That caption is weird because there is another pic that says something like "i only ever dream of maeve as a toddler" i'll have to find it again.HelloSweetie wrote:[img]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201704 ... 688430.png[/img]
I disagree, it sure looks like the same child in each picture. And one of the face pictures was just posted above. I just find it very strange especially because it's the same child. It seems unhealthy to be honest. It's one thing to imagine what your child would look like today, but to give her a whole persona and act like she's alive...marshmallowfluf wrote:I don't think it is the same child. I got the impression that she just googled "red curly haired toddler". I also didn't see any pictures of the face?Caisflame wrote:Yeah, though there was at least one or two where you could see the face, she just poorly tried to blur it. It still makes me wonder whose child it is even if it's just the back of the head. I know I wouldn't want pictures of my child used for that reason especially when so many of her posts are questionable. I wonder if the parent(s) know, it's never good to take photos of someone elses child and post them like that without their knowledge. But of course I'm just assuming here. It would be different if she were googling red haired toddlers, but the fact that this is the same child makes me think she's taking these pictures from a personal social media.

Regarding inconsistencies, she also said in an IG post yesterday that in all the years she's known John she's never seen him cry until the miscarriage last week. John states in his Dad Grief video though that he did cry after Maeve (immediately after Joan delivered her and one other time. The second time Joan told him she was relieved to see him cry because it helped her [sic]). He also cried in the Dad Grief video too.marshmallowfluf wrote:That caption is weird because there is another pic that says something like "i only ever dream of maeve as a toddler" i'll have to find it again.HelloSweetie wrote:
Yes she is constantly contradicting herself. I think she just says certain things to gain sympathy in the moment. Why on earth would he not cry over Maeve, but he would cry over this early miscarriage? That didn't make any sense to begin with.Scar2016 wrote:Regarding inconsistencies, she also said in an IG post yesterday that in all the years she's known John she's never seen him cry until the miscarriage last week.

Her grief appears to be pathological and going beyond obsessive at this point. No one her end is stepping in to get her the help she seems to need. I get it, they're fearful of tipping the apple cart over the cliff, but without intervention everyone who loves her are only putting off the inevitable. I even think that every GFM donation that pings on her phone holds her in a form of psychological stasis.
Alcohol at least, but maybe other things as well?calliepaige84 wrote:Do we know what they are "sober" from?

It is definitely creepy. What she had was not a miscarriage though it was a 37 week stillbirth.PostyMcPosterston wrote:Whoa. I know many women who have had miscarriages, but never have they posted photos of other children depicted what their angel baby would look like "today" That totally creeps me out!

This really irked me too, somewhere she said that most people have never experienced loss, and that before Maeve she was that person who would just say "just be happy again". I'm in my mid 20s and I know more people who have lost someone very close to them than people who have never experienced lost.lmmomSD wrote:I did see a few posts in the past few days that are only about the baby that they just lost.
But overall, it's just bizarre. Especially after that "I'm taking time off social media to heal" post. She's been posting every day since. It's like she's addicted to the attention. And all the sympathy just keeps the pity party going.
I hate to judge because I have never been through this kind of thing. But we all have had losses in our lives. And this paralysis just isn't healthy. I do know other women who have had losses, and although they remember, and are definitely changed by it, it hasn't defined them the way this defines her. She really needs some serious help. The therapist she has clearly hasn't helped her move past this at all.

This is a call for the mods, some of which have shared the info here themselves. Sent a pm to Krypto for her opinion.Blehmieux wrote:i kinda think we should refrain from posting screenshots from her instagram considering it's private. it kinda takes away from the idea that this is a website for discussing people who broadcast their lives on the internet when we are the ones taking private posts and broadcasting them here for everyone to see
i know that they have a youtube channel and she links her instagram in the videos but i don't think that justifies us screenshotting her posts and posting them without her consent. she should still get some say over who she wants to see her private posts!

Yep. I know that losing a child is a special kind of grief, and I would never presume to know how awful it is, but anyone saying that their grief is worse or more painful than anyone else's just makes me side eye them. It's very lacking in empathy and compassion. Everyone who forms connections with other people experiences loss and grief at some point. And everyone's grief is painful and important to them. Yet she is literally banking on other people having empathy and compassion for her.funckyerdoder wrote:This really irked me too, somewhere she said that most people have never experienced loss, and that before Maeve she was that person who would just say "just be happy again".

It just gave me the impression of her winning the pain olympics, as someone on here has said before.
