Trust me when I say I try to get away from her (an other negative family members) but some how they won't leave me alone. I will admit that I'm a fiesty woman and there are times when I let their comments go and times when i need to let some of my relatives' little nasty comment go but I don't. Instead I let them know where, when and how to get off, after all I have my pride and there is only so much I can take. I figure if I live far away there is no way that they can get me caught up in the drama but lo and behold my name is brought up in some mess. I think my grandmother is worse of all because she is so sneaky about it, my other relatives (aunts mainly) will at least say something to my face.
My grandmother doesn't make me nervous when I'm around her, she makes me angry. She will say something to make me want to go off (like how I should be glad that she brought us to america or some other random nonsense like that). She is not close to any of her children and my mum holds a firm belief that my grandmother doesn't like her. Their relationship (if you want to call it that) is very strained. I thank God daily that my mother is not like my grandmother, and that our relationship is as strong as it is.

Sometimes, we have to learn how to let go of extremely manipulative people who we are "suppose" to love... That is one of the toughest things to do, but I know there is a way to do it and deal with those kind of people.
From what I am reading, I am intepreting that she is making you a nervous wreck when you are around her... Correct me if I am wrong...
