I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook (totally OT)
Facebook is a very important social outlet for me. I have a large family and many friends who all live far away from me. I have several sisters (I'm not going to mention to # in case I am being stalked) and we have all been very close all our lives, except for one. This sister decided a year ago to move clear across the country to live closer to our other sister. She has two girls and she took them away from their dad and friends to move them. At one point while she was planning her move last year her seperated from husband (they are not even divorced yet) private messaged me asking me if I could find a way to make her change her mind. We chatted back and forth and then finally I told him he needs to either put his foot down or deal with it but I am not going to get in the middle. So my sister moves and I heard no more from her "x". My older sister came for my wedding in June and we got to talking one day and I accidently mentioned how I had heard from this "x" of our younger sister and had felt pressured to get in the middle but hdn't. She (the older sister) went and told the younger sister I had been messaging her "x" and my younger sis decided that it was such a horrible offense she blocked me on all ways of communication, phone, email, instant messaging, FB and so on. I have been so heart broken over this and tried for a couple months to get ahold of her. Finally the other day she accidently picked up her phone when I called and we talked for a half and hour. I was so shocked she talked to me. She seemed so amiable and sweet but near the end of the conversation she said she still will not have me on FB or email. She is such a controlling person and all of our growing up years has been the bain of my family. She is like the queen bee and if anyone crosses her she will try to get everyone else on her side. I have rarely been the blunt of her hate and anger but this time I am. Anyhow, so after we talked and then she said that I hung up and was so upset that she was kind to me and then still drove in that dagger that I sat and cried for awhile and then when I was telling my DH he saw my pain and he found her on FB through one of my brother's friend list and wrote her a private message saying that she really hurt me and how low can she be to treat her older sister like that when all I did was try to do something kind for her girls by being worried for them being moved away from their dad but I didn't do anything wrong. NOW she has all of my sisters against me and I am blocked from them all. We have always been a close circle (not her so much) of sisters. We even have a journal we send around thru the mail to each other and we always have phoned and talked and get together often to be together. She tho has always been sorta the queeen and we've all been rather ruled by her moods, her wants, etc. While our mom was still alive, mom held her in check but now there is no one to hold her in check and she is dividing and conquering our whole family. Part of me just wants to give up but my sisters have been my whole life for my whole life. So at this point I don't know what to do. I am ranting on her b/c maybe some of you ladies might have advise. I know it'll be just let her go, but I cannot let my sisters go and yet I cannot grovel. I did grovel in the phone coversation and she still cut me down with her spiteful words. I said well can we just let bygones be gone and be friends again and she said well I have been so betrayed and my trust has been broken with you so it's going to take time, I'm worried you want to take my girls away from me, etc. Which is so far from the truth it's almost crazy. I did not want her girls to part from her at all, in fact I didn't say anything b/c I didn't want to get involved AND I wanted her to move to be close to my other sister so she could have th support to raise her girls. Maybe she is a bit psycho. I often thought she was a bit like my xh, very self centered and psycho and everyone else is wrong but her.
Ok I am through now, Thanks for listening to me rant. I feel a bit better.
