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.

@Rainbows41 think I speak for most if not all folks on the thread, we really appreciate your setting it up and we've got @bananabeau's back along with you.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 15/07/2025 11:28

Can I just add my voice to the chorus of support for @bananabeau . I read your threads but didn't comment as you were getting much more coherent advice than ever I could offer.

I hope today goes as well as can be but if I doubt, WWAD (what would Anne do).

@bananabeau

Haven't stopped thinking about you and wishing you well.

My late exh was a dab hand at engineering accidental stuff. By the time I separated from him I had managed to reduce my reaction to this behaviour to a little bit of an eye roll. Like my late exh, your H is a cretin.

Good luck for today.

LadyDanburysHat · 15/07/2025 11:51

Good luck today @bananabeau you really do have a lot of people wishing you well.

Cabinqueen · 15/07/2025 11:53

Stay strong today@bananabeau We're all here rooting for you!! 👍🏼

You're stronger than they realise; you've got all of us standing shoulder to shoulder beside you.

SillySeal · 15/07/2025 11:56

Good luck for today! You've got this and don't let her dampen your sparkle. She's simply not worth it, non of them are.

Picklepoppypolly · 15/07/2025 12:01

Sending my support too @bananabeau . I remember the original thread and felt really hurt for you. You deserve a peaceful and happy life. Lots of strength to you. Pickle x

Here supporting you Bananabeau xxx

Sunflowerintherain · 15/07/2025 12:55

Good luck and hold your head high, you can do this.

@Sunflowersinthesummer - love the name :)

AcrossthePond55 · 15/07/2025 13:26

Thanks @Rainbows41 for starting this thread.

@bananabeau You have got this. IMHO today may be the right day to perfect your MN headtilt and tinkly laugh. If that doesn't work, a Paddington stare is always good.

Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum

Don't let the bastards grind you down.

NeverTrustTheScales · 15/07/2025 13:51

I'm unaware of this poster or story but wanted to see if you knew about 'the other place?' It will stop this coming up in active which is where I have just seen it. You just ask MN to move it and it wont be on google either

Good luck with whatever you are going through Banana and it's so lovely to see all the vipers behind you 💐

SpryCat · 15/07/2025 15:32

You will be calm, cool and glorious @bananabeau. As for your H’s mind games and name calling, bide your time, get your ducks in a row and leave, you don’t need to let him know if you think it will get nasty. Just leave him a dear John letter, put in a forwarding address at Royal Mail and walk out, don’t feel obligated to stay because he has had a death in the family. He is punishing you and it’s escalating, same with his adult kids, involving their mum, they are hitting out at you.

outerspacepotato · 15/07/2025 15:37

Here's to handling a very difficult situation well.

PunishmentSnart · 15/07/2025 16:21

I wont mention the previous thread details here, but I dont understand why you haven't just left?

They obviously dont care for you? If it's your event - can you not control the ex being there?

I hope it goes as well as it can do anyway

Deadcog · 15/07/2025 21:20

I'm reading every post to ensure nothing 'outing' is mentioned. I am pleased everyone so far has considered banana's situation and respected this. It's a lovely thread aimed purely at providing support and strength to banana where needed.

But if you notice a post that is outing, what do you do? Just report and hope MNHQ agree to eventually delete a post? (Not being argumentative, just curious because I've not seen this before and I know MN's resistance to deletions).

AussieMum135 · 15/07/2025 23:31

I hope your event went well, or as well as could be hoped with nutters in attendance. Sometimes life gives us these challenges to open our eyes to our true strength and to remind us of what we can do. I'm sure you nailed it!

NewAgeNewMe · 16/07/2025 06:18

Another rooting for you on your earlier thread. ❤️

CaptainFuture · 16/07/2025 06:21

Morning @bananabeau and bb's cheerleaders! Hoping all went well at your event and with the channeling of Princess BAnneanaBeau!

Ilikegreen · 16/07/2025 07:14

Hope event went well, rooting for you!

CuddlesKovinsky · 16/07/2025 08:10

Whether it went well or whether people behaved disgracefully, I bet you're exhausted from it all today! 🤗

Whatever happened, it's behind you now, and you can take a little time to recover, then start considering the steps needed to make your life better

Like everyone else, right here thinking of you and cheering you on.

Sunflowersinthesummer · 16/07/2025 08:49

@bananabeau how did it go? Thinking of you and the day and hope it went ok. 👍
