Can't Escape A's...

Ended up telling my drunk neighbour off last night, he keeps knocking on my door and talking to me when drunk, he's old, he stinks and he spits when talking and staggers around. I've ignored it for months, tried ignoring the door but if he knows we're in he shouts through the letter box. I answered the door last night and told him quite firmly that I was sick of him knocking and giving me advice I never asked for when he's drunk and to not speak to me again when he's been drinking.

Hopefully that's that one sorted but I'm now having a problem with my Aunt...

So my Aunt is an A, hides it badly and is in denial. She's one of those types of people who has to put on a huge front, tells lies about things she doesn't need to lie about. Recently split with her long term partner, we found out she was attacking him when drunk...she used to do the drunken texts and calls at all hours of the morning until we all started turning our phones off and she got the hint.

I used to be close with her when I was a teen, she was the "cool" aunt, always partying. I've now grown up and she's still partying expect she's in her mid 40's and it's now not so cool any more, it's pretty sad sometimes.

Most of our side of the family avoid her because she's really hard work to be around, she's just very false.

She's now got herself a laptop and joined Facebook and "found us". She's added me, my daughter, my sis in law and won't leave us alone. She's commenting on everything I say or my daughter says but they're really embarrassing comments, speaking to us like we're kids, saying strange things that make no sense or being overly affectionate in a "cringe" kind of way.
She left a drunken message for my Mum on MY photo album about our family dynamic that made no sense at all...4am, definitely drunk, I deleted it, in fact I've deleted most of them now.

It's driving us nuts, especially as she's writing on my daughters profile too and embarrassing her in front of her friends. I told my daughter to just ignore or delete her comments so that's what we've both been doing but now last night at 3.30am she mailed my D and said "dya know what DD I mail you on facebook and you don't reply its rude a".

I replied to her from my D's profile and told her that D didn't have to reply to every message she got, that she was a kid and the Aunt shouldn't take offence".

I wanted to flip and tell her where to go but didn't want to cause trouble between the family but I'm biting my tongue tooooo much.

How would you handle this? I don't want to upset the Aunt BUT I won't have her mailing my D when drunk leaving her messages like that and annoying us both. Argh!!
