I'm so sorry to see your post has been removed. You will be missed.
I refreshed my app daily in the hopes of seeing positive updates from you, and I'm sad you felt you needed to remove your post altogether.
I wish you well in your future and I sincerely hope you can fulfill your dreams.

You deserve to be happy.
💗

@bananabeau the library is a quiet place to go and spend some time outside of the house that doesn’t cost anything. You can also use their computers if you wanted to look at anything you wouldn’t want showing on your history at home, and you could take a book home with you on something nice for you to look at but that wouldn’t raise any suspicions with your H. Art books are generally expensive to buy, nice to look at and read, and would make for a good cover story. Sorry if it’s a bit late and your day to yourself is over, but for next time?

I’ve managed to get out things escalated. I need help for the next couple of days. If anyone is able to message me privately. I really don’t know wot to do

Sussexswain · 25/08/2025 17:06

Are you able to say where you are in the country if we might be able to suggest local support?

@KimMumsnet please can you PM

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/08/2025 17:07

Glad you're out.
Do you have access to any money for a hotel for a few days?
Women's aid may be able to help.
I'm sure others who have been through this will be along shortly.
What area are you in Banana?

Ticktockwatchclock · 25/08/2025 17:07

Have PM’d you 🌸

Daftapath · 25/08/2025 17:08

If you have not done so bananabeau, please call the police

MyOtherProfile · 25/08/2025 17:23

Is there anything we can do to help? I have no idea what.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/08/2025 17:35

@bananabeau You've mentioned previously your H takes your money but you've opened a new account.
Any family or friends who could help? Put you up for a few days or lend you money? It's easier for several people to loan £20 than one person to give you more. Unfortunately it's before payday for many & the end of school holidays so many are scraping by this week.
Would your employer be willing to give you an advance before payday as it's exceptional circumstances?

goodThingGonewrong · 25/08/2025 18:05

@bananabeau my goodness, I am glad you got out. I hope you are ok. I’m away atm but message me your location, I’ll see what I can do if you need help x

goodThingGonewrong · 25/08/2025 18:09

Also, do not go back.
let us know what help you need. Then we can all help.

Billybagpuss · 25/08/2025 18:30

Have pmd you, but it might be worth putting what help you need now on here with more specifics then the collective of mn are here at you’re googling assistance, then ask op to delete the thread tomorrow and start your own entitled ‘divorcing H post shingles. Honestly mn vipers are at their best with helping you with the to do list for this and as there is nothing juicy the gutter press will leave well alone.

right now, do you have somewhere to stay tonight and do you have the means to get food?

Gymnopediegivesmethewillies · 25/08/2025 18:37

Where are you now @bananabeau ? I’m in Shropshire if it helps?

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 25/08/2025 18:39

I am hoping BB has messaged several of us on this thread. I can only offer a bed, can't help financially as like some not paid til Fri.

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 25/08/2025 18:41

oh and details / phone numbers might help ?
I suggested National Domestic Helpline which Google says is open until 10pm, tho I do realise it's a BH in England.

WearyAuldWumman · 25/08/2025 18:44

Can you give us a rough location, B?

CCmumsnet · 25/08/2025 18:45

Hello everyone
We've had a number of reports from people concerned about this thread so, as we usually do in these circs, we're putting our heads round the door with some important reminders.
Right now we can't see any evidence to indicate that the MNer isn't above board – if we did, we'd remove the thread straight away. But the truth is that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.
So we always ask users to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are – and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong. We strongly advise against parting with any cash or giving away your personal details, and if you receive a PM which makes you uneasy - report it to us and we’ll take a look.
Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope the MNer can get it all sorted soon.

ThePoshUns · 25/08/2025 18:49

BB can you go to your nearest police station? Walk in and tell them everything that’s been going on. It’s great you have all this support online but you really need help in person and from professional people.

BananaBo · 25/08/2025 19:12

Hi banana here, my account was temporarily suspended by MN. I just want to say thanks to everyone who reached out and I’m sorry if I made anyone uncomfortable by asking for help

WearyAuldWumman · 25/08/2025 19:17

Have you changed your username?

BananaBo · 25/08/2025 19:19

Yeah to apologise to anyone I offended. I’m in a terrible place. I just don’t know wot to do. I’m sorry if I’ve upset anyone

WearyAuldWumman · 25/08/2025 19:20

You've not offended anyone. Your account is still suspended then?

BananaBo · 25/08/2025 19:20

Yes just temporarily. I haven’t replied to the email. I just wanted to come say sorry and not disappear

Sussexswain · 25/08/2025 19:22

No one was offended. I think your post was reported so mn could offer support - not because anyone as offended

BananaBo · 25/08/2025 19:23

Thank you

Stilllifes · 25/08/2025 19:24

If you could name your nearest large urban centre or city it would really help posters who would love to PM you.
Sending you strength.
Let people help you, or direct you.
