Poll: are you Facebook friends with your MIL? If no, were you ever? How has it been?

I wasn't for the first couple of years I was with my ex, but then I figured I should do considered we were getting pretty serious and I was being invited to family events and such. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER.

She commented on literally everything I posted with attention grabbing rubbish (she was well known among my friends as the weirdo who commented on everything I posted... I explained she was my then-boyfriend's mother and they were like why won't she leave you alone?) . She posted stuff like "my baby boy is so handsome!" on any photo of my ex or me with my ex.

She shared those horrible mommy memes constantly tagging my ex in them (the one that was posted on here the other day about "I am your parent first and your friend second... I will stalk you and hunt you down" blah blah was her favourite, along with other creepy ones about no one loving my ex as much as she will).

After we broke up she started sharing all these memes about how only cowards walk away from things when they get tough and posting passive aggressive crap which I believe was aimed at me but like always I remained cool and didn't bother rising to it. She did this stuff all through our relationship, I think just to bait me into going mental or something - she did the same thing to her other son's ex, posting passive aggressive shit all day long about it and the ex actually called her out on it on facebook! lol.

She wouldn't fuck off though and kept messaging me about my breaking up with her son, it was so fucking inappropriate so I just ignored it and deleted the lot of them.

Don't do it, don't add any of them. It's a nightmare and even worse after if you break up. She's a total weirdo and I wish her and my ex a happy life together!
