    If the OP is genuine, then trying to figure out who she is has probably increased her worry and made her panic. I know you haven't used any names but chances are some plonker will read the description and post the guys name for all to see.

    I realise posting on here wasn't the best place she could turn to but she has and if she is for real, then the guessing game is likely making things worse for her. Not trying to be horrible, it's just a thought :)

    It's also horrible to play and take advantage of people's good nature, if people have a real problem then the resolve is not necessarily from some strangers on the internet.

    I have no idea either but only because I don't concern myself with the 'stars' lives, just hope if the OP is genuine she sorts herself soon :j

    Me neither, never have bought those mags that solely concentrate on what so called celebs are up to, not that there is anything wrong with doing that its just not for me. If its the person I was thinking of, for days on end it was one of the top stories on the bbc news, which I do watch avidly :)

    Well, that's 5 minutes wasted of my life, reading this lot of pi5h.

    I'm furious that this troll is using MSE folks good nature, and instinct to help- in order to gain attention for themselves. What do they get out of it?

    DV is not something to be used for this purpose. Just shocking.:mad:

  • you just have to read the first post of this thread to see it's a humungous wind up.
    Still it got us all posting! Just what trolls aim for.
    Agree with the previous poster though, DV is NOT something to be joked about, and the more idiots who post up wind up stories for kicks, the less people are likely to believe and help real victims.

  • Can see your point guys. However alot of good advice about what to do next has been given by people genuinely concerned. There may just be someone out there in a similar situation who doesn't feel able to ask for advice, who could pick up the help they need. No advice given is ever truly wasted.

    If it is the person I was thinking of, her parents are extremely close to her and think very little of him. I believe he was banned from their house at one point. If she were not able to phone or ever have time to herself with the child they would be on to it immediately. Maybe I have it completely wrong, I hope so as I really like the person that first came to mind.

    Who would really come on to MSE if they were afraid for their safety and worth a fortune. Its not the first site I would google for advice in the OPs situation ;)

    I agree. I really like her too and now come to think it of it seems ridiculous it could be her because like you said her parents are close to her.

    So now I just think its a troll.

    If you are all thinking who I think you are (!!) he was abroad when she typed this so perfect time to get out.

    I am really disapointed if this is a troll I spent alot of time posting messages and a private message to her and feel a bit of a fool!

    If not a troll and reading this by any chance don't be scared off by the troll accusations and/or the guessing who you are!! If you have spent some time on these boards you will understand why people might think that.

    Don't feel a fool LB. You're a nice person who helped where you thought it was needed! However-on the troll accusation..I fully believe it is. Mainly because if they didn't want 'publicity' they wouldn't have given as many details. They wouldn't have mentioned 'sportsman', nor 'money', they would have just put the facts as they were.

    And to be honest-if it's who they want us to think it is-then there is no way she would ask advice here-she would hire Max Clifford and make a HUGE pile of cash out of it.

    Sorry, but this is a big pile of b*llox.

    But, I'll say it again, what a load of nice people you all are trying to help. I hope someone gets something from what you've all said :o
