I suspect that the vast majority of these 'new' posters are the same one or two who just keep coming back under different names.

In fairness, although I am against laying into the OP as it's obvious they are very distressed by this estrangement but as we don't hear the estranger's voice it's difficult to advise. We really do need to know what caused the issues to make a balanced judgement.

I’ve just popped in to wish OP luck and to say perhaps those very few on here who consider being rude to a brand new and clearly distressed poster might like to take a few days off!

Absolutely no need to be so rude and it was completely unwarranted!

I reported OkBoomer's nasty comments and she has now been banned.

Well done!

We only ever hear 'one side' but it only seems to be an issue for some here on the estrangement forum when the OP is the parent who has been, or fears they will be estranged.

It never seems to be an issue when the 'one side' we hear comes from the one doing the estranging. I wonder why .

fancythat as soon as a new thread appears on the estrangement forum the horrible posters appear who have never been on GN before. A friend thinks it people from momsnet. Estrangement threads are always targeted. Some political ones do get haters but no forum gets the haters like Estrangement.

I've no idea Gretsel as I've never had the need to twist logic. How about you? I wonder if you find doing so as tiresome as I find posts like yours.

That makes sense.
More than, there are oodles of people lining up to come on here.

It would mean though, they manage to get around the GN ban system somehow I suppose.

You disapprove of her lifestyle, blame the husband and, I suspect, don’t keep these opinions to yourself! No wonder she stays away.

Is there ANY truth in the above?

Exalted Womat Why do you feel the need to be so rude and mean it says a lot about you

All they need to do is rejoin with a different name *fancythat, time perhaps better spent trying to resolve their own anger and bitterness.

I thought only two name changes were allowed on this site.

Banned posters can and do come back using a different name. What you're referring too fancythat are name changes that GNHQ knows about.

Oh.

I didnt know the first sentence could be achieved.

Unfortunately it can.

A few of us know a member ( no longer on this site) who had 7 usernames over the years.

no longer on this site but I suspect has been on very recently petra.

Maybe you should think about cutting them out of your will because I can see that any inheritance they receive may be used to expand the cannabis-growing business. It may sound a bit drastic but it's common practice in the estranged parent world. You could consider leaving any money in trust for the grandchildren.

P.S. If you decide to do this, there's no need to tell them you've done it or to discuss it with them because it would probably create further conflict.

I would not be leaving anything to help a lazy slob.

Calling someone a lazy slob and disgusting is very extreme.
If your daughter suspects you feel this way about him it's understandable she wants to keep away.

I think money is the last the someone worried about when they think their daughter is being controlled. Money shouldn’t be a weapon against family nor should it be used to control family. People who want and/or have healthy, loving relationships with family should know this.
