Honestly, I don’t believe any of her story, at all. 3 different boards now that we know of (this one, the one posted by another user, and the one she says she was referring to in the 2nd board). Always posting about seeking advice, then roundly turning on those who are giving the advice. Vacillating back and forth to get maximum attention. Decrying her threads getting bumped, then bumping them. Apologizing and acknowledging she was wrong, then flipping to an opposite side. Saying she is done, and then coming back. Textbook attention seeking behavior.

I just don’t believe any of it. It is either troll, or a deeply disturbed person. If it is the former, meh. If it is the latter, I hope she gets help. I would not be surprised if her whole profile is faked with fake pictures.

Why would you give someone else this power over you? To be goaded back into posting?? No one can do that to you without your consent.

You’ve gotten good advice here, on the whole. Get the help you now say you are committed to getting, and get off the 'net for a while.

That’s my advice, and worth what you paid for it.

That’s not okay, **Charlie**. If you’ve got a beef with what someone has said on this board, bring it up on this board. If you’ve got a beef with what someone has said on another board, bring it up on the other board. Don’t go following posters around the internet looking for stuff to dig up and bring back here.

No warning issued, but do not do this again.

Overall, I’m not a fan of closing threads that are still active, but this is getting personal in a way that I’m not entirely comfortable with. I’m leaving this closed for now, in the hopes that some of you cool off about it.
