I think I found a good solution for the facebook issue. I went on and was able to ‘unfollow’ any new posts from my mother and sister (heaven help me!) and I was able to set my new posts to be ‘friends except my mother and sister’ and I’m pretty sure no one else on facebook can see that setting to know I did it. This way, I didn’t cause any drama by unfriending or blocking, but I won’t be bothered by them.

This thread got me thinking that I am truly bothered by their antics on stupid facebook, and why should I let them chase me off there?

I had posted a video of my son playing guitar at a school show, mostly because his music teacher asked to see it. I was glad that my mom called and said she enjoyed it. But then she had to say how my sister liked it and commented. What bugs me is that my sister treated me cruelly several months ago (which was the first conflict ever had with her), refused to apologize, and never called me again. So why is she liking my posts? It does bother me. It feels like control and disrespect or it is hoovering without actually ever having to apologize.

Thanks all for the helpful posts that got me to block them for my own peace of mind.

Maybe doing this will alleviate any discomfort your ex friend’s likes are giving you, DD.
