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?

@Noshowlomo I think their name was rainminusbow or something. I remember those threads too and they were heart-wrenching. Someone came on another thread similar this one a while later to say it was all made up! That'll teach me to get too invested

Pamela from NI who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died last year. She had a 16 or 17 year old son and fought so hard to beat the cancer. Heartbreaking.

Claire was definitely real. I think of her mum a lot as I'm fairly local. She posted the death certificate on here in response to the trolls who wouldn't believe her which she should never have had to do.

Anyfvker was just about to say this yes !!!

I often think about the lovely posters who advised me to run for my life 6 years ago when my ex attacked me and the baby

It was this day
6 years ago

Mother's Day

I hid in the toilet at a cinema and lots of kind people helped 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I was going to say this. Pamela had bile duct cancer and documented her journey throughout. I still think about this thread. What a brave lady she was. I hope her husband and son are doing OK.

I am still friends with some on Facebook. Others were not the people they appeared to be.
I have changed my username now and don't come on here much at all.
I wasted a lot of time on here for years. I suspect I was taken in by a lot of trolls. It was a sort of escape for me at that time My life has changed immeasurably since then. Been to hell and back several times.
Realised that this is a tiny microcosm that doesn't necessarily reflect society as a whole and that although I was an outsider who wanted to be part of this tribe, that my tribe was never here.

I saw him summoned on a thread the other week! And he appeared and offered his expert advice on a bathroom renovation I think.

Don’t remember the usernames but there was a really upsetting thread where a woman had her young male relative (half brother? Nephew?) who was being fostered by other family members and was being subject to the most awful emotional abuse. She was going to report to social services and try to foster him herself. I wonder now and then whether she got him out. I really do hope so.

There was another horrendous one where a lady was on a campsite in France and this couple abandoned their young daughter there. I assumed it was taken down due to the nature of it. Never saw it in the news though but I wonder how that turned out. Poor little love.

A lovely poster by the name of Tomatoplantproject who was having to face the breakdown of her marriage. I still think of her and I hope life is treating her and her daughter well n

I remember zombie very well. I loved the way she wrote.

Amazed people say they miss bluntness, she was horrible to people, often.

The one recently by lovely lady who was in an awful relationship with an abusive DP and horrible kids who fleeced her and gaslighted her. She eventually realised she could leave them and she did. She went on a trip she'd always wanted to NYC.

Shiney and the blind date in the penguin enclosure

Hi everyone,
There are two threads i'd love to have an update on.

1. a mother gave her adult children a lottery scratch card at the dinner table and one of them won a large amount (e.g £250 000). They then posted as family thought it should be shared between all adult children) but poster thought it was their win alone- I always wonder what happened.

2. a lady is divorced and send her daughter to a private school. She then dates a man on a low income who also had his own daughter. The poster then invited them to live with her but was surprised when the mans daughter mentioned how excited she was that she would be soon going to private school !!! The whole replies to the post was it was up to the boyfriend and his ex if their daughter went to private school and not because he had a wealthy girlfriend. I wonder what happened and if they are still together.

I hope this makes sense and any updates would be most welcome.

I can't remember the posters name but she worked on a market stall and had grown up children, then had a later in life baby who had Down Syndrome. I remember her posting about how her daughter needed heart surgery at a few months old. I hope she's doing fine now.

The one who wasn't going to be around for long and was worried about her child...she updated alot then suddenly the updates stopped.

CogitoErgoSum (or something similar) who was on the Relationships board. Always sound advice.

Oh god. I've still the dents in my forehead from that wall I kept nutting trying to get her to understand Covid stats. She'd go on about only 23 people had Covid in the whole of the UK when every day in the daily wotsit they were giving the number of deaths.
She wasn't denying Covid or any kind of conspiracy, she just didn't understand the numbers. But kept wanging on that she was right.

I often think about the lady who screamed in the cistine chapel
The one who makes ‘to die for picnics’ compared to the people who prefer to grab a burger at a theme park
some of the people with potential illness and waiting for diagnosis who never came back- I wonder if they’re ok

I remember long long ago a poster called Hecate who was so kind and wise and helpful.

Oh i think of her often too! I hope her family are doing ok

Claires mum is my cousin. The nurse who posted didn’t exist.

I hadn’t been in contact with my cousin for about 50 years but something said on the thread prompted me to think - I’m sure this is my cousin. And it was.

We have both lived many thousands of miles away from our hometown for decades but we both visit frequently. We’re trying to be there together very soon.

MrsKoala. Had a life that seemed to be incredibly chaotic. Posted relentlessly. And then disappeared!
