There's nothing wrong with my temperament stillawipp which is why I would never respond in the way you have.

I have never said that estranging from loving, conflict free relationships without any warning is as common as those who estrange from abusive parents stillawipp. I'm saying that it happens. You are the one who finds that inconceivable.

I'm sorry but your second paragraph doesn't make any sense; perhaps you could explain what you mean.

Ps a couple of posts above are not me, they are from someone impersonating me!

I have reported them

Oh well spotted stillawipp I must admit the content and style were familiar but not from you; from a previously banned poster.

Oh crikey, do I have to report each one of these individually?! Struggling to keep up!

I think you will stillawipp.

Thank you GNHQ.

All sorted I think. As you were…🤣

For some, just because they want to is the reason they cut their parents off

60 years ago my uncle went to Australia without telling anyone, and nobody heard from him for 6 years. He eventually got in touch again and used to send me Australian gifts which I thought were really cool, like a book about a baby kangaroo, and a boomerang which I used to terrorise people in the local park with. He did really well for himself and became a law professor in Australia and raised a family there. I never knew the details of why he went, but it sounds suspiciously like "just because he wanted to". Just saying.

Just at the thought of you terrorising people in your local park with your boomerang DogWhisperer.

Perhaps as you say your uncle went away just because he wanted to.
