Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 GAWWWWW!!! I just have to vent a little. Not to add to the million and one threads here about Facebook.... But months ago I blocked my mom from reading my wall and posts on Facebook. She admitted to me pretty quickly after that she was using a mutual friend to " spy " on me but would not tell me who. I called up my aunt, her sister, who has long known my mom wasn't quite right. I point blank asked her if she shared info from Facebook about me with my mom, to which she said no. My mom makes a big dramatic exit from Facebook and deletes her account. I didn't believe it when she did it and knew she would never " disappear " from Facebook. So to safegaurd myself, I blocked all 38 of our mutual friends, including family members. Except my aunt, who told me she didn't share info with my mom. (you know where this is going don't you???) Getting to my point - I found out tonight, this aunt has given my mom her Facebook ID and password and my mom has been logging in to her account to look up my profile and my brothers!!! My mom was actually in the act tonight when I found this out. I was livid. I called her up immediately (at 11pm), told her I didn't appreciate being spied on, and I was going to tell her sister what she was doing. Very coy, she says " She knows I use her account to look at pictures and its my business what I do " and I very happily said - " You can kiss that free ticket to my profile goodbye because she is now officially blocked too! There is no one left! " and she hung up on me. I really truly believe my mom lied to my aunt about how she was going to use her Facebook account and my aunt believed her. My aunt is the most genuine person I know and would be/is going to be livid when she finds out how she was using her account. She still doesn't know the extent of my mom's illness, even though she knows she's " not right " . The flip side is, she may not be mad and may believe the lies my mom tells her that I supposedly said about her. Who knows what will happen. I don't want to delete my account because there are really important connections there that I cherish and am afraid I would lose touch with. But DAMN - why does my mom's cunning evil blatant caniving manipulation of others to get her way STILL surprise me!!! I know I know - someone said the other day I was still processing through separating my mom from her illness. But I'm damn close to being there at this point. Is there ANY WHERE TO GO to be safe from her violating my privacy?? I think it was my T that said Evil was like a cockroach - just when you think you have sealed up all the cracks, it finds a way to get in and you just have to keep sealing up all the cracks until you are safe. I just want to scream!!! I hope I can wind down and go to bed soon. Thanks for listening, as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Oh, yucky. This is why so many of my friends have 2nd FB accounts. My nada found my 2nd account (my unusual middle and maiden name) as it came up as a 'friend suggestion' for her from mutual friends. I have since blocked every one of those mutuals, including my own kids. In this digital, internet age it is almost impossible to be invisible. As for the aunt, I realize she thinks she means well. But sharing her id and password with a KNOWN trouble maker is a breach of good sense and a dip into dishrag land. She has proved herself an unsafe harbor. > > GAWWWWW!!!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yes, I don't feel safe on Facebook at all. I'd rather communicate with my friends via e-mail or Groups like this, where anonymity is easier to maintain. -Annie(based on a randomly-generated e-mail address) > > > > GAWWWWW!!!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I think separate facebooks are a good suggestion. I only have a dummy account now, in another name with no friends. but when I had a real account i didn't use the real spelling of my name and I had my whole family blocked. I can't imagine having family on something like that. Though, sadly, I have to say, I don't have a single positive relationship with anyone in my family. Not one. I have my dad to thank for that mostly, because he character assassinates me to anyone who will listen, and always has. I really never realized that until writing it just now...but I don't. I valued my grandmother but she died in 2003. Everyone else has been influenced by his lies and what I know now is my mother's covert and sometimes overt support of them. > > GAWWWWW!!!

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 This sounds like such typical nada behavior. They just can't stand being blocked from whatever they want and they'll use whoever they need to use to get their desires satisfied. I think the only way to be safe from their prying and invasions of privacy is to go far away and not let anyone know how to get in touch with you. That's a high price to pay. My sister joined the military the week after she graduated from college and never let our nada know how to get in touch with her other than through me. Our nada still tries to pry information out of me and it seems likely that she tries to pry it out of other people too. Unless other family members know and understand the situation and agree with your attempts to keep your privacy, it is easy for them to fall prey to a scheming nada who wants to extract information.
