Has anyone heard from Alone232? (think that was her name)

[BetterOffNow]

The lady who was kept home by her abusive DH and was trying to leave. I know her threads got taken down but I keep checking to see if there's any updates. Have I missed one or do we just hope she's managed to get away?

If she is/was having real issues she may not be online for safety,otherwise occupied
MN is an observation into someone else life, it’s not a news thread or entertainment and no poster is compelled to provide updates
I think you’re coming from a good place but it is somewhat over invested worrying about a stranger

What was the deletion message?

MNHQ will only take threads down if there’s very valid concerns about the OPs privacy (in which case she’s not going to update), if the poster is a troll, or if their post is against talk guidelines.

This is a bit of a parasocial relationship OP.

Don't give more then you are willing to lose (especially emotionally)

Thanks, I realise all of the above and I'm not lying awake thinking about her, I just wondered if I missed a thread as she changed her name often.
It's OK to care isn't it?

Wow that’s a bit of a leap! Showing empathy and wondering how someone is doing, is not a ‘parasocial relationship’ for goodness sake. Have you just learnt what that means by any chance and are therefore applying it to anything and everything?
A parasocial relationship is an obsession. Showing empathy by wondering how a vulnerable person is getting on, is far from an obsession! I think you need to spend an afternoon with a dictionary

I don't know the specific user you're talking about. But ignore the whole "parasocial relationship!" thing.
I've often wondered over the years how people I've read about on here are getting on. I think that's completely normal.

Jeez no wonder society has lost its empathy when you’re jumped on by a stranger for caring too much just incase …

I personally would rather give too much empathy and maybe a little too much thought and it turn out to be wasted empathy than walk past someone in need and they were genuine.

It’s nice to be nice .

I remember the poster OP , I hope she’s ok too:
