My paternal grandmother is seriously the worst person I've ever had the displeasure of being around. Unfortunately, she's lived with us all my life and
it's been such a wretched experience for all of my family.
Some of the highlights of our relationship: She would hang up when my friends would call the house, she would get angry at me for knocking on the door to my house (I was young and my parents hadn't given me a key yet), says evil things about my mom and dad constantly (who have been the only people to put up with her shit), constantly says this country is crap and that she wants to go back to Cuba (
) even though she has Medicare and receives money from the
government, would talk crap about me on the phone and by herself (psycho, I know) while I was asleep so I would hear it, talks to me only when she needs a
ride/favor, has never gotten me a birthday/christmas present and many other things that I've probably blocked out.
I just had another wonderful encounter with her and I needed to vent. She has zero redeeming qualities and I feel bad for disliking her so much since she's "family" but she's given me no choice, really. My parents are fed up with her as well, but she has nowhere to go (my dad has 4 sisters, but they're all having money issues and live in tiny apartments/studios). Even if they didn't, I doubt they would take her off my parents' hands. It's too convenient leaving her here.
