To add or not to add, that is the question...

🦇𝓡

So I'm gonna post here since many of you know me and relationships with parents and kids can be controversial.

My mother sent me a friend request this morning and I've been debating on whether or not to accept it. Its been eating at me all day.

Reasons that are keeping me from adding her:

-She's used my identity to put me in $70k+ debt.

-Took a cable bill out in my name.

-She's been an abusive alcoholic pill junkie since I was 10.

-She lied to me about her pill usage during her pregnancy with my sister and now my sister is delayed for her age.

-She doesn't seem to care about my brother. She didn't react at all when I told her he was struggling and having violent thoughts.

-Didn't care that my grandpa has Stage 3 COPD, almost Stage 4 and could die soon.

-I've spoken to her twice during my whole pregnancy. I saw her once for my sister's birthday in January and I talked yo her once a couple weeks ago. She didn't even call me on my birthday in February and when she called a few weeks ago she didn't even ask about her grandchild. She didn't know his sex, due date, development, nothing and she didn't ask.

-Social media is a huge part of my life, or it used to be so she'd be included in a lot more than she is now, which I'm not too comfortable with.

Reasons that I'm thinking of adding her:

-More of a connection to my sister, which is the only reason why I still have contact with my mother.

-She's still my child's grandmother so I feel guilty about not allowing her to see pictures and watch him grow from afar.

That's pretty much it. 😐 What do I do?
