[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's a lot of work for you, but think about creating a new profile, under a slightly different name and rejoining all your groups there. Block your SIL and any relatives or friends connected with her on the new profile. Don't use a picture of yourself or family as the photo, but something artsy. You could even message specific supportive members of the groups and tell them what is going on and what you plan to do.

Keep your old profile, but only use it occasionally. Tell everyone on your old profile you are taking a break from Facebook. My friends do it all the time, especially during Lent and over the summer. In your case, I would keep your old profile to share whatever you want with family but have your new profile on the support sites. This way, you can enjoy the supportive features of facebook groups with your new profile, but still have relatives on your old profile.

I've debated doing this myself, because I realized potential employers can see the groups I have joined...some of which are dealing with chronic health conditions. So I may be doing the same thing, but for different reasons.

Know this puts a lot of the work on you, but it's either you go underground with your social / support activities on the web, or block you SIL and be up front with her and your whole family. I also have super nosey and non-supportive relatives who minimize what I am going through at times, so I feel your pain. [/quote]
