Posters you still think about

[Helfs]

Proof I probably spend too much time on here but does anyone else have posters they still think about every now and again?

Mine is the Australian poster whose son was in the abusive relationship and her many threads about helping him get out of the relationship and realizing she was toxic.

Can’t find the threads at all now but I hope her and her son are still doing well!

Does anyone else have stand out posters or threads that stick in their minds?

I went off Anyfucker in lockdown. So quick to tell others to LTB, no consideration of practicalities for women. In lockdown she revealed she had a second home. Someone affluent enough to be a double home owner smartly and assuredly telling other women to LTB and into dire poverty, really pissed me off.

Was her user name zombie something or other? Very very sad.

I miss sparklingbrook very much

And scottishmummy

This post is like deja vu.
that mum came back and said all was well… months ago.

for me, it’s the poster who said her dad found a secret door that lead to a small dark room with a telly and bed, just off the garage.

I remember three of these,
Scottish mummy I think she typed 'words on a screen' once and it was just funny if it was her. Very blunt and to the point.
La queen - farrow and ball posts that seemed to wind people up!
Bonsoiranna I think? Often talked about French women and fashion?

The names I remember:
Trinity Rhino
Riven - I remember her clearly.

BitofFun and the beautiful portrait her partner painted - if I recall correctly.

And of course.. COD!

The one I think of was a woman who thought she had cancer, was a single mum with a daughter but got the all clear and we had a little banter about wearing red lipstick to celebrate.

Yes. I worry about some of the ones who've been flamed. There are some people who are a bit lonely on here and there are also some utter bullies

Gosh, some of these names bring back memories. I joined this site when my firstborn was about three and is now 17.

MrsDeVere was a wonderful poster and gave me a lot to think about during a difficult time that I posted about and she was super supportive.

Scottishmummy - I had a lot of disagreements with her but respected her viewpoint and that she was sharp as a tack. That goes for Dittany as well.

AnyFucker - another poster where I respected her forthrightness and insight even when I disagreed vehemently with her.

Also very clearly remember expatinscotland and her daughter.

So many more - I remember the headgirl clique with cod and others. It was a very different vibe back then, much smaller and distinctive.

Think about it, I think she was a nanny.
I remember Sparklingbrook, didn’t she love DuranDuran?
Also Woraliberity, or something.

The new man was just as bad and she knew having a baby would be the final nail in the coffin with her sons. But she contradicted herself a lot so I hope it wasn't real.

Sorry if she has already been mentioned but I cannot get through over 300 posts! But ghost spirit. She has about six kids I think and a very chaotic sounding life with an ex who was coming and going. She seemed like a sweet woman who made quite terrible decisions.

There was a poster called Meowthecat who was kind and gave me helpful advice when my son was a baby.

Just searched and found the threads. Mum changed her name to EdgarAleandPie. It was in 2011 and the little boy was called Leo. If you’re reading this, Leo’s Mum, there’s a stranger who thinks about your little boy when March comes around. I hope you’re doing OK.

She's still around, she's posted loads of threads recently under different usernames.

I think of Pamela often too, I won't forget her.

Another poster I think of which was just a random thread among so many was a poster who got rid of an unbelievable CF of a cocklodger who was giving her only £60 a week towards rent, bills, food etc (as in less than it actually cost her to house him) and then tried to charge her petrol money for taking her sick child to hospital in his car. I hope she managed to stand firm and not take him back and found happiness with a decent person.

I always think of gaelicsiog and TheFirstMrsDeWinter (the first one I managed to Google so at least one other person thinks she existed but I may have the second one wrong).
The first had a dreadful ex who wanted to have about 8 children in 2 bedrooms and kept insisting her DD lived there 50/50 but had no room for her IIRC.
The second had an abusive H who was trying to get her pregnant by stealth when she was trying to escape via education.

And the other one was dellacucina who did name change so may be around.

Anyone got any clue what happened to them?

Oh interesting. I hope she's ok. Her life seemed so hard

The mum whose 15year old son has been essentially groomed by an older woman and now she barely sees him and he has been isolated from everyone/thing he had in his life. Breaks my heart and I hope things will improve and he will come back.

Makes me realise that no matter how close we are to our children a bad relationship (or person) in their lives can change everything so quickly.

Once got a pasting from AF in her trademark blasée style. Swiftly cheered on by her groupies. People have even started threads dedicated to praising her, I could never see it myself. Then the lockdown post about “ I’m missing my second home dreadfully” , that was the cherry on the cake.

The one who was a swinger AMA. I was warning her about STDs/dangers etc etc and eventually I got chucked off! But I was only trying to help her 😔

Pamela was MillsonWillson or something similar.

Zombie was Zombie in different guises and talked about herself in the third person. Very strong woman ❤️

I remember that one like she was going to get rid of a dog she loves to keep him. There was another one said her brother's partner had a dog she refused to get rid of. Said the dog gets spoilt she paid for the dog not him. DB could'nt afford to treat his children not their children. She had no children so the dog was her child.

Yes, heaven forbid she should tell women they deserve better than to have their heads kicked in.
What does her having a holiday home have to do with anything?

The posters who post about leaving abusive/control relationships. I've been in a financially controlling relationship myself so do have an idea.

I remember her also, I was disappointed when she stopped posting.

@Emotionalsupportviper Most of it we have got back but unfortunately the part that got built on we are still contesting. Council don't care that something has been built without planning permission there at all and our legal advice hasn't been great either. At a dead end, especially as its getting too costly now really.
