Count me in on her offering a sample that never came. I never said anything because, free.
Ditto.
I am only on pg 13 so I am still digesting this thread and have a lot more to read. but I too was offered free items when I was going through all this shit with my STBX and Jane. So around Jan sometime. They never came.
I am so sorry UWR that is devastating. I will say my thought is that she either lost or destroyed the clothes by accident and instead of being an adult and doing the right thing she panicked and went radio silent. While I completely understand that the clothes are the biggest issue, I can't just blow off the $80 that was sent for the service. UWR has been nothing but kind to her and promoted that go fund me and squirrely got a good amount of money from people on this board and to take $80 from one of the nicest people on this board, a person who has done nothing but advocate for you, help you out, be understanding is a huge douchebag move. I know UWR wants the clothing back and I get that 100% BUT if nothing else... Squirrely should explain where the clothes are AND send that money back.
that money won't replace sentimental items, I get that. But how could she keep that money knowing she didn't do the work? I get depression and mental health issues. I have struggled with them for many years so I am sympathetic to her for that. But my sympathy is for UWR who lost those precious items. </3

I kept a few of dd's preemie outfits for sentimental reasons. I would be crushed if something happened to them. But I'm more upset for you about the lack of communication. Things like this would end so much better if people could just be honest.
Is anyone at all concerned that she has so many names and addresses?
/nervous laugh
I'll be honest- that's why I've kept my mouth shut through a lot.
I liked her and empathized with her. But she offered me free stuff twice & I was like no thanks. I just felt suspect about someone I wasn't all that close to offering me freebies over the interwebs.
Wow I have finally finished the thread, and this is just awful for you UWR. I hope she at least will finally finish this for you before your kids enter college. Even if she hadn't started it until now she still has lots of time. This is very sad, as I know how heartbroken I would be. Do the right thing squirrely. These ladies have done so much for you now it's time you DO the right thing.

I have a lot of liking / responding to do. You guys were busy (and so, so awesome.)
I can't check or respond from work anymore, but this thread was on my mind all day.
I do want to say that squirrelymom reached out to me via PM six hours ago by the time stamp.
I don't know how much information she would want shared, but her recent lack of communication would be completely explained if what she wrote is true (and I actually hope it is NOT true because, if true, it would really suck.) I have not responded yet, because I want to think about the best way to do so.
According to her, her husband shipped the clothes and they should be on their way, but she will follow up with him.
So I'm cautiously optimistic. (But her message didn't help with alleviating the pity part of what I'm feeling. Like I said, I would much rather this be more manipulation than the truth.)
Wow. UWR, you're such a sweetie, I'm sorry you went through all of this. I really hope you get the clothes back like she said.
Squirrly I'm sorry if you're going through (another) hard time. Perhaps it's best to step away from all business related activity until you get it all figured out. Or, you know, permanently.
UWR she has evaded you for almost 2 years. An explanation for the recent past is meaningless. This calls for incendiary rage not cautious optimism.
Plus, wasn't she posting like yesterday or the day before? What a coincidence that when you brought it to the board, something came up. Totally her MO.

NOT TO MENTION THE TWO YEAR WAIT FOR LITERALLY NOTHING.
'kay.
Was the mass deletion explained? Because I'm with @this. Because that HAD to have taken a shitton of time to complete. PLENTY of time to take all your baby clothes to the Post Office.
Bullshit. Sorry. Even if she is currently in the hospital with both of her legs in traction and a rabid monkey chewing her face, that does not explain TWO YEARS.
I'm actually mad that she has apparently sent UWR another goddamn sob story to make her feel guilty. Fuck that.
But I do hope the clothes really are on your way back.
