Facebook silliness. Who is right?

Hi all, this is a very trivial one.

I have a dp who I have been with for 3 years, get on well with her family - her Sister can be a bit of a wind up.

Anyway, have been feeling down lately, came off anti depressants (which I was taking for anxiety rather than depression, Citalopram 20mg) I didn't come off them properly, just pretty much stopped taking them and recently I have been emotional and angry. Sometimes sensitive.

Anyway, I recently discovered that someone had bashed in the drivers side door of mt carm, a massive dent and scratches. Its an old car but its my first car and I have only been driving since June last year. I have had a few bumps in it but this one is a mystery.

So (as you do) I had a mini rant on Facebook saying how disappointed i felt that someone can do this and not have the decency to leave a note (naive?).

DP'S sister commented something like I was probably lying and I am a shit driver and probably bumped into someone and too scared to admit it. I replied saying that wasnt the case. Then she announced about the time I had left my handbreak up (it had broken) and it rolled across a busy street. I accept this happened and it was bad - luckily no one and nothing was hurt or damaged. Then "friends" replied to her comments with "lmao" etc. Basically everytime I post something on FB - particularly about driving, I get some snotty or rude response and last night I just thought - fuck it. I dont need FB in my life so I deactivated it.

Now this morning (DP works nights) DP has said that her sister is upset because she thinks I have blocked her on Facebook and that I need to text her to explain I have just deleted Facebook and not her. I said that I am not obliged to do this and I can delete social media sites as and when I want without having to explain!

Am I right? Should I stick to my guns and not text the Sister or message her to explain?

It annoys me that I was trying to make a point that I am not putting up with the shitty comments anymore and by doing so, I've now got to apologise to HER!?

Op some people live to wind others up and get a reaction, your sil is one of them.

Next stupid comment she makes just let it go over your head, barely respond. Don't give her the response she wants and she will soon give up.

Is your DP the younger sister? It's hard to tell your big sister she is in the wrong but it's something she is going to have to learn.
