So a bit confusing sorry, a little while ago I noticed this woman at my sons school kept looking at me oddly, like she knew me or something (or didn’t like which didn’t seem likely at first as I didn’t know her). I shrugged it off at first, thinking maybe she is just a little odd.

I don’t see her all that often now DS in the juniors. Her DC are over the infant side but she was at parents evening. I sat up after speaking to the teacher and I spotted her looking over and muttering. I walked out a bit confused. Who is this woman???

So I decided to look her up on Facebook. I had no idea what her name was, but found her through a little bit of searching - I’m not a stalker honest 😂😂

So she was local, we went to the same school but at completely different times as different ages. Through a little bit of Facebook stalking I found out why she might dislike me...

She’s a relation to my uncles ex whom he has a son with so I assume that’s where the issue is. Not sure how she knows me mind. I would never of put this link together without fb. But my uncle and his ex had a turbulent relationship. They lived at my grandparents, I witnessed a lot of it as a child as me and my mum lived there too - busy household!! (bearing in mind they were together 20+ years ago and she moved away a long time ago). Police were involved at the time. When they split her family sent threats and constantly harassed my dear grandparents who have always been the loveliest people you could meet. It was an awful time from what I can remember but very much in the past. My uncle always seen his son despite the fact he doesn’t get on with his ex at all.

If this woman’s problems lie with my uncles ex would you try and catch her for a friendly chat? Obviously I wouldn’t dive straight into it but could just get chatting randomly one day. I’m good at chit chat and maybe get onto that.. or leave it. I don’t want to feel paranoid about her talking about me. I mean, I was a child when my uncle split with this woman. It was a long time ago and what issues her and her family have with mine are nothing to do with me and I don’t want any issues with any of the mums at school!

I would give her a wide berth to be honest she sounds like a bit of a troublemaker, gossip, weirdo.

Stay well away. Who cares what she thinks?

Darkstar4855 · 19/11/2018 19:11

Definitely not!

JKCR2017 · 19/11/2018 19:23

I don’t want to speak to her. I’m not usually one to bring things up with people and I usually let it ride. But I don’t want to be associated with terrible things that happened 20 years ago when I was a child 😩

I'd say something to her if she was muttering about me and giving dirty looks. I'd ask her what the issue is. Why should you feel uncomfortable and possibly be badmouthed and she swans about unchallenged? Fuck that.
