Social media connects us all, which is great. But sometimes, it can connect us a little too closely—especially to the people we’re trying to live without.

Our narrator (Original Poster) was enjoying a blissful day until an alarming message from a friend shattered her peace. It was a screenshot revealing vile comments about OP’s beloved children hurled by a faceless individual on Twitter. 

The crazy part was—OP never even posted her kids' pictures online. A deep dive into the disturbing scenario revealed the slander came up following a clash between two Twitter warriors.

The innocent kids were caught in the crossfire as the offended fired a scathing retort, assuming the mysterious poster was their parent.

As panic ensued, OP and her husband embarked on a frantic mission to unmask the perpetrator behind the screen. Little did they know, the culprit was lurking much closer to home than they ever imagined.

It was revealed that OP’s dear mother-in-law had been secretly sharing snapshots of her grandchildren with none other than the notorious sister-in-law. She’d been excommunicated from the family circle for her unsavory behavior. So the real question was, why was the mother-in-law even contacting her? 

Well, the mother-in-law claimed she didn’t want her to ‘feel isolated,’ and OP lost it. Her pleas fell on deaf ears as OP couldn’t stop thinking about how many strangers must have saved her toddlers' pictures by now.

OP’s mother-in-law was currently vacationing in her OP, and she wanted her out of the house effective immediately. OP’s husband was on her side, but her father-in-law insisted she was overreacting.

Was she really too blinded by rage?

Let’s dig into the details

Someone on social media was throwing vile shades at OP’s kids. However, OP was concerned how this stranger knew her kids

OP and her husband found out that MIL (who has been staying with them for a week) has been sending pics of the kids to SIL

OP and her husband were furious at MIL for sending out their kid’s pictures without permission

responsibility, SIL used a picture of OP’s kids as her header. This gave the stranger she was arguing with ammo to bash her

The couple want MIL gone from their house, but family members are soliciting

To clarify

We gathered some reactions from the Reddit community:

“NTA. MIL f**ked around and found out. You have every right to protect your children.”

“She’s not remorseful. She’s just regretting she got caught out.”

“If you decide to let her back in at some point, I’d place restrictions on her taking photos. Hold your ground.”

“Intentions are not the important thing here. Consequences are.”

Redditors resoundingly declare NTA. The mother-in-law’s actions were a breach of trust, and OP had every right to be upset. Who knows what else she's shared? 

Many felt that her remorse seemed more about getting caught than genuine regret. Actions have consequences, and it was time she lay on the bed she made herself.
