Re: earlier "I want to see Dad without Evil Stepmother" thread

[LoveIsAVerb]

Hello hello!

Just to let people know that I just deleted my thread from yesterday, which was about whether I was being unreasonable for wanting to see Dad without my stepmother. I got a bit freaked out by how much personal info I'd revealed (seem to have conveniently forgotten, when I posted it, that MumsNet is quite a popular website and someone who I know irl might see it!).

But I wanted to say a big thank you again to people who contributed. Some of it was so incredibly helpful. I'm going to try to recede back into "watching, but not commenting" mode now, but feel free to DM/PM/whatever the lingo here is if you like!

Massive thanks again!

PS: I found this quite funny - literally 50/50 as to whether I'm being a total dickhead (which, tbf, mirrors my own self-assessment) 😅

I always wanted to see my mum without my annoying stepdad lurking around making stupid comments on everything I talked about. Unfortunately she died recently so now I never will

I'm so sorry for your loss 💕

I didn't realise, when I posted this, that you can't actually delete a thread on here, so it's still up if you're interested in the gory details lol (though seems to have gotten derailed with talk about doctors, social class and universities?!): www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5238855-to-want-to-see-my-dad-without-my-awful-stepmum-sometimes
