I argue with my grandmother!
Hello-
I was looking for help to a situation that over the last 8-10 months has gotten progressivley worse. I am a 27 yr old male that recently moved back to Michigan from Colorado.
Fastforwad to April 2015. My grandmother talked me into coming back home to stay with her and finding employment. In that time since our relatinship has went completely south. She has shown how money hungry she is. She contantly has gotten into it with me and my cousin (her granddaughter) about money. She complains of never having money and is always stressed about it.
Since being back, I have done more than my fair share of paying bills and helping her because it is what Im supposed to do. Still, it isnt enough. We have argued time, and time again over petty change. She pocket watches me and has asked me for money to even buy a laptop when I was unemployed for 4 months and I recieved a little back unemployment check after I found a job. She complains about bills daily and anything regarding money.
She is also a compulsive liar and manipulates my family into thinking that her kids and grandkids are disrespectful to her and never does anything for her. She always plays the victim. She gets disability and is on food stamps and had had people do homecare scams so that she can pay her side bills. She also lives beyond her means based on income. She has torn our family apart and my father and aunt keep their distance from because of her drama and lies. I'm frustrated.I have gotten disrespectful in the past. She brings out the worst in me. I ave gotten so angry and said things to her that I regret. I try to be better but she continues her drama on a daily basis and I just cant take anymore. Im moving as soon as I pay off a lawyer fee for my drivers license, but I also want to fix our relatinship. We have talked time and time again and she always does the same thing.
What can I do to help this situation? I could continue this forever.
