And then the fucking mods banned me and deleted all my perfectly reasonable comments. So now this poster thinks even more that she is in the right.

It was on the EmmasDiary facebook page yes, I know... I stated that her stance was offensive to me (she thinks her exH isnt safe to look after her kids as he is depressed) and I was jumped on and called an idiot (spelt wrong, ha). She "lolled" at my depression, so I childish, I know! said I thought it was hysterical that she had PND, and somewhat ironic given that she wont let H see his own kids.

Sigh. Why do I do it...

Feel free to all tell me IAB a cunt.

Ah, which one were you I wonder? Hmm

GhostShip · 23/11/2012 18:38

You might have missed my parts, they didn't get deleted though. I was Dana-R

Moominsarescary · 23/11/2012 18:44

I think I must have missed yours

GhostShip · 23/11/2012 18:46

God damn! I had her riled.

cheekybaubles · 23/11/2012 19:49

I definitely didn't see your 'parts' ghost Grin

cheekybaubles · 23/11/2012 19:51

Oh, just give me one line ghost I can't remember the names anyway. Someone has been trying to 'friend' me but I am worried it might be a friend of the poster saying she is going to come around and chin me :O

GhostShip · 23/11/2012 19:56

I was the one who said she'd contradicted herself, one minute she said it was because she was depressed then she said he was playing on depressison and its because of cheating. I said I suspect it's not the depression thats the issue, but the cheating.

And that dads have got rights too.

And a few more ha

Tweasels · 23/11/2012 20:05

Oh my goodness. That shit makes netmums look heavenly. Someone actually said "can sumone tell me wot pre-eclampsia is cos I think I got it."

keep up the sabotage

GhostShip · 23/11/2012 20:10

'when can i put salt on my childs food because he likes it'

ffs.

HecatePropylaea · 23/11/2012 20:23

Someone asked that?

I'm confused. how does a child know whether or not they like salt if they've never had it added to their food. They wouldn't know what it tasted like or be able to have a preference [baffled]

MrsReiver · 23/11/2012 20:28

The page clearly needs a MN intervention.

cheekybaubles · 23/11/2012 20:32

Mmm, can't remember your name.

GhostShip · 23/11/2012 20:35

cheekybaubles - I was also the one who pointed out depression is similar to PND, after someone said PND is different.

I also said the father had rights too, after they banged on about mothers rights for like 100 posts. I don't know how you missed me :o she was frothing!

Hecate - my thinking exactly. I'm not even a mother yet but I feel I can judge

WelshMaenad · 23/11/2012 20:39

I went out and didn't catch the denouement. Did she even come close to accepting that she was BU or did she just keep banging on about her dad trying to abduct her?

MrsReiver · 23/11/2012 20:40

FWIW I posted the should of/should have picture.

GhostShip · 23/11/2012 20:41

Welsh her and her elk just kept accusing us of being judgemental, and not giving good advice Hmm

cheekybaubles · 23/11/2012 20:51

You are my hero mrs she just kept telling me if I couldn't say anything constructive....I thought I was being constructive.

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 23/11/2012 20:55

Its me cheeky, I am N.H! I did sent a message too! Grin

Ghost, I know which one you were. Were? Are you not Dana any more? Grin

On a serious note, does anyone think MN needs a campaign to address the stigma still attached to MH issues?

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 23/11/2012 20:57

I am the only one here not outed, what with being banned and all Grin
Though I am "me" on MN anyway, my profile isnt all cloak and dagger :)

OP posts:
GhostShip · 23/11/2012 20:57

Haha Im still Dana... I think (looks shifty)

I honestly can't believe there's STILL so much stigma attached to mental health issues, but also blatant sexism surrounding it too.

Thankyou for making this thread, and opening mine (and anothers) eyes. It needs to be addressed.

WelshMaenad · 23/11/2012 21:19

Ah, the "you're just being a protective mummy" brigade. Who at no point came back to explain why I could be alone with my children, but a father with depression was inherently dangerous...

I'm following rethink and Time to Change on facebook, who are both really good for campaigns on raising awareness of mental health.

Moominsarescary · 23/11/2012 22:08

Ah I remember now, I posted that if she is realy worried she should talk to a professional ( because they will be really bothered!) not ask a group of people who are just going to tell her 'you know best hun'
