[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 375389, member: 3444"] This is the sister in law who I'm pretty sure has bipolar and quite possibly a personality disorder but is not really getting any treatment (except for maybe Wellbutrin) and certainly not any therapy (because there's nothing wrong with her). She has more baggage than a Samsonite salesman, and is more toxic than Love Canal, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl combined. Yes it is sad my kids had to witness the drama, but they are all very aware now of her issues and fully understanding of why I don't like to be around her. I tell them that she's still their aunt, and they still need to treat her respectfully, but that's as far as their obligation goes. I had a very nice day with my mom that day. We walked the two miles to the pier at the beach and had a late lunch. Visited the surf museum and shared stories of locals we've known with the curator. Then we walked back to her house and my brother met us a little later and we took her to dinner. It was probably the first time in decades that just the three of us were together and we had some good laughs and shared some fond memories. I told her the next day what I learned from the kids about sister in law#3, and she burst out LAUGHING! Not the reaction I expected, but I suppose that the comment was just so out-there and ridiculous that she couldn't help but laugh. I guess since I'm considered part of husband's family that I took it more personally. At least I won't have to see sister in law#3 until the holidays, and if I plan things right, I might be able to push it out until Christmas!:winks: [/QUOTE]
