I get back from DC (I will write-up this, I promise) and I find on Facebook family photos of myself and my siblings from when we were really, really young.
I'm shocked that these pictures have been unearthed, but what is really shocking is that the person who posted them, my sister, left the album open for all the world.
These are pictures that I consider very private, especially those that feature me. I'm not a huge fan of being photographed, and seeing myself that young does not bring back happy memories, I'm afraid.
So, naturally, I'm upset that they're being aired out for all the world, without my being consulted.
What's worse is that they're commented on by the same family members that have oh-so-recently declared their disgust for me and how I'm living my life.
I don't want those people even seeing me, let alone images of me as a child!
I politely ask my sister, in a private message, to take down the pictures and I untag myself from all of them.
She fires back with attitude about the past having happened, no matter what I say about it.
She did take down the pictures, but has told me that she will repost them in a private album, without my name on it.
I would rather my siblings not been seen that young, either, but I suppose that's the best I can ask for, as she seems hell-bent on airing out the past for all the world to see.
I do not think that I am out of line by wanting my privacy.
