But that’s not stat happened. She posted something on Facebook that has nothing to do with family. That’s what I am saying. Why give social media control over your own family life? If social media is triggering and causes family issues, get off it.
I don’t understand what Kavvanaugh nomination has anything to do with it. My blood boils over what’s going in in the US right now. Yes nomination of Kavvanaug is yet another symptom of disease. But I am not willing to lose my family over awful political climate in the country and different political affiliations. Political climates come and go but family stays. Unless of course we let social media interfere with family ties.

Sure, I should have ignored her post and just gotten off fb. Instead, I posted a couple inflammatory posts myself “calling her out”. I really thought I’d get a response of “not you, auntie”. Instead I got unfriended.
Now I am sure she hasn’t given it another thought. She truly does not care about me. But I am obsessing about it for over a week now and probably forever. I am that hurt about this. I told my family I am that hurt about this. They choose to invalidate me and ignore me. Oh well...
I’m practicing radical acceptance. My family truly doesn’t care. There’s nothing I can do to change what happened. This happened. It is what it is. I am so hurt they don’t love me because I loved them.
Maybe in my insecurity, I went to test their love and got my azz kicked. Maybe everyone will eventually show me they meant more to me than I did to them.
