I have an Aunt that would make a good weapon of war. She is the meanest, most hateful person I have ever met in my life. She was actually thrown out of a funeral for upsetting the family of the deceased. Her nick name is Mad Dog Mutt. Well deserved. The problem is I am expected to have her in my home and be cordial to her. That is not possible. You cannot be cordial to her. She bites. When I do not invite her to family occasions I get a backlash of critical remarks from other members of the family. If I do invite her she makes everyone miserable. For some reason they seem to accept the fact that she is this way and think everyone should tolerate her nasty hateful behavior. How do you get them to understand that you love her but cannot tolerate her?

You have choices... First off I would ask if she has mental or emotional issues, If the answer is 'yes' I suppose I would invite her and do the best I could. If the answer is 'no', I'd say 'no'and *ell no' If the rest of the family doesn't understand, tell them to invite her to their house and you'll go elsewhere or enjoy the peace and quiet of your own home. No one should be made to be miserable in their own home.. Hey ! Blame it on your husband... Or........................................................... Take her to a snake handling meeting and let her bite the snakes. That'll show 'em.

When it comes to relatives (including in-laws) you're stuck with what you've got. Unless you are in actual physical danger, pretend she thinks the world of you. It's not a lie unless you know otherwise for a fact. And, in that case tell the others she hates your "intestinal fortitude."

No she goes for the jugular, like " Hey Mike your girlfriend told me you have a little dick." Of course in front of everyone. I told Mike well maybe you don't have a little dick maybe she has a big $#&*. God it was embarrassing. To say the least.

I have given up on relationships with my family, they are the biggest bunch of weirdo's in the world. Both sides. You can't choose your family but thank God you can choose your friends.

Lots of us have relatives from Hell. Extended Families are like that. Dysfunctional. I read about extended families filled with people who love each other, but IMO they are the exception, not the rule. My Dad and his brother, for example, never got along. My wife has no siblings. My brother (my only sibling) and I are not close, but we are at least cordial.

My brother (my only sibling) and I are not close, but we are at least cordial. I've heard of families whose members have gone years, decades without speaking. Some have been so long that the basis for the original argument has long been forgotten That just sounds crazy to me.I have no siblings, although I have dozens of cousins around my age. I would be lost without them. Outside of my immediate family, husband, daughter, and granddaughter, they are my support system since losing both my parents. I value each and every one. Sure, we all have our quirks, but they are OUR quirks..

The story I was told by my grandmother, back around 1950, when I was young;
My great-great-grandfather had a brother, with whom he had an argument. They lived in the same small town, in Eastern NC, for all their lives, and after that argument, never spoke to each other again, and when they encountered each other, walked on the other side of the street. When my great-great-grand-father died, his brother slipped into the back of the church during the funeral, and left quickly afterwards, not saying a word to anyone. This funeral must have been around 1910-1920, by my best guess...I don't know for sure.
My Dad and his brother never got along.
