I keep things locked down for the most part so my story isn't as bad as some of the things I've read about in here, but still...

In the beginning of our relationship I was so naive about DH's family and his ex. I mean, what kind of people could witness what BM did to DH, a blood relative to them, and still remain friends on fb and in real life with her? Oh.....

Ok, so I un-friended all of them except for a brother and a cousin early on in our relationship. That wasn't enough because I still saw upsetting posts from time to time if DH was tagged in something or if one of them commented on his posts so I blocked some of his family members as well. I also have BM and skids blocked for obvious reasons.

Well, yesterday DH posted a very flattering status update where he declared publicly how I was the best thing that ever happened to him. It was really sweet. God, I love that man.

Apparently one of his family members made a snarky remark along the lines of "when you say the best thing, does that mean better than your kids too?". I can't see it because that person is blocked. Ugh. Bitch. Who rains on someone else's parade like that? Anyway, it sparked a couple of posts from the anti kid-centric parenting crowd. That was pretty cool because now I know which of our friends think like us and make their marriages the top priority.

So the point of my story is that much to DH's dismay, I had very good instincts about the people I blocked. He thought I was going overboard at the time but my hunches were right. The people who remain friends with BM aren't worth my time.
