It's possible something like that is starting. She is so confrontational, getting into it with anyone and every one, people in stores and restaurants. I worry about her driving around town.

She's having physical health problems, so she's also really cranky because she's in pain.

But she won't let anyone help her. It's like she wants to do too much, like she wants to fight. She says the stress is killing her, but she brings it all on herself.

She is a master manipulator, and now her behavior is so self-centered and immature. I wish I could deal with her better.

If only I didn't have the problems that I bring on myself! I had been so depressed for the past few months, I could hardly get out of bed.

I'm sitting here eating myself up over this, while she ended up talking another family member into giving her money. After she moved on from the pointless fight with me, she told the whole family she had run out of money. So instead of changing her spending and making her situation better- she got bailed out.

Sounds like a person with a pretty sharp mind to me...
