It's Obviously Not True

There are a few things that stick in my head that my mom taught me growing up and one of them that stands out the most is how my aunt lies to hear herself talk. Not only does she lie all the time, but she puts words in your mouth as well. Now, I know...I should be used to this by now, I've been dealing with this for 31 years...but this time she's gone too far! My cousin that has just turned 17yo has had a baby and I have not had the opportunity to meet this baby yet. My sister said to me "you act like you don't care about her" and I replied back to her " it's not that, I do care for her and love her and if she ever needs anything I will help out, but I am not getting attached to this baby b/c of the drama that our aunt starts". And as anyone who know's my aunt could have guessed, the drama had begun before the baby had even arrived. Now that this little angel is here, there is only more drama following. My aunt, and I use the word "aunt" loosely here, has started drama....putting words into my mouth that I never said and also adding my little 10yo cousin into this. I know that I shouldn't get upset b/c afterall it did come out of my "aunts" mouth, but I can't help but be upset about it! Isn't there an age when all the drama and lies stop?! She is 35yo and seems to only be getting worse with the lies, drama and putting words into peoples mouth. So, now that my uncle and his wife have had enough of this "aunt" and so have I, we have decided to enjoy the holidays together and without the "aunt" and her family. It's terrible that our family has been divided like this, but my "aunt" has made it this way. Maybe one day she will see what she has caused and how it was so easily avoided...simply stop making up stories and putting words into peoples mouths. I feel for my little 2nd cousin that is just an infant and can't get away from that mess!
