It's hard to condense this without sharing the full story but .....
I fell out with my mum last year... (Please don't judge, it's a long time coming, not a silly argument but a huge build up of things on her part which culminated in me technically being the 'bad guy' because I ended it all)
so after the falling out my grandma took the time to go around and tell everyone what a horrible person I am. She has a habit of doing this with all the family, we always sausage can never be friends with everyone at once.
I go to a playgroup every week and other family members go there, they also stopped speaking to me apart from to be polite ... For months I never said anything to anyone about it and let them believe what they want....
Since then I've said little bits and tried to explain things but everyone is just focused on what a horrible person I am because the fall out was because of me and no one wants to hear my side.... It's always the excuse of we don't care we are not taking sides etc etc... (Even though they clearly have taken sides)
Anyway the AIBU bit.....
My stepdad (because he's a complete knob and most of the cause of the trouble anyway) kept posting things on Facebook, family meals, pictures of my kids and such like and tagging everyone in them, clearly just to make a point. I had enough of being upset and angry so I blocked him on Facebook, I thought because he tags people then I would have to block all of them so I did. (Should also note that I never use Facebook as a personal thing, I only ever use it for my business so in ever post anything for family to see or anything).
I told someone id blocked them all and they informed me that because I had blocked step dad I wouldn't get any of the posts he had tagged anyway (duh!) so I unblocked everyone apart from him and my mum.
I've gone to message one of my family members who comes to playgroup today only to find they have all blocked me... AIBU to be pissed off? 1. That they have blocked me 2. More that they didn't just ask why i had blocked them I the first place and I would have explained
What should I do??
Do I text her and ask her straight up?
Text her and explain that I blocked them and not mention their blocking?
Text her and play dumb.. Like oh just tried to Msg you on fb but cant find you...
Or just leave it and let them think what they want!
AIBU to be really upset that they are even taking sides without hearing both sides of the story???
Sorry that ended up as a really long post but I literally have no one to talk to about it all and it's really getting me down
