Who's friend had a DP in america and she went over there to have her baby and the OP was worried her friends DP and his mum were planning on keeping the baby?

Posting in AIBU because it was in here for a while and a few might remember.

To make this more interesting, post your own 'what happened's to try and get updates!

elfycat I lurked all the way through that thread I was so angry for you, but honestly had no words of wisdom to pass on, so never posted.
Hope the therapy and time will give the resolution you need.
Thanks for coming back and updating and hope Christmas turned out ok in the end.

There was a thread where a woman had asked the OPs husband to go to the theatre with her; she worked at their DCs nursery(?) & after a conversation about a show she suddenly obtained a pair of tickets & suggested drinks & 'making a night of it'. OP was amazingly chilled about what amounted to a date? Never updated afaik.

I often think about Tunnocksteacakes and her DH who had t brain tumour.
does anyone know how they are doing?

Ifyourawizardwhydouwearglasses · 05/01/2015 07:36

OuiOui how do you know? Was the thread updated?
I'm genuinely shocked and saddened by that. Poor, poor Happy. Life just kept on throwing shit at her. She did so well to get away from her abusive partner aswell :(

I hope her DC are doing ok.

There was a thread a few years ago started by a pregnant woman whose husband was forcing her to stay with her MIL as soon as she got out of hospital. For months.
From what I remember the baby was going to be 'handed over' to the MIL to raise and the OP was expected to 'rest' ie. stay out of the way.

She sounded so defeated and hopeless.

I really hope she told them all to fuck off.

Goodness. The poor, poor thing.
I can't help but feel that she was failed somewhat by the mental health services.
I hope that man is continually plagued by his conscience for what he did to her. Disgusting.

TheLittleRedHen · 05/01/2015 09:14

Oui - I've seen that her thread has been deleted, it says that her family were in touch with HQ so also have no doubt that it is true. Just so sad. I'm glad that she left him though and found a safe place for her DC.

Ifyourawizardwhydouwearglasses · 05/01/2015 09:14

I often think of her. So sad it ended this way for her and her children :(

Ifyourawizardwhydouwearglasses · 05/01/2015 09:15

Did I read that her sister had the children? I hope that's true and that they're still together and with family

HouseBaelish · 05/01/2015 09:27

There was a thread really recently posted by an OP with an unusual and aggressive cancer. She was so angry and scared, but I can't find the post.

Does anyone know whether she came back?

tinklykeys · 05/01/2015 09:30

The mumsnetter who was in touch with happylandspaceman did post a thread which was simply titled 'happy' just after she died explaining what had happened. It quickly slipped off the active list though (possibly because it wasn't obvious what it was about so people weren't clicking on it) and I always felt that lots of people wouldn't have realised. From the sound of things before her other threads were deleted she was on life support for a while. Absolutely heartbreaking, I couldn't stop crying. We didn't know happy but she was so honest and lovely, and then just gone. I'm glad the children are with her sister, it's what she wanted.

tinklykeys · 05/01/2015 09:38

Happy

Hope that works, for those asking about Happy who missed it.

CrazyTights · 05/01/2015 09:56

The poster whose DH died suddenly in the US when on business. I do hope she and her children are OK.

Was the poster with cancer Beccajoh?

CiderwithBuda · 05/01/2015 10:06

Housebaelish - was that DashingRedhead? She posted a few days ago. She is having treatment and it is exhausting her. Was supposed to have a stem cell transplant yesterday but there were issues with the donor.

cubedmelon · 05/01/2015 10:19

I've namechanged a lot but used to look for updates from Tunnocks. I went off mumsnet for a while but still thought of Tunnocks and was hoping to see an update now I'm back.

hollyisalovelyname · 05/01/2015 10:30

Thank you Tinkly.
It's just so sad. Happy was so brave yet so vulnerable. She didn't realise her true worth. May her children lead happy lives.

BOFster · 05/01/2015 10:43

The sad (or perhaps happy) thing is, people kill off online personas in dramatic ways all the time, so unless I'd seen something a bit more convincing that a 'concerned relative' posting on a forum, I'd be reluctant to unquestioningly believe an account of a poster's suicide if they weren't known in RL to others.

CrapBag · 05/01/2015 10:54

Good thread (and very sad) as there are quite a few on here I remember.

That garage one, I think she never got to know what was inside and she accepted it, i'my sure that is usually posted when these threads come up.

Thanks to those who have updated their own situation. I always remember WeAreEternal and the school illness/holiday one.

I lurked on Happy's thread. What a tragic situation. I think the mental health services really let her down.

I have just read LostJenny thread. What a heartbreaking situation. It seems there are others in similar situation and it is so so sad. Sad I don't normally get emotional from theads but I feel very sad right now.

CrapBag · 05/01/2015 10:56

If hiddenhome wants to tell us what colour the fence ended up then unfortunately, I am interested (maybe I need a life).

WannaBe · 05/01/2015 11:06

iirc the poster whose dh died in the US posted recently that a friend had been round and had a go because the dc had broken into a selection box and friend's ds isn't allowed chocolate so friend said she was better off without a husband etc etc. think that was the one but think they're doing as well as expected.

I often wonder about tunnocks too, never posted on her threads but lurked on them.

windymila · 05/01/2015 15:31

There was a thread on the pregnancy board recently about a lady who's waters had broken early (I think at 18 weeks) and she ended up having the baby very prematurely. The thread has gone, and I didn't see anything about it. Does anyone know what happened? I followed her story for weeks and fear the worst has happened :(

WannaBe · 05/01/2015 15:34

she was a troll windy.
