nobody hates you!

Don't worry about it, I'm sure you'll be fine! and don't talk silly, we love ya

It's alright Raph, I take awhile to reply sometimes as well.

And you're welcome Raph, I hope we all can get past what happened on here recently.

Aw Raph it's okay, I did think for a bit maybe you didn't care haha but I realised you're obviously going through a lot right now and you may be a bit reluctant to open up and discuss it, so I totally get that, don't worry about it!

You're welcome though, anything to support a friend as long as you've got people around you that can help and support you that's all that matters!

Ah, well I learnt something new today!

....that person didn't exist...and especially because that person would not have decieved you or any of her other friends...'Mollie' if she had existed wouldn't have let the friendships develop so deeply knowing her deception..'Mollie' would have found a way to put this right long ago...and that's not saying they're a bad person either...it's just that they weren't 'Mollie' and they were actually in reality a total stranger to you...and it's impossible to have a deep frindship with a stranger...you never knew Mike at all and Mollie doesn't exist so really there isn't a loss at all and if you can, you must try to remember that....

..I'm going to send this message in 2 parts Raph because it's quitle long lol....

..no, of course I wouldn't hate you Raph..you silly sausage lol...I didn't agree with the thread at the time and felt that maybe it should have been left to the mods to decide whether to 'announce' it or not ..but tbh Raph, you can't keep something like that a secret so I guess it had to come out...the problem with an 'open' thread though is as you know, people all have something to say and it can get quite harsh but at the same time Mollie could have come on and had her say and explained..?...just a mess really, whichever way you look at it Raph....but I'm glad you've come to terms with it all and put it into perspective in your life...I'm sure you were good friends and confided things in each other and that's a huge loss for you, I understand that..but I guess what you have to try to remember is that she never was the person who was your friend at all..

Ah I know the one! and alcohol is a drug? Since when?

Ah, jolly good!

..Raph..I hope I don't offend you by saying this because it's not how it's meant..but I think it's kind of become a bit obvious that you had feelings for Mollie/Mike...but Raph, it's good to try to get a bit of perspective on it if you can..kind of take a step back..this is just someone you 'met' on the internet and it may have felt like they were a great friend etc..and it might feel like a huge loss in someway..I do understand that..but the truth is that whoever they are..?...they were never someone who was ging to figure in your real life at all or make any real impact...try if you can to kind of put it all behind you..?........
