Am I wrong for deleting my aunt off FB or is she overacting?
My great aunt is jealous of a family friend whom I address as Aunt _________. She has always been there for me and knows EVERYTHING about me. My blood related aunt doesn't even know my correct birth last name. She wrote me on FB and said that's not my aunt stop calling her that. Well I wrote her back and explained nicely and she got mad, so I deleted her off FB. I don't want people fighting on my FB. Especially because the family friend has one too. Then today she emailed me and asked why I deleted her and she said the reason I did it was because she hated the family friend and when the family friend was a teenager she was a B*tch. I was very upset and wrote her. Nicely explaining to her that the only time she talks to me is if I say or do something with the family friend. Then she replied so why won't you talk to me because I hate the b*tch. Is she overacting or am I wrong?

It's my great aunt- My mom's aunt
The family friend doesn't want to involve herself. She loves me and said if it doesn't stop after I talk to her then she is going to say something to my great aunt. It's not right

no ur not wrong. ur great aunt has no right to be upset about a family friend. she is over-reacting and she needs to know that. u should tell her that the only reason u deleted her off FB is because she is over-reacting and she needs to stop. ur family friend has been nothing but nice to u as long as ur happy with ur aunt _______ then ur great aunt should be happy too no matter the family friends past.

Its your fb page you can do what ever you want. I am not sure how old you are, but the older you get the less you will want to have family as you face book friend. By the way check out last weeks south park it was funny and its all about your issue.

Your great aunt is way overreacting. It sounds as if your not-so-great-aunt has some unresolved emotional issues and to put you in the middle is totally unfair.

Why not ask you mom to speak to her aunt. She can tell her aunt that you hated to delete her as a contact but that she was upsetting you and wasn't respecting your right to have a friendly and fun home page. That you would like to add her back once you are assured that the only things she would say on your page would reflect her nice and loving side. Your mother can appeal on the basis of peace in the family. One option is that your mother can explain that you love to have your family around you on FB and that you would be willing to add her again but if she behaves in the same way, there will be no additional chances.

Obviously this aunt is jealous of a woman who, as a family friend, has done the things that auntie could have done but didn't. What concerns me is that she feels that access to a keyboard and your FB page gives her the right to let loose.

Something is wrong. This is an adult who is acting like a spoiled child. Makes me wonder if there isn't a medical problem. Perhaps it is time for the family to do some assessing about your great aunt's condition.

I don't think it is good for you "play aunt" to intercede. That will only make your great aunt angrier. But do ask for other adult help because I think your great aunt needs help.

Are you wrong. No way
Are you over-reacting - you were not the one who over-reacted

Facebook should be fun, social, sociable, pleasant and something you look forward to. It is not a place to hang all of your dirty emotional laundry and to abuse people - unless that's your thing - and then you risk being cut off by family and friends.
