Facebook Rumors
My DH no longer has contact with most of his family due to their lying, leeching and such. He never announced it, he just purposely doesn't keep in touch. I don't talk to them either but allowed his aunt's friend request on FB. She comments on a few pics/post now and then.
We move from MA to NC a few months ago. My parents came from MA to visit last month to check out our house and visit our DD. I posted on FB that I was excited. Visit goes great, they go home. I post that on FB, too.
On Thanksgiving, his aunt told family members that my parents came down to get my DD and I and bring us back to MA bcuz we hate it here and my DD's doing bad in school. All of that is completely false! The bit about school she made-up on her own. I never posted anything on FB about how she was/wasn't doing in school...In fact, I never posted anything about hating it here, either. In fact, I'm always posting why I love it here! Makes NO sense.
This isn't the 1st time she has spread rumors or lied about to/about family members but I feel annoyed that she abused our FB connection this way and spread rumors about our DD. I want to post on her wall to keep her drunk yap shut about our family and delete her from my FB friends. What would you do?
Re: Facebook Rumors
Just delete her, period. Don't stoop to her level and give her the satisfaction of a response.
This.
I know you want to defend yourself, and set the record straight. It never works. It adds fuel to the fire, and your words will only get mixed into whatever spin she decides suits her needs. Delete her, as many pp have said. Say nothing. I will add that by doing this, saying nothing and moving along, it will drive her crazy. The drama door closes shut, there is no ending, there is no final word.
I've dealt with my own fair share of gossipwh0res to know this much, they can't stand being ignored.

I will delete her. The thing is, I accepted her friend req a couple years ago before she began drinking heavily, which is when she turns into a negative, spiteful gossip. This has been a recent development. She blames the alcohol but it's clear she has issues I want no part of.
Sara, Friend?
glove slap. I don't take crap.
Meh. If you are going to cut off all communication with her, it doesn't matter what she says in response to being blocked/deleted. I think I'd get a bit of perverse pleasure in de-friending her, it would feel a bit like getting the last FB work.
Alcohol is a truth serum; it basically removes inhibitions ans makes people behave the way they truly want to behave. A person who's a jerk when they're drinking, but nice when they're not, is a jerk who just puts on an act when they're not drinking. When she blames the alcohol, what she means is that the alcohol is preventing her from putting on the nice act.
Delete right away....
And everyone is correct. Do not write anything on her wall.
But I will admit, I would not be able to keep my big mouth shut. I would biitch big time and her wall and tell her to keep her fvcking mouth shut.
Be a better person then I am.
Delete and block her with no explanation.
I am a little confused as to how you know the aunt said anything to anyone about your family when you say you nor DH speak to his family.
