AIBU to be upset about a facebook group

AIBU staying in a facebook group?

I have had a quick name change!

I'm a member of a large facebook group for natural parents who are also science aware. This group has been a fantastic resource and support network but its all gone wrong. The people running the page all have their own issues and are ganging up on other members for what seems like no reason.

I have thought long and hard about leaving the group because it seems like playground bullying but i just cant seem to do it.

They are great when you need your hand holding and will help you with any problem you could think of. They have a fantastic support network of Nutella addicts and people with difficulties like ADHD and depression I'm not sure there there is a better community.

BUT posting in it can be like stepping onto a nest of vipers. People having mental health problems can be kicked out for no good reason OR supported with people being sent round to check on them or taxis being called and paid for by the group when fleeing a husband. It just depends if you are in with the right crowd or not.

There are many LGBTQ members and there are a lot who are in relationships or who have experimented with eachother and this is causing tension on the group.

I cant seem to leave but i can't seem to stay and I don't even know these people in real life.

How in all holy fuck do I get an invite into this group?

I LOVE DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 11:50

Yeah Evening, it was a slow process from bewildered to fully accepted into the inner sanctum. But once you're in, you're in. And then there's nowhere to hide...

user1510568216 · 14/06/2018 11:51

Lol @StormcloakNord Grin

Jux · 14/06/2018 11:51

Fuckofoutofsanpthen, does that mean that those in the know are also thinking it's obvious who you are?

Can I join? I like a bit of a bust up. I could accompany you all on the uke...gwan, you know you want me Grin

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 11:53

As evidenced by Fuckoffoutofsanpthen's posts. Her stalking skills are second-to-none.

She has four pairs of salt-water sandals. Much skill. Very creepy.

poddige · 14/06/2018 12:00

@OkMaybeNot and we all know what they say about a woman with four pairs of saltwater sandals.

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 12:15

She has very smelly feet poddige?

MadeleineMaxwell · 14/06/2018 12:18

Fuckoffoutofsanpthen knows who everyone is...and she's watching you...

Muha.

Spudlet · 14/06/2018 12:23

Niugboo it's becoming very obvious who you are

She knows who you are. She will find you, and she will Nutella the FUCK out of you.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 12:26

Barbara didn't do it - I have that on good authority from the shop in Cornwall.

If the dog has just been upstairs and weed on my bed I will be cross.

user1510568216 · 14/06/2018 12:26

Still don't know what Barbara has done. Terence is a sex aid Hmm. Now off to google what the hell saltwater sandles are Grin. The thread that keeps on giving. Please let it still be here when I finish work tonight.

midgetgem2211 · 14/06/2018 12:28

Stop it I'm supposed to be working!

Atthebottomofthesea · 14/06/2018 12:30

User we also need to know how to tell a rabbit and hare apart.

watchingwithinterest · 14/06/2018 12:30

Leave and join something more fun, you can't be emotionally dependent on a bunch of strangers on the internet. If you need a hand hold go and find a real person to spend time with.

It sounds unhealthy even without the addiction elements to chocolate spread Confused

niugboo · 14/06/2018 12:31

@fuckoffoutofsanpthen I wasn’t aware I was trying to conceal who I am? Or was that a threat?

ZionistShizLord · 14/06/2018 12:32

I'm Barbara

BringMeTea · 14/06/2018 12:33

Fight, fight, fight fight!

ZionistShizLord · 14/06/2018 12:34

I'm definitely not Terrance :bleugh

niugboo · 14/06/2018 12:34

@spudlet thanks for the heads up. I wasn’t sure who I was so it’s good to know it’s obvious.

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 12:35

Fuckoffoutofsanpthen outside Barbaras house like.

This is amazing.

sanptillidie · 14/06/2018 12:38

The problem as I see it is, one prominent rcently ex member is taking the brunt of everyones anger, even though she is not in the group so could hardly have been doing the screenshotting mentioned. People on both sides are jumping to conclusions about whats going on in groups they aren’t in, and its not helping the vulnerable people at the heart of the drama.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 12:38

Shit! Barbara's at my door!! She's got salty sandals - even though it's rainy. What shall I do?
Gary and Tony are with her and they have a spider plant in a macrame holder.
