THis isn't a flounce

It isn't an exercise in getting people to post asking me not to go. Goodness knows you have all bee more than supportive of me in the past, and for that you will always have my greatful thanks.

Please continue to think of dh in your positive vibes, he needs all the help that he can get.

At the moment my world is full of pan, everything causes more, even christmas shopping for my two beautiful children left me wretched, as I don't know how many more I have with my darling, darling husband. Everywhere I look I see things that cause me more pain.

and like a fool I posted to openly, rested my grief on a virtual world. And in the end I caused myself more pain, as if I ever need any more.

I don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. In my heart of hearts I feel it will be bad, my darling has got so ill so fast.

Thank you for all of your help. I'll be asking MN to remove all my many posts and to ban me.

Think kindly thoughts of my good sweet man. Tonight my ds told me 'When I grow up I'm going to treat my children like daddy treats us'. I', going to spend whatever time I have left with this good, patient loving gentle man and my kids.

I am sorry you are having such a tough time at the moment - and I really hope your fears for your DH are wrong. I am sure there are people on here who will be in touch with you and will be able to help a little bit.

Best wishes.

I'm quietly orf too - sorry for sneaking in on your thread MB - probably time for a break, but very upset re comments about Xmas appeal (don't think pple will ever feel able to talk about being broke again) and your situation, so ofski. All good wishes to you and yours. Take care.

throckenholt · 28/11/2006 07:59

niceglasses - have a nice life .

It is a shame that people take things said on here so personally - hardly anyone actually knows the people reading threads and so there is no way comments can really be directed at the real person. But I guess reading things when you are emotionally fragile means you can get things out of perspective. .

MB, I wish things were better for you. Thinking of you, wish there was more I could do.

zippitippitoes · 28/11/2006 08:11

in my prayers

Tutter · 28/11/2006 08:15

really hope you get better news about dh soon x

hub2dee · 28/11/2006 08:17

Remember your old name, MB ?

Well, I hope with time it feels less alien and more appropriate. You've always been a spectacular MN poster, that magical balance of wit and fun and fact and compassion.

Hoping for a safe future for you and your flying man. X

(Oh, and I can't not post suggesting you don't go / don't ban yourself - myself and hundreds of others are far too fond of you to do that ! Take whatever time you need, but keep it as an open door).

tigermoth · 28/11/2006 08:20

Martianbishop, I will be sorry to see you go but I feel you are making the very best decision for you, your children and your darling dh. You have got your priorities exactly right for now.

I will be thinking of you, knowing how hard things will be, and hoping you grab every moment of happiness that you can with your lovely husband and children.

MB, take care,you are in my thoughts.
Hope special times are waiting for you, no matter what.

Mb, if you're reading, I know what it's like to want to leave mumsnet and to be so upset that you do but can I just beg you to consider not cutting us off as a source of support if you need it?

Whenever I've left (I've flounced a few times but I know this is not a flounce and is entirely different for you) I've usually come back because I really needed to know something and I knew mnetters would be able to answer my question/reassure me/take the piss, whatever. And in the time I've been away I've always missed the great people and the support I get here. There are some witches and vile people too, of course and I'm sorry if one of them got to you last night.

An awful lot of us 'know' you from here and like and respect you an awful lot and will happily listen if you want to talk/vent/attempt to take your mind off it by talking about something frivolous. So don't totally discount us if and when you need some virtual, as opposed to rl support. If you don't come back, we'll understand but I just wanted to let you know you're welcome back anytime. This is probably all bleeding obvious but what the heck, I'll say it anyway. My email is wickedwaterwitch a t g mai l d ot c o m if I can do anything. Sorry for crapping on for ages. xxxx

southeastastra · 28/11/2006 08:32

mb you have given me some great advice, i will really miss you. please don't stay away for too long. thinking of you and your family.

Sophiev73 · 28/11/2006 08:37

Ditto all these thoughts. You've been the only poster on MN that has made me laugh out loud in my PC cubby hole. Mostly about Enid Blyton and teaching. Not laughing with you now, though. Take care of you and yours, we're all staying if you fancy poking your nose in from time to time. thinking of you.

mb, that's the most moving post I've ever read. My heart goes out to you.

my email is Jan quinn 3 at aol dot com, please use it any time.

And please please continue to use mumsnet as and when you want or need to. Thanks for telling everyone you won't be here (at least for a while) as it means there won't be all the 'where is she' threads and avoids yourself being disturbed by those who have rl contact with you. But mn will still be here if you find you want or need it again.

Good luck in everything xxx

schneebly · 28/11/2006 08:46

MB - just seen this. It is understandable that you need to concenbtrate on RL right now. Just remember that we will still be here for you if you ever need us. Love and best wishes to you, DH and all your family. Thinking of you.xxx

MB - I'm really sorry to read this - I saw the thread last night and it was just horrible - you just didn't deserve that at all. I'll be thinking of you over the next few months. Do come back if you feel able to. x

Scootergirl · 28/11/2006 08:51

Praying for you and your family xxx

SnafuOutOfHiding · 28/11/2006 08:54

Much love, MB. I've been on and off MN for a while so haven't followed the details, but I have the gist, and I am so sorry. Completely understand why you've made this decision - but hope it's not permanent. You and yours are in my thoughts xx

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 28/11/2006 08:55

mb - I sort of expected to find this today

I know you have to go and concentrate on your lovely dh and your kids. Go - do it, but don't ban yourself, please. Keep this door open because there are people her who love you and respect you and want to be here for you.

Take care. X

CrocodileKate · 28/11/2006 08:56

MB my thougts and all my best wishes are with you and your dh.
You will be missed.
I so hope that everything works out well for you and your family.

This is horrific - I feel you really could do with the support from mumsnet right now and it's let you down big time. I'm so sorry for the way things are in your life at the moment and I'm sorry that ontop of all that your going through, you've got hurt from here to deal with as well.

Wishing you and your family everybit of luck with the future.

Marina · 28/11/2006 09:04

I didn't see this yesterday MB although I was one of the people who reported the posts earlier.
I think Tigermoth and Tamum, both such wise people, have said everything for me - your time now is so precious...but please don't leave us forever and please don't ask for all your lovely posts to go. Sending you much love and surreptitious nondenominational prayers XXX

winnie · 28/11/2006 09:09

martianbishop, I am so sorry you feel you have to go but totally understand why. Thinking of you all {{{{}}}}
