[Aunt Donna]

Does anyone have that one person you can't get along with no matter how hard you try? You know the one who is never at fault and it is always "poor me" and you are picking on me. I meet this person about 22 years ago. She feels like women are picking on her and she flirts with men unmercifully. I have tried to be friendly to her but she absolutely gets on my last nerve. Some of my friends knew her growing up and said she has always been that way. This is the kicker, my husband's younger brother married her for the second time Monday. They fought constantly before they married before and during. During the time they were getting divorced and the judge ordered him to give her half of his retirement, he found out that they weren't legally married because she hadn't divorced her first husband. This summer she moved in with him and they fought constantly. She moved out and they argued over who got what. My husband received several phone calls asking his advice at all times of the day and night. Afterward, my brother-in-law decided he wanted to marry his son's mother, but she had to divorce her husband and get out of prison (again) first. She stayed for a couple of months and then left. The day she left, my brother-in-law calls Miss Annoying and tells her he wants her back. Needless to say, she came back. It is just a matter of time before the fighting starts again. I told my husband I am staying away from them. Thanks for reading my rant.

Hello Donna,

What a confusing and complicated mess. I'm really surprised the judge made him pay her when she was a bigamist. How messy and upsetting this must be for you.

I don't blame you for wanting to keep a distance, I think I would too

Oh, wow, faylowell! Sounds like a circus. I didn't know whether I had more trouble with your brother-in-law or the woman you don't like or your nephew's mother!

Good luck staying away, those kind of people seem able to somehow insinuate their way into one's lives, kind of like burrs with their little hooks that won't let go of your socks?

At least you can throw away the socks.

For the record, my husband's older brother (my husband is the middle child of three boys) and his family agree with me and are staying away. We are all concerned about our nephew who is three. My husband is keeping check on him and we make sure he gets what he needs no matter what kind of stupid decisions his father makes. If things take a turn for the worst, (my brother-in-law has spent time in jail before) my husband and I will bring our nephew into our home. My sister (who isn't related to the child) said she would help with him. He has been to her house to visit and loves being there and they love for him to be there. (My sister's in-laws live near my brother-in-law).
