apart from emailing MNHQ?

FBG, I emailed this morning (admittedly had to apologize as I felt I was on a troll hunt die to emailing about three of the feckers), and they said they were watching it.

am guessing for now tho, that as she hasn;t come back, they are hoping that it dies a death (or maybe they are investingating or summit that they do in their tower).

psychomum5 · 08/06/2009 20:09

helloooooo jes, the new look is very becoming

Insanitybecomesme · 08/06/2009 20:12

helloooo yourself seems you have been in the wars again from all the reading I have just been doing, hows the leg?

Dearthworm · 08/06/2009 20:12

If it is the thread I think you mean, I've been reading and doubting. I thought I was the only doubter and I have been feeling a complete cow for doubting. Absolutely right NOT to say anything on the thread, though.

psychomum5 · 08/06/2009 20:15

tis very sore ((pics on profile if you not too squeamish tho))

am now on bed-rest for a day or so..........am not healing as quickly as I would like =, feeling poorly tonight, and come on, so ness going on!!!

Insanitybecomesme · 08/06/2009 20:21

OUCH!! but it will look better given time, hope that is bed rest with a glass of wine and some dairy free choc

junglist1 · 08/06/2009 20:22

It's not nice to do this when people are genuinely in it, especially when everyone is worried about one of the people who is really in it but hasn't been posting?? Is this the thread?

FabulousBakerGirl · 08/06/2009 20:23

Just realised I have probably not had a reply as I was a bit critical of MNHQ too.

OP posts:
psychomum5 · 08/06/2009 20:28

nope, no wine, (DH has decided it might inhibite the healing, backed up by flame and MoM and trillian on another thread saying it might not help the bleeding issue), but yes, have choc thanks to DH feeling sorry for me

psychomum5 · 08/06/2009 20:28

FBG, what did you say???

junglist1 · 08/06/2009 20:30

Just read this whole thing, and got the answer I wanted. Something doesn't ring true at all, glad others think so

FabulousBakerGirl · 08/06/2009 20:30

Something about how all they ever say is it is being monitored.

OP posts:
TotalChaos · 08/06/2009 20:30

have to say the smiley use seems somewhat familiar....

psychomum5 · 08/06/2009 20:31
Insanitybecomesme · 08/06/2009 20:36

Well enjoy the chocolate at least, and nothing wrong to Dh feeling sorry for you, I find it can be very productive at timesI say whilst sipping nice wine

onepieceofcremeegg · 08/06/2009 20:41

psycho I generally trust your judgment when you have your suspicions, and I also agree with you on this occasion.

I also had suspicions, but as others have said the advice may be useful for other in a genuine dv situation.

What struck me was the "sudden happy ending" iykwim.

If I am wrong them I am sorry.

GossipMonger · 08/06/2009 20:44

and I emailed someone to say similar......

junglist1 · 08/06/2009 20:45

Same here onepiece, what a sudden turn around, that would be very unusual in a real situation. In order to please and get lots of you're great etc. Now I'm angry actually, I really am dealing with this problem and don't appreciate it one bit

psychomum5 · 08/06/2009 20:47

yes, it all seemed so 'easy' to get to that sudden ending

and the fact that she was able to post online, yet phone access was not easy.....

but mainly, it was the posting style, the way she 'spoke', the one line posts, the odd sad faces........all took me straight back to last year, and made a sick feeling in my stomach.

of course, it could be true, but the coincidence of all the similarities adding up to the one poster......

junglist1 · 08/06/2009 20:47

Mainly because I thought look at her, what a good mum, and that's what everyone was saying, and it made me feel guilty for my 2. I want to hear those things on Mumsnet!

onepieceofcremeegg · 08/06/2009 20:47

I understand your anger a tiny bit junglist. I have had personal experience of dv but nowhwere near the extent stated by the op. I had to distance myself as it was bringing back painful memories and I found it frightening in parts. Also I work in mental health so see the reality for women who have been through similar in rl.

Hope you get the support you need.

GossipMonger · 08/06/2009 20:49

pyscho - are you still on this thread?

junglist1 · 08/06/2009 20:51

I've been in contact with Womensaid, and it took me a long time. Haven't left yet though, am making plans, thanks for asking

hullygully · 08/06/2009 20:52

Oooh. I believed it (altho agree was an oddly sudden end and wondered how she did the shopping), but then missed the one from before. How very mad, wha's in it for the OP? Fake sympathy?

onepieceofcremeegg · 08/06/2009 20:53

junglist, wishing you strength to make the right decisions.
