Some seem to think that bad behaviour is justifiable in certain circumstances, here's my example:
One of the frustrations of social media is people's ability to misuse it.
My children and I use social media. I've had to close down Instagram and linkedIn due to my mother using these to harass me.
I've also had to secure my Facebook profile very tightly. My mum will not except my right to not have a relationship or block her. She has now set up 4 fake accounts to my knowledge.
She has used these accounts to stalk my friends Facebook profiles for images of me or my children which she has then liked or commented on despite never even being interested in meeting my close friends before we estranged and not knowing them.
She stalks my children on social media which they find upsetting in some cases and in others they just block and move on.
I've been told that this behaviour, that no one would find acceptable in normal circumstances, is acceptable because it is my mother is doing it and she is justified in her actions to set up fake profiles to view or try to contact the family that belongs to her.
Personally I think that by behaving this way she is only hurting herself but she would never accept my wrongdoing or any responsibility for that.
