This is outing so daily fail please kindly sod off.
Long story short-
Someone I knew through an old job was a school mum knew her to say hello and chat to (nn her dc were aged 7 and 10) we’ll call her Doris
My child having difficulties at the school plus we were moving house we moved him to a different school in location during reception year. Positive move very happy we did so.
Doris through numerous conversations she had contacted me about decided that she would also move her kids Also.
I felt sorry for Doris as had a bad relationship with the old school pta didn’t like her, governors etc
Anyway when she started at the new we became closer I introduced her to school mums and also my group of friends I’ve known forever.
Doris then fell out with a very close friend of mine -threatened my friend and told me I had to stop seeing my dear friend- I’m 42 years old so told her that was absolute nonsense.
Since then Doris has been aggressive to me friend numerous times. I’ve managed to avoid Doris due to lockdown.
I found out my friends whom d had added on Facebook after meeting them all once that she had been posting messages on fb about toxic people etc aimed at me. A few people contacted me when they realised we had fallen out to warn me Doris can get quite nasty and has been reported to the police before over threatening school mums at old school.
She tried to buy the house next door to me in our new village but luckily was outbid.
Luckily I’ve been able to avoid her currently and I’ve ignored that’s trying to befriend all the new schools I have and just my distance from her.
However I’ve bumped into her on my daily walk twice in my new village and she’s acting weird. This morning she was literally stood and gasping at my children as we walked past. I shouldn’t have but I asked her not to stare at us and she started shouting and said i should watch my manners in front of my kids I was so angry.
I’ve messaged her and told her to not talk to me in front of children but she’s ignored me.
I will obviously continue to keep my distance and avoid her but this is all weird isn’t it?

Apologies for length of post and general playground drama - I thought I was over that a good few years ago!

It's weird, yes. She seems the thrive on drama.
The only sensible thing to do is to block her on any SM and ignore her when you see her.

AryaStarkWolf · 18/01/2021 17:06

Yeah it's very weird behavior but agree with PP, all you can do is block her wherever possible and ignore her in person

Fatfunt · 18/01/2021 17:06

I don’t think the daily mail will be interested in your story 😂😂
But yeah, she’s weird!!

FanOfTheCheese · 18/01/2021 17:07

I reckon that the Daily Fail search for that phrase when they are on the look out for stories.

Pipandmum · 18/01/2021 17:09

I had a friend who had a breakdown and complete personality change. There is something going on with her mental health.

SnuggyBuggy · 18/01/2021 17:11

She sounds like an immature and strange woman. Maybe she has some issues she needs help for but it's not something you can solve so I'd just keep avoiding.

SnowFields · 18/01/2021 17:15

Why on earth did you talk to her today? Just ignore her and leave things.

They just edit it out anyway.
StepOutOfLine · 18/01/2021 17:18

Why on earth would two grown women not talking to each other anymore be worthy of a news article?
Doris sounds like a character in one of those dreadful self published Kindle psycho mate books.
You're well shot of her.

Polomintini · 18/01/2021 17:19

When people tell you that the staff and governors at a school have it in for them then this is rarely the whole story...should have been a big red flag from the beginning!

FanOfTheCheese · 18/01/2021 17:21

Think you are right reading it back it sounds like a blood point horror synopsis 🙄
Except it’s my life at the minute until her dc leave the school anyway couple more years yet!

Notimeforaname · 18/01/2021 17:24

Yea stay away from her. Warn any of your other friends of this woman's behaviour so they know if she contacts them.
Ignore her every time you see her.

If you're really worried or it happens to get nastier,write it all down and report if necessary. But just block and ignore. And tell everyone you know to do the same.
She should move on soon.

FanOfTheCheese · 18/01/2021 17:34

I hope she does move on and soon. This morning I was angry but as the days gone on I feel unnerved by the whole situation

It’s just a matter of deescalating. Small half smile as she walks past so she can’t accuse you of blaming her, don’t engage and stay polite. It can only become something if you engage with it in some ways. People who create drama with someone who is calm and polite end up looking very silly indeed.

Donotdelete · 18/01/2021 17:51

Blanking not blaming

ToughLoveLDN · 18/01/2021 17:57

She sounds like she might be a little unwell.

Block, delete and ignore her. You still have your group of friends.

FanOfTheCheese · 18/01/2021 18:49

Yes and thank goodness my friendship group can see what she is like - I don’t think the schools mums know either of us well enough to know what’s going on but hopefully we can keep our distance once school opens up
