Mother and her Behaviour

Lately mom has been lashing out and saying nasty things in a most heated manner about R (my youngest brother) and G (R's wife, my sister-in-law)... My husband and I just bite our tongues... If we say something it will be in defense of R and G...

Again, my mom doesn't think it's anything that she has done that is stopping R from talking to her...

She thinks it is all G's doing.

She thinks G is like my old boyfriend who wouldn't let me see my own family. G isn't like that at all.

R is the one who doesn't want to see my parents. G was just the person he needed to help him see what they are really like...

By the way my mother does/did have a spot of cancer which she told us about by yanking down the front of her shirt between her breasts...  Quite appropriate when you have your mother over and everyone is in the livingroom including your husband and your middle brother.  I am fairly certain it is the slowest kind possible, the safest and easiest to dispose of: Basal Cell Carcinoma.  She applied cream to it while she was on vacation. She can't have been that badly affected by cancer, because who in their right mind would go to Florida for 2 weeks and apply cream to this skin condition if it was serious???  My husband had two large chunks of this type of cancer removed from his back.  It was very painful as it had been left for a long time and a few layers had to be removed.  My mom's looked like just a fingernail-sized.  His were larger and more advanced.

Also who in their right mind would go to Florida when they are trying to sell a house, and trying to flip another house?

I called my mom after I passed my Max/TV training with an 86% and she didn't even make a peep about what a good job I did. Instead she bemoaned the fact that her renters were leaving, the guy who was doing the renovations on the house they were flipping was dragging his feet and apparently threatening them...

I said to her, she didn't have to put up with that, but apparently she does because they are so 'frugal' they won't pay someone proper money to not piss around and not work on other projects...

And of course I am sure everything my mother says is sane and comes across like a perfectly normal person and that's why everyone treats her like dirt and makes her life hell.

And a perfectly normal person wouldn't try to tie their shoes on someone's leather couch, right?

*sigh*

This painting took me almost a year to complete... Not so much because I took a long time painting it, but because other things were going on... I kept hearing it everyday calling to me, but I couldn't attend to the poor thing. I am so relieved I have completed it now...
