What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
My soon to be ex step-sister recently posted a comment below my status update on Facebook. It didn't state our names, however, it was directly linked to me. Therefore, everyone knew who she was talking about. In fact, one of my other friends even commented to her that she didn't know her but thought she was awful for saying such things about children regardless of how mad she was at me.
The "clean" version of what she posted is as follows:
"I guess it's better to marry a *wimp* who can't stand up for himself, have one kid that's gonna end up in jail, and the other that's gonna be gay, and still not lose any weight."
For the record, my husband and I have been happily married for 17 years. Obviously, how we act works for us. My son she thinks is gonna end up in jail is 10 years old. She thinks this because he got into a scuffle with her 9 year old nephew. My son she thinks is gonna be gay is 11 years old. She thinks this because he's not girl crazy. He's more focused on sports and school work. He doesn't act like her niece who is the same age and totally boy crazy-to the point her own step dad said he's worried about her starting middle school. Not to mention, so what if he does end up gay. I'll love him the same. However, there's one little girl that could squash that thought. He sends her text all the time asking her if she likes him. As far as me losing weight, I've lost 75 pounds.
My point is, all of these things, to me, can be proven false. My worry is, I'm friends on Facebook with my 11 year old, therefore, all of his friends from school also saw this horrible comment. I did quickly hide myself on his page in case it continued, but the damage had already been done.
I don't care what she says about me, but don't mess with my kids!
Could I possibly sue her?
