This place has been a lifeline for me over the last few years. I've felt understood and supported, and hope that I've given that back in return, even if my opinions are strong.

However, when you realise that a place isn't what you thought and that people weren't what you thought, and that you have the wrong impression about what others think of you, it's clearly time to move on and hope that the support can be found elsewhere.

I really hope that everyone gets what they want for their children. I feel like I know some of your lives as well (or even better) than some of those of my friends'. I might have been wrong about that in some cases, but not all, and to those who've been great to me, thanks and good luck.

I didn't want to just go without saying all that, really. Especially the thanks. It really has kept me sane, knowing there were people who understood.

I don't know why you are going, givemesleep but thank you for the lovely thoughts. I know I'll miss you. Please consider name-changing and coming back at a later date...

givemesleep I feel like I have missed an episode of some series on Telly, and the character departure makes no sense...

Take a break if you need to, but please don't go.

IF I am right in thinking I know why you are going

And its about a misunderstanding today

then I know MN have been sent a big apology for you today and that you happened to get invoved in something longstanding and it was a pure mistake and that person feels like absolute shit as a result person has sent long apology and message to MN to send to you)

If not then sorry and I am talking out of my arse yet again but I know I have fucked up immensely today and thought someone was someone else, and can't apologise as don't know who the hell they are.

lingle · 28/04/2010 21:47

please don't go

you were so kind to me I got stuck in an awful thread.

improvingslowly · 28/04/2010 21:56

magso · 29/04/2010 13:44

Sorry to hear this. You have always talked straight and been helpful to me. Hope you come back.

amberlight · 29/04/2010 15:35

Don't go

TotalChaos · 29/04/2010 16:17

I have no idea what has happened, but am saddened to see someone feel forced to leave the SN board under such circumstances.

debs40 · 29/04/2010 17:16

Givemesleep ....don't go! What on earth has happened to make you feel this way?

niminypiminy · 29/04/2010 18:26

Just adding my voice to the chorus -- don't go!

GMS - don't go. Don't let one thing stop you from being part of MN. You have in the past offered me some fab advice and I know that you will be missed by a lot of people. Like Pipin says, have a break, but come back

meltedmarsbars · 30/04/2010 14:31

I too don't know what happened - I am not on here often enough, but please don't go - this place only works with lots of different people giving their own viewpoints, and each is as valid as any other.

I wasn't going to come back at all and am only back to explain. It's been nice this morning to read your kind messages, and those who've emailed me have mentioned what's been said on this thread and said to have a look.

This is what's happened: a member on here, who I have always liked, has apparently been discussing me on FB, claiming that I'm stalking her, am a 'weirdo' with 'serious mental health issues' (which MN have apparently confirmed - odd, seeing I don't )and referring to having warned other MN-ers about me before. There were then also lots of other people who seemed to be MN-ers and to have discussed me before making shitty comments.

The claim that there has been an apology or an explanation is, as far as I'm aware, untrue. I have heard nothing from anyone except people asking what's going on and if I'm OK (which I've appreciated). So I'm not being stroppy by refusing to accept an apology; there hasn't been one.

I don't know how the MN names link up to the FB names, so you can see how I don't feel there's a place on here for me, not if I'm always wondering who has been joining in with this frankly bizarre fantasy that I'm a crazy stalker.

I just wanted to explain and to clear up the confusion. You know, this is supposed to be a supportive forum, out of all the places on MN. It's crap to think that people who aren't 'in' with the other on FB can get slated behind their backs. It's really crap to think that you can be on here, sharing details of your life and trying to help others too, and yet someone is 'warning' others about you. And it's really really crap to add to someone's crap life by bringing those things about.

Hey givemesleep
I can see why you are pissed off. Not on the FB forum so no idea what has been said. From an outsiders point of view, I would say you are due an apology from someone

toccatanfudge · 01/05/2010 15:35

no no no no no!!! givemesleep - that is not what happened YOU were not discussed at all

I have been part of the previous discussions about this possible stalker and you were definitely NOT mentioned in any of it.

I don't "know" you givemesleep - but I do hope you don't leave and this all gets sorted out, as 2shoes says it's a big misunderstanding that's happened and no-one (that I know of!) think anything bad of you.
