i love my grandmother because she has raised me like her child since my mom left. my dad was too young to take care of me at the time, and by the time he felt ready, i was nine and too attached to my grandmother to leave. at nine years old, i was also too young to realize that she was already manipulating me and everyone around me.
now that i'm older, i can't stand to be around her. like i said, i love her to death, but she is extremely negative. all she does is talk badly about people in our family. she's pugnacious and constantly
"offended" by whatever i say. she starts fights for no reason. she lies about the tiniest (and biggest) things, and when i call her out on it, she screams that i'm accusing her of being a liar and starts to cry. when i try to avoid her because i'm in a bad mood, she does all but follow me around the house, provoking me. she borrows money off of me (her seventeen year old granddaughter) and never pays me back.
i can't stand this any more. we argue every single day because she just won't let me alone. i have no where to go. i'm saving up to move out when i'm eighteen, but until then, what can i do to keep myself from going crazy?
