Hi everyone! Thanks for all your comments. This woman is actually a close friend of mine. But she does have her issues, and I accept her the way she is. She is 75 years old and been through a lot in her life, and I don't expect her to change. I take the good with the bad of her. She has an enormously huge heart and is very friendly. I just don't know why she's been directing this negativity towards me and the fosters lately.

I've noticed some changes in her attitude towards me since I moved away and have gotten busier and busier with my job. I think perhaps she is feeling neglected; I don't know. I think what one of you said is true, I think she is wanting attention. I just think about my last visit there and how her company has gone downhill since I left (like literally, she's been opening her home to drunks and addicts--again, too big a heart and not understanding the consequences). I felt like myself and another neighbor provided a sort of buffer for her from the sleazeballs in the neighborhood.

I think you all are right who said just to delete those comments from Facebook. She won't even know I've done it, anyhow. She is not super computer savvy and pretty much only reads Facebook on her phone. I doubt she would even notice.

I don't want to confront her personally because she is extremely sensitive and also somewhat emotionally immature, and she just shuts down when she gets confronted.

Thanks all again for your perspective.
