@GentlemanGeorge She hasn’t done that but she is evil in different ways. She has gotten someone arrested with her lies and also had at least two protective orders filed against her.

@GentlemanGeorge I do but she has a way of being destructive to others even when they do that.

About the only thing you can do is write your own account (or copy hers and correct what you see as errors).
Such things have been common since humankind kind began writing things down. I bet tribal members of cave drawing artists went back to their own cook fires and said "That's not how it happened at ALL."

@Mamapolo2016 She’s extremely narcissistic. She takes an interesting stories and embroiders it around herself.

@cherokeepatti People who know her probably know that. As for the rest, how much do casual FB readers matter?
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Mamapolo2016 They don’t but she has a way of gaslighting people. Eventually she’ll get dealt with on it. I think she fears legal problems is the reason she doesn’t mention my name.

I have a sister who is a bit like that. A few years ago a guy wrote a local newspaper article about our family which was largely fiction. When I tackled him about it he disclosed that he'd got most of his info from my sister. She was adamant that she was right. Trivial things like how our parents first met. I eventually came across a letter which proved her version was entirely in her imagination. When I showed her the letter she at least admitted she'd got that bit completely wrong. I don't think it was deliberate; just an inability to distinguish real memories from imaginary. Makes one wonder how accurate many of these biographies are.

@alan20 Alan, She used to write a column for a small-town newspaper and I still have some of the things she wrote about me without naming me. She won a state journalism award based on things that weren’t always true or embellished to make it seem different than what really happened. She considers herself to be a gifted journalist now. And a few years later the owner of the newspaper had to take out protective orders on her

Sad that does happen. Sadder still that she might publish it. Perhaps you might give her a heads up though. Liable is liable.
I go through a pain staking process to double check most my own stories here. Yet I know some of the details are not exactly correct. Yet I have no one to consult. And no one is willing to do any checking.
Heck not even on ancestry.com are any of my relatives checking. They just copy my own research without saying anything. Not even notifying me that they have copied it. That's how badly they think of me.
Sucks being the one ostracized from the family.

There was no internet when she was in high school so no easy way for the teacher to check it. But I had my suspicions about it because it was written from a man’s point of view. She was so proud of “writing” that poem that she bragged about it on Facebook but said she lost the paper she wrote it on. She gave it to a relative who gave it to me.

@cherokeepatti I don't know what to say. I have had my own family problems. Yet not of this type. Accusations have been made, wrongly I might add, yet mostly around religion. Those accusations were the end of it! I won't stand to put up with that type of thing. So I isolated myself from them. Better to live without that kind of angst, than to put up with it. For fourteen years now I have not had one communication from anyone. Not even after my eldest half-sisters death some five years ago. I learned of it through a death certificate from ancestry.com as well.

@DeWayfarer In the same situation. I had good relationships with her children & they don’t even reach out. I think she has gaslighted me badly for over 5 years....and they know what she is like. The stress of dealing with her toxic energy made me cut all ties with her, but her children are different.

@4meAndyou I have a FB page but I don’t post. I do monitor her because she has habitually gas-lighted me and I’m tired of it. It may get to the point where she will get confronted. I believe she hasn’t mentioned my name on FB because she knows better but she writes stuff about me & twists it to make it seem different. But how can she write a life book without mentioning me by name? And then writing a lot of crap.
