Sister, Can we have a life without this crap? It just gets ridiculous even when we try to escape the effects of these people, family or not, they still try to keep the monotonous drama and hurt going. It's difficult enough we can't have them healthily in our lives, but they don't stop!!!! I'm calling on God to do something mightily!!! I'm just so sick of it and I know you are too!!! My sympathies to you and neice.
