^^^Please read before you answer this question^^^
My aunt has left for the week to go visit my mom, Before she left, her, my grandmother, and I had sat down and resolved some matters. It was okay for a while. I was with my father Friday and Saturday, and when I came back to my grandmother's house on Saturday night, it was back to the way it was before. She thinks that since my aunt is not here she can treat me like c**p again. I think she has problems though. A control problem, and an attention problem.
1. As soon as I walked in on Saturday night she was extremely nasty to me, she was insulting and just plain mean.
2. She acts very immature, and does things that do not fit the situation.
3. She wants attention, and it is obvious, she will huff and puff and do and say things so that you will pay attention to her, and if you don't, even for one second she gets mad.
4. She does not liked to be questioned. She doe not, will not, and blatantly refuses to answer me. If I ask her 'why?' her reply is 'Why is a crooked letter!' She just refuses to answer me.
5. She refuses to admit that she is wrong. She does many weird things to save money, which actually end up costing more money in the end. (example: she refuses to store food in Tupperware. she will, instead just put them in old jars, or, if it is something like a half used vegetable or fruit, she will just place it in the refrigerator, even garlic and onions, which make it smell. She doesn't want to waste money on proper containers-- We bought her like an gazillion containers, and she Is wasting money because they aren't being used, and we have to keep throwing out the food.)
6. She is stubborn. She wants things done her way, even if another way is proven to be better.
AND THE WORST OF ALL
7. She wants to be in control. She does everything in her power to have power. This comes down even to the dogs. That is what I have the most problem with, because my dog had a problem recently and it is very hard for her to walk, and she keeps falling up and down the stairs, this can potentially hurt her even more. So, I let her (and my grandma‘s dog) stay down stairs if they want to, and if they want to come up I help (even carry mine (who is 40 lbs)) them up the stairs. My grandma wants them to be with her constantly though, so that she can monitor what they are doing. This means that she makes my dog come up and down the steps when she is in pain! And could injure herself more. But my grandma refuses to see that. Also she forces her dog to eat. She spoon feeds her!!!!! She claims it is because the dog was sick when she was younger.. Her dog was sick for a week.. Mine was in the hospital for months with DIC and almost died and she eats like a normal dog. My grandmother does this with everybody though, even her grown adult children.
Please tell me how I can help her or at least deal with her antics.
