I agree with others that you can't expect others to support your investing activities if it's outside their experience. If they're not able to support you, then just don't discuss it with them.
Defriending your mother on facebook sounds really emotionally immature. I can't believe that your mother is bombarding your wall, initiating discussion about your investment properties, that just doesn't sound believable. Therefore, either you're discussing IPs a lot on facebook - which seems inappropriate in any circumstances, unless you're participating in a facebook-based IP forum - or you're over-reacting to, say, PMs from your Mum talking about your IPs.
If your Mum doesn't support you, then the answer is to talk to her like an adult and say that you're comfortable with your investing strategy, and that if she isn't able to support you, then you'd prefer to just avoid that topic in future.
Talking about IPs should be such a tiny element of your relationship with your parents that this is a near-zero-impact compromise, and leaves the remaining 99%+ of your relationship with your parents intact.
