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.

I'm unaware of science, I'm a UOSP - I know technically that should be 'I'm an UOSP'** but the a/an vowel thing didn't work so fuck it.

Although I did learn today that the moon has a 1/6 of gravity that Earth had and Jupiter has such a stupid amount of gravity that if you visited the gravitational pull would kill you. It would literally crush you.

ScienceAware they sound like a Viz comic, would they maybe find life easier if they went and worked in Ikea? Do any of them work and have high faluting jobs? Like head of PR for the world? Or do they hate their lives and are doing this to make them feel like they're extra, especially important? Because in old money they'd just be called wankers. Or twats. Or idiots.

None of them could work in ikea they would all be found injecting kallax and mastrabating with the socktopus' while crying out 'Trigger warning! Sexual content and drug use'

Just RTFT and I'm not sure it helped

Mathsdebating - it's the new self-pleasure for science aware parents.

I've only just stumbled upon this completely fucking bonkers thread and after reading 600-odd posts I am STILL NONE THE WISER as to what a science-aware natural parent is or what this lot talk about in their group.

The Nutella Sex and Boob Job Fund bits sounds promising. But all the airing of dirty laundry online, a sex-crazed cult leader and vegan fucking sandals?

HARD PASS.

Scienceawarenaturalparent · 24/06/2018 12:50

Well as mentioned on the new post I have been kicked out

I've just read this thread from start to finish.

I'm now questioning my existence (and the jar of Nutella in my cupboard)
