Angry stepmum needs to vent

207 replies

Just that really.
I've been moaned at before for letting my DPs ex take up headspace but when you have upset kids in your house it's hard not to.
So now this bio mother who paints herself out to be an 'amazing mummy' and us to be evil bastards has cut off the final way DSC could contact her. Literally nothing now. And the fact that she's done it right after contact was made by DSC is utterly heartbreaking. How can someone be so fucking cruel.
Backstory is long but don't want to be inundated with 'detach' and 'oh you again' but in a nutshell bio mother chose NC but never admitted it to anyone else but us and the DSC

Not tonight, no. That’s why I’m on mumsnet.

You?

actuallyspeechless · 11/10/2017 20:40

Right now you're just being facetious so I'm going to stop replying to you now. Sure you'll find someone else to pick apart soon enough 👍🏻

Actually just for shits and giggles if you think I'm such a serial poster and you can always tell who I am when did I last post?

There must be people terribly insecure in their children's lives if they fear the use of the work 'bio' when used in this situation

Oh river that’s hilarious. Talk about reaching Grin

Hi all, we are receiving a large number of reports about this thread and are going to go through it now. Bear with us for a while, thanks.

actuallyspeechless · 11/10/2017 21:33

MNHQ I sincerely hope I'm not being reported for using MN to vent Sad

Reports about what Confused

Blackcatonthesofa · 11/10/2017 21:33

Op, maybe you should do a NC and start a new post say that the dad or mum has left (posing as the other parent) and ask how you can console your kids. Or some similar lie that people will believe just so you get the support you need. I feel that you are given a hard time on here while you are trying your best. Please carry on with the kids, they need you.

Blackcatonthesofa · 11/10/2017 21:35

I have reported on people actively taking over this thread to derail it just to spite the OP. I guess that Im not the only one. A discussion is fine but this is OPs thread and some people refuse to give her some space on here for support.

actuallyspeechless · 11/10/2017 21:37

Thank you Blackcat
I really do shield DSC from everything I possibly can and have done for ages

OP posts:
HelloSquirrels · 11/10/2017 21:37

blackcat ah i see. Thought op was being reported for some unknown reason!

Blackcatonthesofa · 11/10/2017 21:39

Could be but not by me. I don't mind discussions and different views but this thread reads like one attack after another.

actuallyspeechless · 11/10/2017 21:48

Wow so only my responses have been deleted. Thanks a bunch MNHQ seems the step mum hating vultures win again Sad

Just read through this and OP I think you do great by your DSC. I also think you've responded well to the arsehole brigade who seem to think that all stepmothers are child stealing bitches who want to sell the kids to aliens to experiment on or something equally bullshitty.

As an aside, do you remember when you could just come and have a bit of a vent and you'd get wine sent your way. Then told to woman the fuck up and get on with it? I liked that version of MNet.

THAT WILL ONLY HAPPEN IF SHE PULLS HER HEAD OUT OF HER ARSE AND DOESNT WANT TO JUST BE 'BIO MUM' !!!

I think you'll finger it's probably your deliberete goadines and troll hunting that got you deleted

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 11/10/2017 21:56

That's far from accurate, actuallyspeechless, as you can see (we did say 'bear with us', these things take time).

We have removed a fair amount of trollhunting and goading, and would greatly appreciate it if it did not reoccur. If posters are concerned that an OP is a troll, they should report it to MNHQ, and if they feel that they have heard similar stories from the same poster again and again and she is not taking their advice, they should possibly just save themselves the stress, click off the thread and find another.

actuallyspeechless · 11/10/2017 21:58

Sorry again Helen
I am definitely not a troll - my life is actually this stressful 😔
