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?

Not a particular poster for me but a particular post - a couple of years ago there was a thread about tell me your funny birth stories or something similar and it had me in tears of laughter! Hoping someone else remembers this one!

Tunnocks. She wrote so beautifully about her husband. I hope she and her two children have managed to rebuild their lives.

Aw, I was on her threads, we had a lovely wee group. Then I took a wee break from social media and Mumsnet and lost track of her. Her son was a bit younger than my daughter. I've name changed many times so can't even remember what my name was way back then!

Fairly recentish one last year - a young mother who'd been offered a flat near Glasgow, but had no knowledge of the area or contacts there.
She posted after moving and it seemed to be going really well for her - she was just so optimistic and delighted with the new opportunities.

& the first thing I ever read on here - a woman that had just had shellac nails done, but hadn't bought the CND cuticle oil; from her posts and the replies you'd have thought it was a matter of life and death; she seemed convinced her nails would fall out by the next morning.

That thread about the Scotland move is still going. She's been there for a year and is really happy and settled.

Yes, I remember this one and wonder what happened. When written out like that it doesn't sound like it could be real but I'm sure it was a longstanding poster. Quite a few years ago probably?

The thread was deleted.

Too many to mention and certainly the RL friends I made here during the epic saga of my divorce that spanned 3000 posts, have been the best thing to come out of it all. So many name changes but particularly WellWhoKnew. An absolutely amazing woman who I am grateful to have as a friend. I really miss Somerville. We used to chat privately and she was such a lovely lady. She had lost her husband but found love again and had another baby who I think became ill. Then she name changed. I think of her often and I hope she's ok!

The crow lady. I think about her all the time.

Actually I think I remember the name, begun with an E or LH. Might be completely wrong. If it was them, the posts/account seem to have been deleted. I hope she is doing well.

Sorry if someone’s already answered but it was purple lampshade and I don’t think she’s updated for ages

KendrickSmilled? not sure now about the KetteringSmilled??
loved her.

😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

LittleJennyWren, her posts were so sad.
Cath - the lady whose dd Pippa died. I hope her and her sons are doing well.
I often wonder what happened to Oddsocks.

OMG yes me too! Why on Earth didn't she update or did she just become crow dinner?

Ive been here since (all this was fields) my hulking teen was a shock pregnancy.

i do often think of the poignant ones like Emin and Cupofteaplease.

but is also reallywant to know what happened to that poor woman and her idiot husband who was convinced he’d been offered a football coach’s job in somewhere like Benin. He wasn’t particularly qualified and didn’t speak French but was adamant it wasn’t a scam (it totally was a scam) and was about to send a ‘registration fee‘ to the scammers.

hope she’s ok.

Thanks you @dapsnotplimsolls . I was dubious as at a similar time I was posting on what was the Australian version of Mumsnet. That website is now closed. It sounded exactly the same as what my family was going through. Lots of Aus mumsnetters will remember it. I was very honest, included lots of details and have met some of those lovely ladies IRL. Seems there were 2 of us in Australia suffering from the same thing!!
A warning for all you mums of sons to keep an eye out.

I remember that thread.. it was taken down on OPs request. Apparently there was someone in the village who was interested to buy the house OP bought so they were trying to spook them off.. OP and her DH thought there were people in village who supported him and were reading of what OP was going through from the thread on MN. I think (not 100% sure) OP sold that house and moved.

GentleOtter, she also had a blog about her life as a struggling tenant farmer in Scotland. She stopped updating, I'd love to know if she's OK.

I remember Scottishmummy and La Queen, I remember Talkinpeace and Garlic

Utterly creepy, plus the link to a recording of her voice on her deathbed.

from what I remember it was in front of the husbands mother, I can’t remember the exact reason why. A few people have mentioned it. Just found the thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/relationships/3290749-He-made-me-eat-paper

A few of these will be lost in the mists of time, but I have often thought of Lovely2012 (I think) over the years. A woman in a gilded-cage abusive situation with a chillingly controlling and sexually-coercive man. Hope she is free.

Of Magnetictiger who was seen as annoying and maybe was, but sometimes treated rather sharply.

Of a woman who was rendered stood-still around town because she saw a man who had been sexually inconsiderate at best. Jackhammering at her and the headboard, in one instance of their time together, if that jogs a memory. Clearly something was up about how he treated her, but the vibe was is that all? or to pull herself together, instead of 'That was shitty, have a deep dive on that for yourself'. Probably on AIBU 😒(I'm not her!)

Of Onitlikecarbonnet (sp.) - many threads I've lost, but I'm vaguely sure she and hers are fully free and clear of the sod.

Yes that's the one!

I also think about MoreLegsThanMe. Hope she’s doing well.
