  • I understand the sceptisism of people as I am struggling myself to believe some of the things I am witnessing......I find this situaton difficult as I have no immediate family still alive and therefore apart from work colleagues (who I don't like sharing personal things with) I thought this was an ideal onnonymous forum which I could gain some well needed advice.

    how do you know its a joke.... do you know this person this is meant to be a place of no judgement... i find you very rude if you dont like this post then dont read or post on ... simply move on to the next and let someone else answer

    I am allowed to give my opinion, just as you are.

    This poster is a wind up merchant, unless you think that eating pickle is a form of abuse?
    like eating a full jar of branston pickle with a spoon.....something I am not used to wittnessing
    Like tonight when I arrived home she was in the bath with my dog !!!!!....
    Gone ... or have I?

    It must be terribly difficult to believe that someone could eat Branston pickle. :rolleyes:

    yes you are allowed like everyone else but do you have to be so rude ... until you know it is a fake or a joke the least you can do is give them the benefit of the doubt ... i hope you dont find yourself at the end of a sharp tongue if your just looking for advice

    so i could eat a full jar of pickle eggs no problems and what ... so you dont think a pillow about to go over your face abuse

  • I have read this and feel so sorry for the OP....

    What a sitaution. You need to sit down and work a plan of action, you must not let her know what you are doing as you dont know what she will do.

    It sounds to me like she has some mental health issues.

    I appreciate it will be difficult because of your mortgage but please remember your and your dogs life is much more important than money.

    Ignore the rude comments from others on her..many of us just want to help.

    Very Best Wishes

    How do you feel that you should establish that it is a fake? The only way to do that is to make your own judgment. My judgment is that the OP is a wind up. I have no issue with you disagreeing with that.

    But would you mention it if you were talking about abuse? No, you wouldn't.

    I'm off to the pub now, I look forward to viewing this thread tomorrow, and I will be laughing when the OP trips up and shows their true colours.
