Is Confrontation Or Ignoring The Best Course Of Action.....
10 Answers
when you find out someone has been spreading malicious gossip about you?
In this case my mum told me a family friend, who lives in Italy, has been speaking ill of me to anyone who will listen and really personal, nasty stuff like I am 'uneducated', not of the same class as them etc! A lot of this is cultural Italian pretension (my father had an Italian mother) and gossip and talking about people behind their back is a national pastime there .... but for some reason I have been made a scapegoat here!
My boyfriend is livid that my mother even told me the rubbish that was being said as I didn't need to know and all she has done is stirred the pot more. He also thinks my mother told me this to demoralise and demotivate me and I agree with him because my mother is that kind of a woman
I do not have this family 'friend's' contact details to confront though I could easily track her down on social media and put her in her place - would you?
Or is it best to ignore it, seeing that she lives in a complete different country?
