Phew. Finally caught up. Been a hell of a couple of days both IRL and of course on here! Some thoughts:
1. I was really disturbed by the account of lovely-sounding not-Harold. It came quick on the heels of the stuff my mum had told me, including an alarmingly similar experience of someone in Mum’s wider circle: another truly lovely bloke, left pretty shellshocked by his experience with JM. Can’t say more as don’t want her

the poor fella and harassing him for daring to tell someone about what she did to him. This was quite a few years ago, so her MO hasn’t changed. I feel awful for not-Harold, and hope he’s taken some time for himself and hopefully he’s even met a lovely, well-adjusted, kind and thoughtful woman who will be nice to him instead of bringing chaos and misery. I hope someone is passing him all our well-wishes. Poor chap, he sounds very nice and deserves a lot better than a malignant narcissist like JM.
And poor SB too. I’ve got no intention of dating for the foreseeable, but if I ever do, I wouldn’t be introducing my offspring to anyone until the 12-month relationship point, unless it was unavoidable to do so earlier. Yep, that’ll make dating very hard, but my priority is the kids’ wellbeing. I won’t be messing them around, especially during the years when they’re learning how to form attachments with others. I am pretty judgmental* of people who rush in with introducing kids to new partner, and if I don’t date anyone for another 15-20 years, that’ll be ok with me. The kids’ emotional development and welfare comes first for me. It’s a good job SB has got his nice stable dad.
Frauen who have speculated - I totally agree that female partners are more likely to be socialised to put their own needs aside in a relationship, compared to male partners. That makes them easier targets for narcs generally, I think. It’s quite upsetting to think about all the dreadfulness LJC must have gone through before she
LEFT escaped. I think she seems lovely, and I can easily imagine her putting her own needs last to cater to Jack’s whims. I recall there’s a Frau who knows a FOF of hers, and all I can say is I really hope LJC is as fulfilled and happy as she deserves to be. Narcs leave scars.
Jack and the Rear Foo Foo onanist should just run off together into the sunset and be done with it IMO, keep them away from all the nice normal people.
2. That BBC piece was an embarrassing car crash, and the media training she had was a waste of time and money because she’s
awful on TV. Does she never watch herself back and think how to improve for next time? It’s just always a cringey mess. I’m proud of you Frauen who have complained to the Beeb. I have to spend most of tomorrow focusing on some work stuff -if I get it wrapped up at a reasonable time, I too will write a complaint. It’s so irresponsible of Aunty to platform someone who even admits she doesn’t really know much; never mind an insult to all the professionals who could have given good-quality advice.
3. JACK, YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO LAY OFF THE LIP FILLER, GO AND GET HYALURONIDASE INJECTIONS TO DISSOLVE IT PLEASE. IT HAS LOOKED BAD FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW IT IS PLAIN UGLY. Also, as you don’t seem to be aware, foreheads and muscles around the eyes are supposed to be able to move, so you can form normal facial expressions. You’ve overdone it to the point you’re now actively an advertisement against going to Vie Aesthetics.
4. All this recent chaosing has drawn many people’s attention away from the fact she‘s
still hiding her Patreon income, as well as all the other lolly she’s got coming in via PayPal, etc. Well played, chaos Jack. But we haven’t forgotten. We never forget. Has anyone got an up-to-date estimate of the Patreon income range? I seem to remember a clever Frau had done some calculations based on a few different scenarios.
5. I can’t even be bothered to comment on her shite cookery other than to note it’s still shite.
*edited to add: I accept there is the occasional Disney fairytale where everything works out, but there are far more Brothers Grimm fairytales where terrible things happen instead.
