. It would be a shame to lose sight of the value of this meeting place and the people that use it genuinely.

I'm with arfasleep on this one. I just did a quick search as I wasn't around when Washedwithcare was posting. I can absolutely imagine that poster being the person Sassysusan used to be before Catherine died. Bad things can happen to feisty/argumentative/cynical (whatever adjective you want to apply) people and turn them into angry, grief-stricken people.
I am also a bit horrified that PPM is being openly doubted now - and it wasn't just her jumping to conclusions about the sockpuppet comment being aimed at her - that is exactly how I interpreted it. I don't see who else it could have applied to.
Hasn't there been enough hurt without risking wrongly "outing" another bereaved mother?

OMFG - just came on to check and shit has truly hit the fan Sad

Not really sure what to think about SS, she seemed so genuinly bereaved and I'm not sure you could make that up. I did post about how brilliantly she writes (talking about her blog) and suggested she could write a sensitive book for bereaved parents - I hope that is not irony at it's best Sad

Do not know WWC as I began mumsnet in May which I see is when SS did - she may have known about MN from previous personas and needed to come back for support.

I'm just gutted that this has happened.

Shabs, Dee, Loudlass, mredevere, PPM, Zeno (sorry if I've missed anyone), I'm ssssoooo sorry your safe haven has been tainted. I know I cannot possibly understand your pain, loss and devestation but I want you to know that my heart and thoughts are with you right now and that when DS is in bed I will light a candle for them and you in memory and respect. It will also be for Catherine as whoever, whatever SS is a little girl out there died. Sad Angry

Please lets not forget the real message of this thread either - CP can kill Sad

LadyBiscuit · 02/10/2010 19:17

annec - wwc wasn't just cynical. She was really aggressive and had a variety of stories, none of which hung together. And if she is indeed SS, then she hasn't mentioned her ex, her DSS or her other children at all - either on her posts or her blog.

And she did come back as someone trying to scrounge a washing machine I'm fairly sure although I can't find the thread.

arfasleep · 02/10/2010 19:18

I agree annec555, its not only nice kind people who are bereaved, i think surmising anything else about Susan is mean, IMO, until proved otherwise

nameymcnamechange · 02/10/2010 19:25

I posted to ask if SSusan mentioned her new baby on her messages on the bereavement threads. WashWithCare was pregnant iirc. And had step children. But my post seems to have been lost.
