t, since you are still in the support group on FB, you need to let those women know who this person really is.
I'm going to need time to read this thread! Dammit I was busy today at work. What FB group are you talking about? I'm hardly on these days and don't pay attention to my groups.
As the dung beetle on the great big pile of shit, I was looking at her FB business page. Some woman commented that she had to wean her 2 year old due to an upcoming surgery and asked for weaning advice. Celiacmom replied "I'm sorry, we are a site that encourages breastfeeding so I don't have weaning advice." I'm clearly already done with her, so this rubbed me the wrong way. I mean, surely weaning is part of BFing, no? She could just have said she didn't have any advice, she didn't have to phrase it in a way that basically shamed the other mum.
But obviously this pales in comparison to her other shenanigans.
I read this too. I thought she came off totally bitchy. The woman has to wean because she has surgery not because she wants to use devil made formula- gasp! Although, maybe celiac just doesn't know anything about weaning and that's why she is still nursing

Lol. "Local mum still nursing college graduate - says she just didn't know how to wean."
Ahhh holy shit @starry TamiTaylor now I know what you mean. I couldn't get into FB link from my phone. I still have so much reading to do. I'll take a look when I'm back from the grocery store! Gahhhhhh
She unfriended me and I barely post here. We met for lunch with our kids back in March or April.
Tell us more...
It was pretty normal. I am in shock today. We talked about businesses and kids and her story was the same as on here. She bought several cases of Thin Mints from my daughter in Girl Scouts for her cookies. Lawson was sweet and got along well with my kids. I have a pic of our kids together somewhere.
Okay ... Then I give it exactly one week before some idiot rolls in with, "I miss celiacmom . She was so nice. I miss her! What? She did what? No way! She's never do that, I know her? But, cookies? Why won't she come back, I miss her?"
And all that other nonsense.
yessss, there will always be some idiots who never learn don't care.
I expect one of y'all to tag us over on CE&P when this happens. Consider it a Thank You for eclaires hard work today

Well, this ruined my TV date with dh tonight. I have no idea about the knot back story, but this all sounds like a whole lot of shady crap. Pretty stunned.

This whole thing is crazy but honestly, red flags were flying all over the shop with CM.
Also- why all the fake professions- kinder teacher, lawyer?
I really hope she gets help as this whole thing is beyond "off". The amount of time and effort she expended in these personas and concocting the whole awful dead child story. It is sick.
I'm also finding her new personality of being overly generous etc at odds with her bitchy responses on her business page and the llr/ Usborne things. Seems she is just not a very nice person.
I'm not sure what people want her to explain. She made up a story about her child dying. That shit is so damaging to the grief community. A lot of people end up not reaching out for help because of people like her. They're too afraid of people thinking they're making it all up since this is one of the cons that seriously sick people play. Much like MoMs are always suspicious about someone who comes to their boards and starts posting about their triplets or quads super high risk pregnancy.
What really gets me is that she didn't just do it on the nest. She was peddling her story out to the grief community itself. Going to blogs and posting her own links. That's a high level of dysfunction right there, and you don't suddenly become a good person after doing that.
I'm just frustrated that people knew who she was and nothing was ever done about it until today. I'm not blaming y4m or ellie, but if another mod was directly told and she did shit... I'm judging her hard core right now.
This is what makes me so mad. One of the things I love about this place and the reason I can't quit is that we truly are a community. We come together when people need help, not only in monetary form. The fact that she exploited that is so disgusting. And that next time something tragic happens there will be many people wondering if it's true and if they should help out. We shouldn't have to thing about that, we should be able to know that we're supporting our friends and people we care about instead of worrying if someone is catfishing us.
Absolutely. The outpouring of emotional support I've received this week after my brother's death is something I will be forever grateful for. I hate to think that because of people like her, others might not receive the support they might desperately need.

When people say, "there are red flags everywhere," after all the shit goes down, I'm all like whut? I guess hindsight is 20/20.
I thought her level of AP was unhealthy and I questioned the $ she was bringing in from the cookies. I never imaged she had made up fictitious dead children.
Between this and the CEP thread, I've just lost two hours reading about this. Holy crap, this is so fucked up. She doesn't sound mentally ill to me, as much as just a skilled con artist.
Is now an ok moment to share that every time she posted a picture of her nursing her 5yo this is what I thought of?
The reason I unfollowed her group is that those pictures would always pop up on Facebook when people walked behind my desk at work. It raised a lot of questions by my team about whether I was going to BF that long. Lol.
Pretending to lose a child is one of the sickest things ever. Fuck her cookie business, she invaded the child loss community for attention and Internet clicks. Fuck her, man. Fuck her.
