I have to say whether or not you believe her story is a invalid point. Who cares if you believe her or not. If you believe it then continue to wish her well as I do. If you don't, then don't read it.

No one is being duped into anything. She didn't ask for anything at all, not even get well cards!!! I know people make up stories on occasion and on some sites but even if they do, just go on about your day and don't worry about it and it won't affect you at all.

You, our members, need to know, though, that mods don't sit around looking at your IP address, or even look at personal details in other places on here - we're busy people just like you are. The information is there if needed. We use it mostly to fight the spammers and obscene posters - to keep the board clean. It is a VERY rare instance we ever feel we have to go in and look at that info and do detective work. Most of our members are forthcoming.
Many, sadly, indeed have had catastrophic things happen in their lives, such as a recent poster here, which is why we work so hard to keep things real. When our members say they are praying for someone, and put emotional energy into it, I'd like to believe that is true. We have a Fun and Games section for those who would like to play. There have been some strong friendships made on this board, and the majority of our members are true members.

Can dark get darker?

WOW! I have had some pretty terrible things happen in my life too. I wasn't a member here when it was all happening, which might be a good thing because I could have potentially have had people doubting that my girls had Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome, that my cervix was dangerously short, that Lily had a one-vessled umbilical cord, that it looked like she had a very serious heart defect, that the girls might both have Down's Syndrome, and that the doctor's goal was to get one baby out alive. And, that's all the stuff that happened BEFORE they were born!! The stuff that happened afterward gets even WORSE!

Read the book of Job, and tell me that bad things (and sometimes lots of them) don't happen to good people.

Obviously you've had some complaints, and I understand you wanted to check it out. Being pregnant with twins, having a small baby, and 2 older dd's (one of whom has a lot of intestinal issues), might make a person a little busy! Whether or not it's true (and for the record, I have no reason to doubt), I agree that she never asked for a thing, except prayers, which I have freely given.

I also agree that things could have been handled much better than this. If you truly doubt the sincerity of a poster, then you do have the option to ignore their posts. That is what it's there for.

I wasn't going to reply to this post but just had to stick my nose in.

On an internet message board you just have to have trust in people. For all you know I could be a 47 year old man living in my parent's basement, but, because I post that I'm married and have 2 daughters and my name is Amy, you all believe that.

Those who choose to believe Me&my2girls have every right to and still pray for her and her family. Those who choose not to believe her, that's fine too but can we can feel sorry for her either way? Obviously, if someone has to make up such stories for sympathy or attention than they have problems just the same. IF it's not true, it wasn't nice of her, but making her feel ashamed and embarrassed isn't very nice either.

As a moderator and the board administrator assistant, I am going to lock this thread now. The original poster's point was made, whether others felt it valid or not. SEVERAL of the mods had gotten pm's about this issue, so it was really only a matter of time until someone questioned it "outloud". In my opinion.....and yes, in many of the other mods opinions... the person who did the questioning outloud had every right to do so and to do without revealing who she was. The wording of the post seemed to do it as gently as possible, too. While some of you made valid points on not taking others at their word, a lot of us do do that. We consider this board to be a place of friends...honest friends...and our hearts hurt over the sad issues that are posted. We cry, we pray, and we spread the word. To think that anyone would take advantage of that just makes my stomach turn. I hope that this was NOT the case here, but at this point, Me&My2Girls can take it from here if she feels the need. The thread itself serves no real purpose anymore. Thanks!!
