guybrush This must be one of the most distressing and heartbreaking things to happen - and especially when it happens in another part of the world. You wouldn't know whether to dash over there - or wait a bit longer in case the person tried to contact you. I often...

Do you feel that? well, if you are a parent you can share something of how you do it in your own way.. dealing with everyday challenge as a parent. Like providing the need of the kids,disciplining them etc.

celestial052506 Well, I admire you for that. Yes, I'm sure being a single parent is harder than those who are both helping each other rearing the family, But I do admire people who were able to manage it alone. Thanks for replying.

What do you do when you know a troll has followed you and has made a new account (which is not allowed on myLot anyway)? Is it best to call their bluff and 'out' them - or merely report them and hope myLot will deal with them? I...

guybrush Hi Ellie! You're exactly right - these are sad people who should be putting their energies into enjoying life. I've reported this one, so I hope myLot is able to weed her out. I don't mind if she keeps her original account under her 'proper' name - that way,...

guybrush I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you, caramello. What a shame it also affected your family and caused you to close your account. So unfair. You're right - face to face, it's easier to handle, but sly underhand activities are far more unpleasant. I'm old...
