My fiance and I had a baby recently, and his side of the family have been nothing but horrible to me.
There's now a new guy who's appeared on facebook and is being abusive about the whole thing, calling me a headcase ect, because I didn't want to meet up with him. Belive me he looks like a pervert... Anyway!
At the moment I'm ingnoring him, because I can't be bothered to outsmart him. How would you deal with it?

The block button! People who bug you like that on Facebook should be nothing buy pixles on a computer screen. Any body who goes as far as to name call you does not deserve your time. How rude!!

The family one seems to be the hard one to deal with. You love your fiance & he loves you - you two have a baby together. They should already know that you're going to be in his life for good now. I'm so sorry that this is happening to you, this must be really hard. :\
Why are they being bad towards you?

Block them if it's online and if it's offline I just don't deal with them.

Thanks for the advice :)
His mum broke up with his dad along time ago and since remarried. She decided she wanted another baby and then got really moody when I got pregnant accidentally before she did.
She then lectured my fiance about how the baby wasn't his, how it's kindest to just about him, and how he was immature and stupid for getting someone pregnant at 17, although she had him at 18 so I don't know how she can say that.
She has since demanded a paternity test and disowned her son, but she sets various members of her family after me, and I'm not really sure how to deal with any of them or the current situation, as she has since dragged social services into the entire thing, long story.

Block the Facebook guy. As for people in real life treating you badly, it's a shame you can't use a block button on them. You can't go through your life caring what other people think/say about you. It's your life and they have no place to judge you for how you choose to live it. They need to mind their own dadgum business and start living their own lives instead of being so concerned with yours. I know it's your fiance's family, but I would cut off ties with them if I were you because even if things do get better they are still bad people for treating you like that in the first place and that's something that you will never be able to forget no matter how many apologies are thrown around. I think you will be much happier if you just surround yourself with supportive people instead of all that negative energy! :)

I wish it was that simple. I've stopped speaking to them, but sometimes they'll still phone Connor and stay that they'll be okay if he gets the paternity test done. I thought that family love was meant to be unconditional, not "get a test and I'll love you" and I've been trying to talk him out of it, but I don't know if he's strong enough, and I know she bullies him. "Here are some new shoes, now get your paternity test done."
The worst thing is, she's never said any of it to my face, and then she'll send other people after me because I won't speak to her, that's where this facebook guy, and the last couple of people who've trolled me have come from.

Well, I would suggest maybe deleting your Facebook until all of this calms down. Change your cell phone number. Everything like that. So they wont be able to harass you.
