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?

A Wonderful woman a few years ago - cannot remember her username-
But she was fostering a baby born to an opioid addict and seeing the tiny baby through withdraws ( albeit medicated) was traumatic.
The little one grew to a toddler

What was absolutely heartbreaking, the wonderful mum had cancer which caused her to pass away.

I’m not sure, but I think she referred to her foster daughter as “ Ladybird”
She took on the tricky babies probably because of her fostering experience.

A truly lovely woman
I cried when I learned she had died.

She would have given such stability to those vulnerable young children.

If someone remembers her username, I’ll recognise it I think.

A good few years ago now.

Does anyone remember RoseWhiteTips? She had a certain style that made me wonder whether she and Bluntness were the same poster (I had run ins with both!)

BertrandRussell I'm pretty I know her IRL. For a long time I had my suspicions about who she was and then the person I suspected to be her actually posted something on her social media about Bertrand Russell.

She also stopped being as active on social media around the same time BertrandRussell disappeared from MN.

I've never told her and never would and I'd never out her.

There was a repeat poster who had multiple escape threads over many years. Renting or buying flats and escaping to a new life after many many posts over months. They were outed a few times but came back with a new fantasy escape story.

Was red toothbrush them? Sounds true to the general theme of their threads

I remember many from the Oldies, particularly JanH who was lovely and supported me when I was so miserable trying to end my marriage and who drove 4 hours to spend the day with me when it finally happened.

She used to pop in on my Facebook from time to time, so looking at this thread I thought on checking on her.

First photo in her Facebook was the sympathy Mumsnet blanket, she passed away last summer. I’m heartbroken 🙁

OpheliaRose, I think about her often too.

Me too. Got a bad rep but I thought was actually very pragmatic and sensible most of the time.

A poor lady who fell asleep with her premature newborn sleeping on her and woke up and the baby was dead. Her husband blamed her but the posters all said baby was vulnerable and would have died anyway and at least he died peacefully in her arms. She was blaming herself. I think about her all the time and hope she was able to accept it was not her fault and get through all that grief and trauma

Edit: I googled the foster mother of the addicted baby..Her name was

''Earth mother I'm not'''

Sadly both babies died, there was an update and a new thread from the poster around Christmas time.

Unfortunately she lost both of her children. She posted a couple more times since on other threads but haven’t seen her in a while. I think about her too.

Chickencuddle. I really hope she managed to leave. Her posts always stayed with me because it was a stream of low level abuse that would be so easy to explain away. It made it even more affecting and sad to see how powerless she must have felt.

I hadn't seen the Pamela threads but just read them all. What an incredible woman. And what a total fucker cancer is.

Was this the Will that also used to post?

A woman whose whose husband was moving her into his mother’s house for three weeks between house sale and purchase. Dodgy as Hell as we told her that there isn’t usually a 3 week gap. He’d told her it was normal. She didn’t want to go because last time she stayed there she was treated like a servant and not allowed to leave the house or use the toilet when she needed it. She was advised not to go. She had a baby. I’ve been worrying about her. Does anyone know what happened to her?

There’s a long term poster who started asking last year for a hand hold for an undiagnosed condition which sounded more and more like quite serious mental health issues/anxiety and she was very worried she was going to die and has a child.

Claire's mum. This was not long ago, last year. Her adult daughter died after days of struggle. I hope she's OK.

The one I’d most like an update on is the lady who was pregnant when her DH was in a bad car accident. In hospital she used his finger (he was unconscious) to open his iPad to text their older child and discovered he was cheating on her. She was planning to leave but then I think must have name changed

I can’t remember the posters name but there was someone who posted about her daughters dancing career. Does anyone remember her name?

Crumbs had to be my favourite on here although I can’t find any of her posts now. A total fantasist but her posts made me laugh anyway.

Katymac

The lady that lost her teenage daughter after she went on roaccutane. I’ve seen a couple of her posts and wonder how she is.

Thanks for those who remember my Claire. The support I received here was incredible and kept me going through there 28 days of horror, until it wasn't.

It is one year tomorrow, and my DH and DS, DIL and Two DGS's will be going to the zoo, her favorite place in San Francisco.

BitOfFun, she was lovely

Many hugs to you
I will be thinking of you and Claire tomorrow 🌹

I always wonder if I’ve ever unknowingly crossed paths with AnyFucker

Yes, that was MrsKoala.
