[quote=Anonymous]I just block people from my Facebook wall if they post things that trigger me.  I can remain "Facebook" friends but not see things that bring me down. I did this when a friend posted non-stop political stuff during the last election (even though I agreed with her, i didn't want to see it daily) and I've done it with a few moms who post exclusionary pictures that make me feel sad.

You can't control others, you can only control your response. Out of sight, out of mind.

There are definitely, 100% moms who "get off" on excluding people.  There was one in my son's friend group who seemed to live by the mantra of "An event isn't worth attending unless someone else is excluded".  I was in the inner circle of her invite list but I saw her to do it countless other kids (and moms). It's just how some people are wired and usually comes from a place of deep (and often hidden) insecurity.  I've found that the most fabulous and secure moms are usually the most welcoming and inclusive.
