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 poster a few years ago. Married, no dc. Her h was clearly controlling and abusive. He had totally isolat€d her - from her family, she worked for him so no financial independence etc. he even dictated when she went to bed, what she ate etc. over many threads and name changes she came to realise. Her first escape attempt was to sign up for teacher training. She did it secretly at first but he nixed it and manage to convince her she would be terrible at it. Then a bit later she was poised to leave. Even found a flat. And then she went silent and I never came across her again. I think about her A LOT.

there’s a similar situation happening currently with a poster and I think it’s why I find myself ridiculously invested. I feel like the other one might never have got away and maybe this woman might.

ps I am pretty sure Laqueen is still her. Different name.

Me too - such a wonderful woman.

There's a poster who I'm sure is still active, but she's had several threads about her abusive husband - he sexually assaults her and emotionally abuses the children. She gets close to leaving, and I think made it to a refuge at one point, but goes back. I think of her often

I can’t remember the story 100% accurately, but the lady who’s husband had all cameras round the house. He was working away and contacted her to ask where she had gone or why the cameras were off.

Also the lady whose cat got into the neighbours house and she used a bunch of crazy/hilarious methods to get the cat out.

There was also the lady who was in a dv relationship but I do believe with the support of a MNer she helped her leave.

Oh and the lady who’s husband was at a golf day but turned out her was having an affair.

I think I spend too much time reading haha!! But I often wonder what happened to this woman. The lady with the husband and cameras often pops into my head!

I'm sure the Australian lady did a follow up, the relationship petered out and her son was starting to thrive again

There was a thread around 5 years ago by a woman who's partner was coming come and 'playing' very roughly with their small DC who was under 1. Throwing him in the air etc and caused several injuries such as nose bleeds.

My youngest was the same age and the thread turned my blood cold.

Pretty sure no one else will remember this but it's stayed with me as I was so horrified

Pamela and Kier and whether that was ever real.

That was comedy gold and the sheep at the village gathering with Christmas lights on them.

I remember the thread about the lad in Australia with the toxic girlfriend, I wonder how that worked out?

Trexing in the supermarket had me howling and there was a couple of similar threads to that one but I can’t remember the posters name, I think it was maybe Sharon?

I loved reading Somervilles threads

I remember all of these I joined in 2009.

Riven, was Riveninside. I think the press coverage became a double edged sword for her.

It's the children in some of the situations that I think about. But there are a few threads were I hope they've all got out.

Been on here for a very long time, anyfucker was/is my favourite - always has been.

Feel like I've not seen her on here for a while though?

Does anyone know the name of the poster whose son was in a toxic abusive relationship? Been trying to find out how she (and he) is.
Was it purple something?

Crumbs could be an arse at times I seem to remember but most of the time it was a hoot reading her latest Jilly-Cooper stylie posts.

It was a lovely made up life with an enormous house in the perfect village, talented gorgeous DC invited to private festivals and islands by their pals from school, having Tony Blair round for 'sups' parties with lashings of Cumberland sauce and 14 types of glassware.

I HAD to dig out a post for those unfamiliar with her 😆

"Unashamedly a Christmas snob. It’s such a beautiful celebration I like it done ‘properly’. Christmas not Xmas Father Christmas not Santa Real tree and lots of greenery throughout house. Fresh flowers. Nothing inflatable. Stockings hung by fireplace not pillowcases. Presents under the tree for opening after lunch. Advent Calendar is an heirloom with little presents in each box. We have homemade fresh wreaths and Advent candle ring. Our nativity set takes centre stage.

Christmas Eve is a village event so bizarre nativity from pub to church. Then supper with whoever picks names out ( might be friends might be strangers - everyone goes to one of about 10 houses and eats the same things). Finishes with Hark the Herald in village square at 1130pm ready for Midnight Mass. Children bring presents rather than receive them.

Boxing Day we do drinks"

The poster who lived in France and separated from her controlling husband but had to continue to co-parent their two teenage children with him - haven’t heard from her for a while.

one relatively young (mid-twenties) poster whose name I can't remember - I think there was a regina in there somewhere but I'm not sure.

She had it all figured out. She and her husband had worked hard at university, got themselves fantastic jobs, and had children before they were 25. Her life was perfect and if only we'd made sensible choices we could all have had perfect lives too.

That was in the Before Times. Either she namechanged or she isn't here any more...

Quintessential the nice Norwegian.

DaughterDrowninginJunk.

And on a totally different note, the poster whose mother had done such a number on her that she was unable to imagine a world in which she was allowed to have desires, let alone attempt to realise them.

I occasionally think about Kateandthegirls (I think that was her username). Her DH was killed on 9/11.

I also often wonder about the Ginny situation (the OP had at transwoman working in her who wanted to use the women's toilets and kept talking all the time about sanitary products).

@LaPalmaLlama I hadn't realised it was TwitterQueen. So sad.

The son in an abusive relationship poster is PurpleLampShades.
Not the Australian one that ended happily.
This one is still ongoing sadly

Apple something who was sent home from work, then they deleted the mail (which she had backed up) and tried to fire her for something. If I remember rightly they tried to pin a whole load of shit on her. I think it was to do with a holiday request, but I might have got 2 mixed up.

Now I think about it I haven't seen Worraliberty around recently.

Where’s Anyfucker and her wise, succinct replies?

It certainly was. I know the church where her funeral was held.

The poster (I can't remember her name, impressed that people remember names!) who had a pool in the garden and a large animal had died in it. She was too scared to go and look and some lovely posters were offering to go and empty the pool. I hope she got it sorted and managed to enjoy her garden afterwards.

Gigondas. So lovely, such tragedy.
