    So it was about a year ago that I first noticed it in the family whatsapp group. I was my older (toxic) sister who put in a message that happened to contain a name as well as another name (surname of her in-law family). My name wasn't capitalised, but the in-law family name was. As well as this, another random word near my name was capitalised for no reason. It was almost as if to draw more attention to the fact that my name wasn't capitalised. Anyway I didn't react to it.

    A day or two later my younger sister put in a post with three other names of relatives along with my name. All names were capitalised except mine! I made a dig at her saying "you wouldn't be undoing the auto-capitalisation of my name?!". My dad responded quickly with a post of my name spelled out properly. But after that there was no reaction from her at all. I think my dad did this to get rid of any tension or awkwardness. But he really shouldn't have as it was for her to address it. Out of curiosity I looked through other posts in the group from the other toxic sister and not surprisingly I found that she indeed capitalised her husband's/daughter's name and I did find a previous mention of my name uncapitalised. Anyway I met the younger sis a few days later and decided not to bother mentioning anything about it. However when she brought up something else that had been said on the group, I of course instantly thought of it again. I chickened though. I should've used that as an excuse to catch her out on her not capitalising my name.

    Then just about 2 months ago my younger sister WhatsApps me to announce she's pregnant. The message said "Hi name, Name and I are expecting...". Now it would have been one thing if her husband's name was also left uncapitalised, but it wasn't. I thought to myself "I've called her out on this before, surely she must know she's annoying me with this?". I was chatting with others when I got this message and it pissed me off so much that I went silent for a while. Why would she do that? It doesn't make any sense, as we'd been getting along lately. It's almost like as if she was saying "I know you'd like to call me out on not capitalising your name, but you can't now because I'm announcing big news"! I was planning to message her back, bluntly saying "you're still not capitalising my name" and nothing else. I was too busy working that by the time I got a chance to text back it felt too late to even bother. I told myself that she'll eventually figure it out why I didn't respond. I still haven't actually read that message so it's still showing up on her end as being unread. Also, a few days after that message to me, my dad was on to me saying "did you get a text from your sister? It's be nice to acknowledge it, blah blah"... me having to be the bad guy as always. I just tried to ignore him. When I met her next I congratulated her on the news in the bare minimum way without saying anything about being pissed at her.

    Guess what, I think now she's acting as if I'm not good with technology! She did it again recently in another message, to let me know about another whatsapp group that I've been added to... as if I didn't know! I don't plan on pulling her about it. In doing so I have to admit that I was pissed about it. And knowing her she'll just laugh to herself about the fact that it annoyed me. And just for context, both of these sisters haven't spoken to each other in 9 months after a big fight... I think they may never speak again!

    The joys of social media.
    I suppose it is better than fighting in the street. :)

    I just feel sorry for your dad, getting sucked into it all. He should put you all back in nappies until you grow up.
    Unfortunately, he cannot divorce his children, YET

    Please note, I have capitalized the important word. :D
