to take out my dc who has the pox?

[sleeplessinseatle]

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?

I don't understand, I thought Susan's posts had all been deleted so no-one can pick through them other than by trying to remember what they'd read in the past, can they?

Oh SGM, I was clutching at straws that somehow it could all be wrong

Shabs, Dee, Zeno, Loudlass, Mrsdevere, PPM, FM (sorry any Ive omitted)

As promised I have lit a candle for and in memory of all the dc's and their parents who sadly have become part of the bereavement thread, including Catherine. Please may I offer my deepest condolences to you, and may you continue to educate us about grief, preventing accidents and the effects of illness.
And please may to continue to find solace in MN and your support group.

Oh fuck fuck fuck. Please don't misunderstand me SGM. I said thank-you for saying it because I agree with you.

and thats what MN is for, support, empathy, education and sometimes for a good rant.

I too went over to the safe haven thread and posted - I apologise if I have caused any offence - I had absolutely no intention of doing that.

I think that the only holes on the safe haven thread are the ones that MNHQ has made by deleting so many posts - if it was my posts referring to holes in that thread that have caused offence, I apologise for not being clearer.

I also hope that I didn't cause offence by explaining how I thought an immune system weakened by cp could be much more vulnerable to a secondary infection which could then lead to death - again, I had no intention of picking holes in Susan's story - the opposite in fact - I felt that it gave more detail to the story and made it more believable.

If I have caused any offence, I apologise.

I have been here several years now and can only think of a handful of posters who have been banned. MNHQ do not censor or ban people quickly, certainly not compared to lots of other boards out there.

And yet Justine says that they have banned her FOUR times within one year.

In her other personas she has posted about other children and stepchildren. These are not mentioned in this new persona.

She has been asked on her own blog to explain the history with the bannings from MN. She has not, as yet, done so.

I am so very sorry for those who have been hurt by this, especially those bereaved parents. But I honestly think MNHQ acted to protect you from further deception and hurt.

Cheers SGM.

Inevitable really that everyone is left wondering WTF, and anything that helps to make sense of the situation is of interest.

I have no intention of going into what I consider a private place, so can I just say on this thread, that I hope all the people posting on the bereavement thread are able to continue find support on there, I really hope that all this crap hasn't spoilt it for you.

FWIW, i don't think anyone objects to you coming over to our thread and posting - i for one don't. What i think is being objected to is the people who go over there just to read up about what happened to our children, to gawp, if you will. The thread, the one started by Sassy was one of the most raw and heartfelt for a while... on it we were finally able to say what had robbed us of our precious babies and children, and we haven't been able to disclose that for a while. We were able to reach a new level of understanding and we were actually able to reach out and people who had been too afraid to post were finally starting to. That now has been lost, ripped apart, desecrated.

MNHQ could have handled it so much better then they have... but they don't seem to care.

There was another poster recently who was banned and had all her posts deleted for being abusive on the premature baby posts and others. Her name was anxious land.

I wonder if it is the same person.

STDG my post under yours was agreeing with you.

People often start looking for mysteries where there are none. COD 'anomalies' being one of them, slight differences in dates etc.

Thats the trouble with Troll hunts. People start finding these things and cry 'ah ha! they made a mistake here and here, that proves it!'

We've all seen it.

Miasma - please don't introduce even more speculation here - it can only cause more hurt.
