Am I being ridiculous?!

[NewYearSad]

First time posting. New Years Eve and feeling very sad. I just would like some advice if I am being ridiculous or have every right to feel sad.
Step mum lives in Australia with my Dad. Not overly close as they emigrated to Australia when my son, their grandson was 8ish. They come back maybe once a year / twice a year. We have visited a few times. I have tried and put up with a lot for the sake of their relationship with my son/ their grandson. Step mum has family here although no children of her own. To cut a long story short, she has just posted a gushing Happy New Year post to friends and family on Facebook book. Posted pictures of “family” but none of me and my sister. But particularly upsetting none of my son. He is in his 20s now btw. I feel I have to say something. What would you think and feel?

It’s extremely insensitive and nasty.

Personally, I wouldn’t say or do anything about it. DON’T give her that satisfaction.

Head held high and carry on.

When they visit the UK do exactly the same as above.

IF you do acknowledge her awful behaviour, all you’re doing is letting her know your weaknesses and she’ll do it even more.

She’s a nasty bitch.

Thank you. I needed that xx

You don't have to say anything. You are of course allowed to feel how you do, but there's no rules on what anyone else does on SM.

When did she and your dad get together? Was she a stepmum to you growing up? 🙁

It was a tactless post, but I wouldn't think it malicious & intentional, more thoughtless, unless there's history there.

But she's not your blood, it's how your father acts that really matters.

I don't think saying anything to her would help.

I often get left out of family stuff. It shows them for who they are, not who you are. Raise your head above it.

Yes from the age of 5. Just feel quite baffled by it now

But your not her family, your her DH family.

If I post family on FB I’d never post my step mum or step brother. I’ve only know them in adult life - and we’re in the same country! Let alone Aus!

I think you’re looking for issues.

I'm careful what I post about my step children, out of respect for their mother. I hate that my dc's fathers gf posts about my dc so am careful not to do the same.
