Is it normal bringing up subjects that are hurtful that make people mad?

one of our family members does this constantly.They are older and should Know better. They find a sore spot and harp on it the whole time they visit. we have talked to them about it and they cry free speech and tough love.

Subjects they bring up during weddings holidays while we are eating and trying to eat a good time
roaches maggots
people being tortured murdered

someone knocking a milkshake over and them being yelled at and reminded of by this person the whole vacation.

bugging someone for a kurig back over and over during our 3 cousin's parents golden anniversary

someone's miscarriage

so and so wife leaving him

so and so getting canned from their job and how they are good for nothing. ( the person was in tears and they wouldn't stop)

    My mom's side of the family does this ALL the time, they are addicted to reciting horrible news, sometimes repeatedly! I'll tell them they've already told me the story and they keep going.

    I think they either A.) are addicted to the small amount attenton of being seemingly interesting for just a few moments while gossiping or B.) misery loves company.

    Either way it's annoying. I just change the subject or walk away.

    That's not nice. Sounds like this person has not life or thoughts of their own and thrives off of reactions like a troll. I like to mess with people but I know when to stop and I know where to draw the line. Some things are off limits to tease about.

    Maybe it's time to stop inviting this person?
