I have an great-aunt (by marriage) that is a EGGSHELL. She is very unhappy about many many things. Her child committed suicide (about 30 years ago upon returning from Vietnam). She is still dealing with his death on a daily basis. I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HER PAIN in that area.
It is the other things:
She lived in our family home for 50+ years with my uncle (it was my greatgrandmother's home) When my uncle died she wanted to move. We (our entire family tied to get her to stay). She said we wanted her to be miserable--alone with all of those sad memories.
She has now moved and she tell everyone that my family MADE her LEAVE after living there 50+ years!
Then there are the stories of how everyone has done her wrong:
She goes on and on about how people made fun of her because she wore corrective shoes (in high school)
or
How my great grandmother hurt her feelings when she was dating uncle (mind you this was 50+ years ago)
and if you send her flowers it hurts her feelings because it reminds her of funerals--butif you don't send her flowers then she says no one cares
Whew!!
