mbabs - here's the deal: I accept your apology now that you've made a real one, and bear you no ill will for how you treated me. It's forgiven and we can both move on from that.
However, that doesn't change the fact that you are indeed a horrible person. The reason you are a horrible person has nothing to do with our interaction. It has everything to do with the fact that you are going to single-handedly ruin your daughter's life and turn her into mbabs jr. You continue to put your wants ahead of your daughter's needs, and that is ****ed up. Your mental condition requires treatment. You refuse to prioritize that, and your daughter is going to suffer for the rest of her life because of it. That is why you are a horrible person. You are also a horrible person for other reasons (including accusing Nat of being a child molester), but the primary reason is how you treat your daughter.
Change your behavior and put your daughter first. Stop accusing people of being pedos if they question the veracity of your statements. When you stop being a horrible person, I'll stop referring to you as a horrible person.

OOT - Nat was not out of line. Here's what he said:
Quote:
If this seemingly nice, normal and happy person can’t help but be full of **** about our childhood then I know for 100% fact that MBabs childhood is full of magic. It may be true to her because she’s twisted the events or stories into what she now tells them to be, but there’s no doubt that some non-zero percentage of her childhood stories are false.
while the "childhood is full of magic" is certainly pushing it, the "non-zero percentage" is completely fine given mbabs' admission of the magic show, status as an unreliable narrator, and continual & repeated instances of describing situations that end up being revealed as being completely different in reality than from her original description.
There is absolutely no question that mbabs has suffered abuse. But that doesn't mean that everything she has claimed is 100% true, and that's what Nat is saying here.
In normal situations and without any additional information, it is best to default to believing claims of abuse. That doesn't mean that it is correct to always believe them, especially when other factors are present. If someone is locked up alone in a 24/7 video monitored psych ward and says that a group of 50 dudes came in and raped them, it's OK to have a little disbelief after reviewing the tape reveals them just crying in the corner the entire time.
mbabs has little to no credibility, and there's nothing wrong with pointing out that some non-zero percentage of her childhood stories are likely false. Especially given how many of her stories as an adult have already been proven to be false. Does anyone really think she's just going to arbitrarily decide to only lie about adult stories, and keep all the childhood ones completely true? Really?
Again - there is no doubt mbabs has suffered abuse. There is also very little doubt she had a ****ty childhood. That does not make it OK for her to call someone a rapist pedo because they suggested that something less than 100% of her stories are true, given her admitted history of lying, the magic show admission, and her general status as an unreliable narrator.
