Uncooperative/hostile to family tree!

Uncooperative/hostile to family tree!

Wasn't sure where to put this, since it's not a query but just something I find astounding! Does anyone else have a family that is uncooperative w/ information and/or hostile to the whole idea of the family history? I'm still reeling from 2 different attacks by extended family members who are upset about facts, nothing controversial, but facts just the same. I never share any info about living people and mark those people as private. One person is offended that I did not include a family member, but included someone else. Well the first person is alive and is included as "private" the second person is dead so is named Ugh! Oh the drama! I got so frustrated I finally made my tree private, I am only doing this for my children anyway, not for aunts and uncles and grandparents who apparently have some big dark family secret to hide by the way they are acting! Just wondering if anyone else is having to deal w/ this ridiculousness!

Had a family member who "ripped" the pages out of family genealogy because of a first marriage! I keep those marriages without children private, for me only, since then! FYI, wasn't my research!

Also, had a birth which resulted in adoption. Boy, I was torn a new hole just by bringing it up! It was from the 1950's. I know out of wedlock births were so hush, hush then! Wish I had the info, I have a cousin out there!
