You know I thought of the aspergers or bipolar thing myself while reading the original post. Having said that I still wouldn't have put up with her "opinions" without saying something.

She might have a mental issue, or she might just be a brat!

As I said before The apple does not fall far from the tree. Just be glad you don't have to their family reunion.

I have an ex-husband that is a self-proclaimed expert on everything. After 9 months of him trying to teach me, (planting gradens, re-pot plants, cooking, cleaning, etc...) HE gave up. I asked him to go on down the road. (He had a nursing license but could not find work that he was willing to drive too. I lived in the country about 50 miles to big city.) I love to learn things I do not know but "re-potting plants! I had been gardening for 35 yrs and they have grown just fine.

That's what I was thinking. She will be repeatedly disappointed and unable to see that she's the common denominator in her experiences. That really is the definition of tragedy.

I know that she was rude and crude. Did anyone think about praying for this young lady? Prayer can change alot of people and alot of things. She sounds like she really needs prayer in her life.

I am still shocked at the first post, now following it up, I am equally shocked. Sadly this poor thing has no clue, I just hope she enjoys all her Wal Mart quilts. I am certain the cousin will never make her one : )

Did the cousin get her ugly self back to Florida of her own will, or was she run out of town? I can just imagine her being escorted (by motorcade) to the airport, by the authorities, and being told never to return!.....well heck, it is fun to imagine sometimes! I am so glad you stood up to her rudeness and spoke your mind. She can talk it up all she wants to, but one thing she learned on this trip, is that she can't come into your home and insult you..............and that is a good thing!

This situation mirrors our son's previous marriage to a tee!!!
A more miserable person I have never known, and one who makes everyone else miserable around her. She comes from a family that has the same characteristics. I wonder if it is an inherited mental illness.
Anyway our family is much happier without her and our grown grandchildren seem to come to us when they need love and guidance. At least that is rewarding!!

Sure gives special meaning to - you can pick your friends, but not your relatives...
