came online to calm down. haha, no. doesn't work that way apparently when one of the first things you see online is homophobic propaganda.
it's probably not healthy to obsessively despise relatives but I swear there have been times when I was literally preparing to murder my grandmother
if I were the one calling shots around here, she would have been shipped back to ny in a trunk. and yet she keeps looking to me like I can be convinced to help her with my 'evil' mom and aunt who 'wish to ruin her' by trying to get her to not squander her life.
i don't think she realizes exactly how much i despise her. i do not pity her. i have not even been able to view her as a human being in close to a decade. mom was finally recovering when that woman begged her to move in and help her. and then she drained her of every cent, bullied her at every turn, and when there was nothing left for mom to give her she started demonizing her to everyone who would listen just to try and guilt someone else into her slavery. my mom gave her everything she had and today she had the nerve to say to mom that it was her own tact with money that allowed us to move and stay off the streets for our years up north.
no. we were trapped in that house for ten years while she put household aesthetics ahead of living requirements. she made sure the counters had a pretty stonework topping while we had no fire alarms or central heating, in the northern-US winters. she forbade us from cooking up family-sized meals from the fridge because it was 'expensive' and 'wasteful' not to let her do all the cooking, while she would go out and purchase whole lobsters and boxes of steaks, with CASH, to cook up for herself only. she would blow off her money on shoes and patio furniture and a special second tempurpedic king mattress while the upstairs bathroom was in such a condition that mom and i couldn't bathe. mom ended up paying most of her damned bills just because she couldn't be bothered to put aside any money for dang water or electricity while she was so wrapped up spilling what little welfare gave her on petty bullcrap. no, grandma's 'financial expertise did not keep us off the street, and it sure as hell didn't help us move. it was my mom's bending over backwards non stop all those years that kept a roof over our head and we got to move because my slackass father finally miraculously caught up on years of missed payments he owed her. i really wish my mom hadn't helped her move down with us. she could have left her in that god-awful house in that skanky ass state to be foreclosed on and she would have dang deserved it for all the times she's made mom cry. my mother has been a dang saint to her all these years and she treats her like garbage in return. she claims to have disowned an old 'friend' for hurting my mom but i'm pretty sure it was for some other selfish reason, because she obviously doesn't mind hurting her herself.
she's been whining and sucking off mom and aunt at every chance since she got here, and they were going to help her by taking over her bills again and helping her with a savings account. but now that her divorced husband has died, she's getting more money and suddenly she doesn't need mom or my aunt anymore. she whines about how they want to take from her when they've been struggling to keep her living condition in tact for the last two years, in spite of her idiocy. the woman has recently dislocated her shoulder and the first thing she wants to do when she finds out she has money is repaint the rented house she's moving out of. she's whining about how she's in too much pain to even get into a vehicle but getting medical attention doesn't even cross her dang mind.
mom didn't have to help her move with us. it was mom's money and grandma had been abusing her for years. mom could have easily just left her up there. but she didn't. she gave her space in the moving van. she helped her set up a home down here. she drives her to the grocery store every week. she helps her out of bank complications. she tries to help her keep her Medicaid up to date. she buys her gifts for the holidays.
ironic how i'm the only one here who has ever intended her harm, and yet she treats mom and aunt like they're the enemy while they keep putting their own lives on hold to protect her. too bad her sleazy, manipulative personality prevents anyone from being able to protect her from her own blundering stupidity.
