Did a Question "Poof"?

Nope, it got pulled. I thought the math was OK - 2 yrs old when she left 13 years ago and now the kid is 15. I guess she asked for the deletion.

Thanks for the question. The question you are asking about was deleted at the request of the member who asked the question. There were no reports of any violations of MP policy either of the question itself or any of the responses. They were all perfectly fine. On rare occasions member's may request that their own questions be deleted, which we do our best to discourage, however if they are particularly insistent and determined that that is their wish then that is what we do. When a question gets deleted all associated responses get deleted as well. Unfortunately, our system currently does not allow me to put a placeholder indicating what happened -although we may consider this as a future improvement. So that's what happened here. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to explain.

She might have been afraid that her question might end up on Facebook, Feline. Who knows...

It seems to be gone. My flowers for a response just take me to a blank screen. Not sure what the problem was. The question did not seem inappropriate to me.

Yes, I kept trying to answer and it redirected me.

I didn't see any disrespectful answers.

Yep, it seems to have disappeared. I too thought the answers were honest and respectful - although I had not responded. Maybe there was a not so respectful SWH? I don't know.

I noticed that. I'd like to see a place holder too Mike, good idea.

I checked back to see if she'd added a SWH and noticed she updated more than once.

While I wanted to be supportive of the fact she was abused and her mom picked guy over her (horrible) I was focusing more on the upset she said this was causing her daughter. The last update I saw said she was going to sit everyone down that evening to decide on what they should do - as a family.

If that's the case, then I think our saying it really shouldn't have been up to the daughter (what kid wants to know this stuff..) probably didn't register. I think she was more caught up in her own emotions, so us saying consider the daughter probably came across as harsh.

Those are the questions I find hard. My husband's experience with his mother being emotionally upset during his childhood about her childhood messed him up. So I'm a bit frank when I answer those kinds of questions. But certainly not disrespectful. I think everyone wanted her to get the help she needed.

*Poof*. I questioned her story and her math. Her daughter was two when she left 15 years ago (17 now) but she said her daughter is 15 now. Then just the mess with her daughter upset about dad having sex with the long lost mother. I hope she gets it together.

oh, thank you! i was wondering what happened to that too!
