ok...so i don't get along with my dad..he's an alcoholic and i need to be away from him. So a month or so ago my brothers decided to take him to best buy and help him get a laptop...now my dad is really computer illiterate...he knows nothing about them...he takes forever to type, asks stupid and obvious questions like..do i click once or twice...stuff like that. Now my brother justin helped him get an email account set up and an fb...he's added my brothers and sister..and my brother suggested that i add him too. I ignored the first request because i really don't want him to see my fb or talk to him at all...he's made my life miserable and has not been a good father at all...i'm in therapy and have a lot of problems because of him. Now this morning he got on and requested that i add him and i ignored him again.

My question is, Do you have certain ppl in your family that u would rather not be friends with on FB or talk to? Are u disgusted with them trying to be involved in your life when u want them as far away from u as possible? I know it sounds mean, but its better for me to be away from my dad than be around him, there is a lot of drama and issues with my dad that i would rather not deal with...and seeing him on facebook just makes me feel like he's trying to pry into my business. I'm trying to become a better person and recover from my childhood or lack thereof...so having my dad as a friend on facebook would completely ruin all the progress i've made. What would u do in my situation?

If it was me I would just keep ignoring his requests and keep my fb private. I do not have a fb at all because of my severely dysfunctional family. I just would rather not have to deal with them at all.

Edit: I think you can block him. Not sure if that would block requests but you can try it.

It's completely within your right given the details you describe. Just keep ignoring the friend requests from him.
