Yeah, my mother-in-laws sister is the same way with her. She doesn't believe bipolar is a real problem and that it's fake, and my mother-in-law is just lazy, which isn't true. It's also all about the money. They barely ever talk and only do so out of necessity. It's terrible and sad. But, some people are just that way.
I agree if it was money in the bank they would be back. It's sickening. I hate money, I believe it is the root of all evil, sadly.
