Just like this forum, even those who are not members can read every single word you type here....i "lurked" and read for nearly 6 months before I joined and found not 1 thread that was not accessable by the world.

One good friend is worth a MILLION relatives.

Me and my mother have big issues and when I moved over an hour away she unfriended me

Then she proceeded to delete her entire facebook account because "people" were posting statuses just to make her feel unloved. Fast forward 4 months later and she has a new one with a totally different name and everything. She was trying to access mine but I have everything as private as it gets so she made a comment about why do people have facebook if they don't want to share

I refuse to friend her again because she will again say "people" are trying to make her feel unloved.

I recently unfriended and blocked my father. They divorced when I was 3, and he hasn't really been a part of my life. My uncle, who helped raise me, walked me down the aisle. I still talk to that side of the family, so see him at family events. Not that we ever talk. I thought there might be a glimmer of a start of a relationship when he said he wouldn't miss my son's 1st birthday "for the world". However, this year, he couldn't make it because he had to work the night before... He didn't offer to come see him another time, etc. But yet he could take off halfway across the US a few weeks later to meet some woman he met on the internet. I commented on his FB post that it was real nice he couldn't take a few hours for his grandson, but could do that. He deleted it. After a long talk with my husband, I deleted and blocked him. If he's not going to make an effort, I'm not going to allow him to see my son's pictures/updates about him.

You can do this crap to me, but like h*ll if I'm going to let you do it to my son. He's old enough to know who "grandpa" is and it certainly isn't him. Luckily my stepfather (who's only been in the picture for the last 3 years) is a good guy. Sad thing is, I have a half sister and brother that he doesn't keep in touch with either. I've never met them.

Other relatives, you're welcome to stay until you start drama. Then you have to go if you try to drag me into it

Yup. And ignored friend requests from my MIL on several occasions

I have few "safe " places. Not allowing her access to my life on FB.

Just got a remark from my sister about it on FB.
Playing the "poor mommy" card.

After all the crap mother has done she is lucky to have any contact with us.

YES! and all drama broke loose, I have never had a family member do be unfriended but people are crazy. We'll just leave it at that lol

I unfriended my cousin. When my dad passed away last year, she made it a point to call everyone on her side of the family and make sure to tell them that my dad didn't want services and that they shouldn't come to them(since we were having them) that we were not following his wishes. Whatever. She never came to see him except the day he was diagnosed, and the day he died(after he died).. so how the .... does she know what he wished? The family didn't come.. go figure. my gma's funeral was only a couple weeks later, most came to that but not her. She recently friended me.. then i thought about it.. and i deleted her. If she wants to contact and ask why i deleted her i will tell her point blank. Ugh. I hate family drama. the rest of my family is pretty good. BUT if the drama starts..they are gone LOL.
