Ex wants to "friend"?
My ex-wife (who divorced me like 15 years ago) found me on facebook and wants to "friend" me. She had 'issues', in the day; but my Mother wonders how she is doing. 'Friend' or ignore?

Friend her. Be cool. Casual conversation -"Hey! How ya been?". Readdown her wall to see what kind of stuff she posts, to see if she seems unbalanced. See what kind of conversations she puts out towards you. Then if you are not comfortable having her in your circle, you can always inbox her a message saying that it was nice to catch up, but you don't think it's a good idea to have a constant ongoing form of communication, so you are going to delete her. Hopefully no hard feelings.

If I have any doubts about a friend request I receive on facebook I always accept it, the reasoning behind it is that then I can see more about them, what they are doing, is anything weird going on and then once I have that information I either leave them as friends or I use that wonderful block button all of which can be done in 5 mins if you want. There's no harm in finding out and for all you know if there were issues in the past she may be trying to lay them to rest.

If you have someone right now that you care about,tell the ex to just bugger off. What business does she have writing to you after 15 years of divorce? If your mom wants to know how she's doing,she can ask her herself.

Let your mother sign up for facebook and friend her. Issues in the past? Be afraid, very afraid.

If your mother cares so much about her then she needs to friend your ex herself.

Friend. My ex did something similar and it has proven benificial.Let bygones be or you will rue it if you make an enemy out of her.You are both grown up now and should act as such.

When in doubt, DO NOT FRIEND. If your mother is worried about her, SHE should be the one friend-ing her on Facebook.

If you are currently seeing someone now, then I would avise no contact at all. Ignore!
