Slander... is defending your honor necessary?

You know, you just helped me realize that I never spent much time on FB until I felt like I had to watch my back. Now I check all the time to see what angle she's going to shoot from next. It use to be fun getting to know people all over again and see what they've been up to and see pictures of them with their familys. I've been able to reconnect with people I have not seen in years and even meet up with quite a few in 3-D because of FB. I don't want to lose those chances, I enjoy that. I'm not sure if ignoring is good enough I've done that for years with my family and lost a lot. I see her game she's tearing away at my reputation to change peoples perseption of me & gain attention for herself. If I do react, it won't be soon but it will be discrete and fair. You've both given me a lot to think about.

Fraidy, discrete and fair is the way to go, if you're going there!

Re: facebook, when a prime minister does this: http://www.thejournal.ie/berlusconi-takes-to-facebook-to-deny-resignation-rumours-273437-Nov2011/
you know just how desperate a situation is. How bonkers is that?!!

fraidycat:
Now that's desperate!... and cowardly. He has the means for all the media attention he wants but he chose a way to avoid it and just get his side in.
I have not reacted to my sisters remarks and I think its best to wait. If it gets worse I might have to stand up for myself...till then I will just ignore it.

Redhead Erin:
The article about attention seeking was spot-on!  Thanks fo rreminding my my nm's behavior isn't "quirky" --it's SICK! I should start a file of such things so I can refer to it whenever I need to.

ignoring is good.

If it gets a lot worse, you could threaten, or start posting links about LEGAL ACTION. Eg: articles on 'when is gossip slander or libel in Law and how do I take it to court?'. I'm partly joking, but it depends how bad it could get?  Just saying that you are aware of the law is enough to stop some bullies (because they're too stoopid to look up the facts for themselves).

It's best not to play the game though. Better to find another game that you like :D
