    You obviously believe that the other ID is the poster's real, or only other, ID.

    I don't.

    It is the only other username I use. I was a regular poster under another name a few years back, but couldn't remember my password and changed e-mail addresses so thought it easier to start a new ID. But until this AE I haven't been anybody else.

    i think you should turn up at there door with a fifteen year old niece and say this is your daughter and i want some child maintanence.
    obvious you got blamed for everything and he got away with it, actually thinking about it turn up with a 2 year old niece and make out you"ve been seeing each other again :D :T and want c/m or your going to csa :D

    yeah.. that's a great idea...

    bit strange about the OP replying to herself, too, under a different name!
  • Nicki - are there not 12 months in the year on the planet you live on?

    I was living with my ex from September 1995 until June 1997 when I bought my first house. I moved out in the June, and met the friend from the OP in the September when we started a part time HNC course together.

    In May 1998 I answered the door to my ex and his new son.

    The incident in the OP happened in the August of that year.

    Is that detailed enough for you?!

    I posted under my other name in order that I be subscribed in my normal posting name, and thought that if I posted the 2nd story under my AE nobody would have believed that both things could happen to one person and they happened so close to each other.

    I see now that that wasn't so smart.

    I cross posted with this post, then when I read it deleted my post immediately so it was up for 30 seconds max, and you STILL got snippy about it! Even though you yourself said that the two things happening so close together strains credibility.

    Fair enough.

    Not that it really matters, but I used an AE because I wasn't particularly proud of my part in the story. I posted under my other name in order that I be subscribed in my normal posting name, and thought that if I posted the 2nd story under my AE nobody would have believed that both things could happen to one person and they happened so close to each other.

    You could have subscribed to the thread under your normal posting name without posting in support of yourself.

    Or, if you weren't aware that you could have done that, why not just post something along the lines of 'leave well alone' which was the way the advice on the thread was going instead of supporting yourself (in your AE) by saying the OP (i.e. you) was being used as a scapegoat.

    You're right - it wasn't so smart.
