To tell Facebook friend to LTB?

[Topaz25]

I'm friends with a woman on Facebook. I don't know her very well, we were on a course together and stayed in touch. She has a six month old son. She has just posted that the father of her son pressured her into getting pregnant when she thought it was too early in the relationship but he now says he didn't want the child. She also said that he is a sex addict and started cheating on her during the pregnancy and has continued to do so. Part of me thinks it's none of my business but she posted it on Facebook! WIBU to say he sounds EA? Are there any resources I could show her?

I think you should tell her, or direct her to here. The fact that she wrote it on Facebook implies she is asking for some help.

she posted this in her status or as a private message?

show her mumsnet

Keep out of her drama - why would you want to get involved in it when you hardly know her?

I don't know why people put this stuff on FB - in fact I don't know why people put ANYTHING on FB, but that's just me.

I suppose you have to think what you'd do if a woman you just met in a cafe started telling you all this stuff, and do the same .. but that would be in privacy. These things have repercussions in public

why o why o why ....

She posted it as her status.

I am concerned about her, I suppose I think if she had enough support in real life she wouldn't post it on Facebook.

Also I have been in an abusive relationship in the past and one of the warning signs was him wanting to rush into commitment so it struck a chord with me. Although if someone had warned me at the time I wouldn't have listened.

What ones ltb stand for?

Posting something that is either a genuine cry for help or an attention seeking stunt. I think you have to go off their previous posting style to decipher which.

Is she normally prone to over sharing in public?

If she is then I'd keep out of it

If she's not, I'd send her a link to MN as like others have said, it sounds like she needs help.

Or what Randy said in less words

wanttosleepforever LTB stands for leave the bastard.

umm I guess you are not. Strange she felt the need to go in to it on FB though isnt it?

I don't get why people post things like this on FB but I equally don't get the hoards of people who comment...

I wouldn't say a word. If she is a close enough friend ring her up for a chat, if she isn't stay clear.

Haha okay. Can't believe I didn't guess. Thanks.

I would stay out of it. People who posts stuff like this seem very attention seeking. You're not close to her, you don't even know what the real story is.
