She had never in her life suffered such an indignity and it affected her deeply.
She died yesterday at 97, still not a member but fortunately, by then, past caring.

It must have been good once, surely.
Anyway, she couldn't have married you without your agreeing to it!

Not sure.2 divorces weren't exactly a bundle of fun and took their toll.
Also my brother not bothering to turn up to Mum's funeral took some beating.
We've probably all had hurts through life, but the important thing, IMO, is to learn from them then move on. Things you allow to fester till they get into your very bones are more dangerous to you in the long run.

Needless to say the forum soon folded, I just lost interest in it.
That was one of the very worst things that anyone has done to me and hurt me deeply.
Incidentally the man is a member here on this forum and I hope he reads this.
I've got to smile here - the forum folded because you banned everybody who didn't agree with you.
I remember that 'secret' room you created where you went to let rip all the hatred you felt towards another forum owner. I was amazed at all the venom you spouted towards this man. Because I objected to this I got banned too.
If you had treated your members and mods right you might have still had your successful forum and you know it!

Sorry about your Mum, Pummy. I lost mine just 18 month ago, so have a good idea how it feels.
