Has anybody had any problems with Facebook, regarding adding a specific recipient to receive your posts, but the recipient says they didn't/can't see the post?

A few days ago, I had some serious news to share with select friends and family on Facebook. I always use that little gear button to send posts to “specific people” rather than to everyone in my list. 3 of my cousins are always included on my list of recipients, and I check it every single time.

One of my cousins, because of alphabetization, is always the first one on the list of recipients so it’s easy to see that she is listed.

Her sister PM’d me this morning to say that this cousin was very upset and concerned that I’d omitted her from the post, and thought that I didn’t want her to know my news. I checked both of the postings (I sent 2 about the same subject) and the concerned cousin, along with the other 2, were all listed as recipients. I always send all of my posts to all 3 of these cousins.

The main reason that my cousin was probably so upset, is that my news concerned something that is a very serious issue for her too, something that we share in common, so I can understand why she was upset.

Anyway, I wrote PM’s to both of these cousins (who are sisters) explaining that I checked the posts and all of them are listed as recipients to both of the postings about this particular subject, and then I cut and pasted the text into a PM to the cousin who is so upset. This just happened a few minutes ago, so I have not yet heard back from either of them. I’m sure they’ll understand.

I also sent these same posts to 2 close friends and have not heard a word from either one of them (which is not like them, considering the seriousness of the subject matter). So I figure that it must just be a Facebook glitch, even though I can clearly see all of their names in my recipients list.

Have any of you ever experienced this situation? I noticed last week that I posted a bunch of funny interesting things to some friends and relatives and got no “likes” and no comments at all on about 10 postings, which is unusual. I checked the recipients names on those posts and they’re all visible to me, on my end, but I suspect that they’re not getting through to the recipients.

Any ideas?

P.S. To those of you are/were concerned about me, I’m doing fine now, thanks for all the good wishes.
