*If anyone has advice on how to handle this, it would be much appreciated!*
Apparently there was an incident earlier today involving Heather (my daughter) and her younger cousins.......I don't know the exact details because I was at work, but Patty (my sister) posted something about it on Facebook, and basically told the entire world personal family issues. I noticed the comment when I got home, replied with asking her to be more discreet with what she posts about Heather, and mentioned the said comments to my mom......who had been present when the incident occurred.
Meanwhile, Heather was really upset about some of the things which Patty had posted about her, and my mom decided to call their house to say something about it. The comments did get removed from Facebook, but it's created a LOT of nasty feelings and issues......my brother-in-law deleted me from his friends list (and possibly blocked me), Patty is pissed off at my mom for calling and seems to feel that anyone who objected to her comments is "immature", our family is dysfunctional, and unfortunately most people on her Facebook are backing up/supporting this viewpoint.
Now, I'm NOT saying that Heather did nothing wrong, and there's definitely things which she needs to get sorted out. However, I also don't feel that personal family issues need to/should be posted on Facebook for the entire world to read......especially when it's not true and involves my daughter. (Guess I should mention what supposedly happened.......Heather and a friend were playing "Truth or Dare" with Patty's kids, and supposedly they forced one of them to lick an old mattress with cat-piss stains on it)
