Rollercoaster
I have just logged back on after my post on Monday night at me sisters and am absolutely gutted that you are suggesting my post is a fantasy. This is even more upsetting because it's taken me five years to be able to open up (albeit) to a bunch of faceless strangers and some of the comments I received have begun to help me deal with my past (which I'm not proud of).
I am a regular mumsnetter under another name (this is not the sort of thing I felt able to use my normal name for). I'm sure that are some people who feel it necessary to create stories in order to get attention and they are obviously in need of support of some sort and I would never openly accuse anyone of lying as you have done. I am not one of these.
Most of my posts have been in response to other people's questions rather than asking for advice or help myself and I plan (under my proper user name) to continue to help where I can).
My thread is genuine and I would have thought (having just re-read it now), that you could tell that immediately from the style and way in which it was written. Loads of spelling mistakes and obviously written from the heart, not pre-planned and drafted in Word for example!
I'm sorry that you felt it necesary to question my integrity but if you don't think someone is genuine, why don't you just ignore them and not give them "the benfit of your wisdom" as I'm sure they wouldn't welcome it.
I would just add that in between posting on my thread on Monday, I saw the troll thread and the comment "However I am rather concerned that the post a few days back ... and one more recently MIGHT be taking the pi$$". I did get a bit paranoid but dismissed it. It seems sadly I was wrong.
Hope you never have someone calling you a liar and thanks for knocking me down again.
