Support for those estranged from family members. Moving on together,

Fairydoll I don’t understand how you can say that I don’t interact with others – have you read any of the other threads I am currently posting on? GN is not just about estrangement threads. If you mean I don’t post details of private family matters on GN – you are absolutely right. That’s my choice and, in fact, I am currently posting on a thread discussing the dangers of giving too much personal information online.

Cholet ignoring u but I am Busy lady and didn't even notice the other thread until today, enough said.
Admittedly it was started while I was enjoying family wedding
Good c you post rosy glow

I was so thrilled having cuddle with my new great nephew his mum is so lovley to us still can't. Believe she made us cake and baby only week old.
He has lots dark hair like his sister was as newborn, she is v blonde now !??

No Madamecholet it was your unpleasant remarks on the other thread that started this.

28.07.16 posted on the other estrangement thread "This thread started off fair and well balanced, but it seems to have degenerated into people just slagging off their relatives. We have another thread for that".

I don't know why you find this thread and all who post here so offensive and quite frankly I don't care but seeing as you do, as I posted earlier, I just don't understand why you come on here.

In the same post to Rhinestone "your stepson's children are not your grand children and these children will already have 2 loving grandmothers and a grandfather in their lives". I feel extremely sorry for anyone who can not see it for the hurtful and unpleasant comment that it was.

30.07. You thanked someone for saying you are not "nasty but rather that my comments were nasty". I presume by that post that you recognise the nastiness of your comments but don't mind them being seen that way as long as no one refers to you as being nasty.

So what do you feel you have to defend yourself for? In what way have you been attacked? The comments that have been referred too here are yours, you've made them and they've merely been referred too. Perhaps you should think before you post. You seem to manage reasonably well on other threads, what it it about this one that makes you so unpleasant when you post on here and when you refer to it on other threads?

We have neither the need nor the desire to be 'left alone on this thread' we simply want to be treated with respect.

Oh Rosy you made me. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for seeing your GD on video and being unable to give her a hug, so I'm sending you some (((hugs)))x

Rhinestone, I can see the predicament you are in and understand your reasons for not being interested in seeing your stepdaughter, but I hope you do. For your husbands sake be as nice as you can, not mentioning previous misdemeanours. Be the better person than she is, the visit will soon be over and it will be a long time before your paths cross. You will have deserved a medAl, but we will all have a glass of ?with you.

Smilless you are a gem but to be honest I don't think cholet Nasty comments are worth your time commenting on she seems get buz out of it not sure why but ignoring doesn't give her a reaction however if she want to make totally out of order comment of course we will defend ourselves.

Must be vino not sure that made sense??

It was your unpleasant remarks on the other thread that started this.

Smileless - as I keep repeating, you are bringing disputes from another thread over here to justify unpleasant remarks made on this one. You know that the post I responded to was completely out of order and are trying to muddy the waters by bringing in the other thread, which was completely different in character. I think you will find it is against GN rules as the site guidelines say: “We will delete threads about ongoing threads, as it causes too much trouble on the forums”,

Madamecholet

I said that you DO make positive comments on other threads. Good grief - how can you misunderstand that??!

You don't post about personal family stuff but clearly you like to read about other peoples' estrangement issues - and then stick the boot in.

We are actually learning a lot about you from your posts but probably not what you intended.

Well, if you are learning that I stand my ground, even when I am being attacked by several people at once - that's exactly what I intended.

Smileless (Hi!)

Your post at 20.09 fourth para - And so say all of us!!!! Maybe MC she just doesn't 'get it.'
Yep, feeling sorry for someone who would say such a thing is about all we can do.

Been following your posts and keeping everything crossed for your move.

Good luck.

MC

Stop playing the victim - it is so childish.

Everyone, take your own advice and ignore the unsupportive comments and get on with your positive posts about your lives.

Oh, I certainly don't see myself as a victim here - just the opposite. I believe that standing up to a group of bullies is the heroic thing to do! I remember when you all ganged up on a previous poster and she became very upset and has not posted on GN since. Well, in my case,............don't hold your breath!

Dramatica hear hear?

V strange cholet can't seem to understand how very out of order her posts are so yes I would feel sorry for her. To have so little empathy must be a drawback in life.

Please please please ignore we have all had our say and thus thread is positive one!!!

Final note cholet please read smileless 20 09 post and try and take it in.????

Don't look confused, Fairydoll - you are the one who brought up the subject of Greenockgran and my "defending" her - as if that is an offence in itself. In fact, I just pointed out on the thread in question that she had been gone for three days and you were all still attacking her!

I did read the post from Smileless that you refer to Celebgran and, as I have already pointed out several times, that refers to a dispute on a totally different thread

I'm not looking confused MC. You got it wrong! Look again.....

Celeb. I really should take my own advice and ignore. I feel like sinking to my knees and saying 'I can't do this anymore!'

Had a stressful day looking for a new car. Haven't bought one in 8 years and everything's changed - so many choices. Must go to bed and prepare for another brain adding, salesman hassling day tomorrow.

Delete 'adding' insert 'addling'. Predictive text

Now people, you will notice that I've learn't to post with pictures (can't spell though).

I've just read your posts and it is so easy for us to fall out, Thank God we are not on a world stage.

Well done GononsuchI'll have to get Mr. S. to show me how to post with pictures, then all I'll have to do is find some pictures to post. I like yours.

Well there'sthis morning and we're off to see our new house later. Can't wait to be able to post on here that we've exchanged contracts; fingers crossed for next week.

Do you have any idea what car you want Fairydoll? I knew exactly what I wanted when I got mine 2 years ago. I'd told
Mr. S. I'd have a good look around but wanted to see the one of my choice first, and that was that. Hope you find exactly what you're looking for today.

Who knows, you might be on later telling us all about your new car and I might have some news about our sale.

Have a good day everyone.
