Without having met her, but having spoken to her sister, whom I trust to be her sister, I know that her H was terribly abusive. I know that she struggled with keeping J, as she posted here, and even before she was born. I know that J is in her sister's care full time.
She told me that her ex called her incessantly and tried to get back into their old house once after their divorce was final, and he was arrested. She said she has a restraining order against him, but now that she's moved and has a new job, he and his family have no way of getting in touch her or finding her.
Hence the PO Box address her SS gift was never sent from.
I agree with emiliemadison (aka my twin lol). There should come a time when someone is in so deep that they need to step away and not post everything on an online message board. I believe that she suffers from mental illness, but continuously posting very intimate details of your life (true or otherwise) is extremely risky.

This is what I am sure is true.
Well isn't this exactly what jlm said? I was actually thinking everything was a lie. As in, the poster was a person who just made the whole thing (abuse, the baby, the sister who is keeping the baby) up.

I reached out to her sister through fb because of my concern. When I told her what jlm had told me, she called me and we spoke. Since then, she's just communicated with me to update me, or ask if I have talked to her.
I probably seem like a total lurker, but I usually post when everyone on here is asleep. Anyway, I felt terrible for JLM when she posted about having J stay with her sister. Everything JLM posts makes me think she is unstable. I am also concerned about the amount of posts she has concerning drinking, it seems to be more than most people here. Drinking and "being ill" cannot be a safe combination.

I see where you guys are coming from, and I can't offer more than I have without saying more than I feel is right. The things I related are things I feel confident about, and I am not gullible.
I guess if people want to know about jlm, ask her sister, because she's telling. I would not tell internet strangers anything, personally. Weird fam.
This is what I find weird. Not that I'm doubting what DC is saying, I'm just finding it incredibly strange that the sister would divulge information about her own sister to an 'Internet stranger'. But then again maybe 'the crazy' runs in the family.

Think about it this way- if you know your sister is mentally ill/unstable and then you receive a concerned message from a complete stranger on FB wouldn't you be tempted to contact that stranger to make sure that your sister isn't doing some crazy and/or dangerous shit that could be harmful?
