Jealous and envious family members: how many of us have them? (please read)

I have a few relatives who I’ve gotten bad vibes from for years. I don’t trust them and it doesn’t feel good being in their presence, however they pretend well even though I know deep down inside they have issues...

One relative in particular is a female cousin of mine...she’s always throwing unnecessary shade on Facebook about people living at home with their parents because I ended up moving back home after my breakup.

I found out she said some vile things about me behind my back and I’ve done nothing but try to be a cousin to her.

She says things like “people live at home with their parents shouldn’t be broke” and she does this often and it’s weird. This isn’t the first time she’s thrown shade my way, and I have a strong feeling it’s jealousy.

The funny thing is, I’m not broke. I’m employed and I also create and sell art for income. She has zero talent. She would pay someone else to do the same thing she could’ve paid me for, but instead expect it for free from me.

She has a bad relationship with her mother, her father wasn’t in her life, and I believe she’s envious of the relationship I have with my parents.

She has 3 children by 3 different men.
I don’t have any children (by choice).

She’s always telling personal business that was confided in her.

What’s weird about it is that she pretends like she doesn’t do any of this. She thinks I don’t know she’s a phony.

Moral of the story, it’s not always “friends” we have to worry about, it’s those closest to us that’ll do us the worst. It will be your own family to envy you...I stopped trying to understand.

My paternal aunts are the worst. They are jealous and hungry for money. My grandparents are rich with land of their own and my aunt's thought all of the assets goes to them including the ancestral home. But when my father, the sole male of the family, was born, their dreams shattered. My father became the next owner of the house. Eventhough they had enough wealth written for them in the will by my grandparents, my aunts wanted more. As per traditions, they knew some of land also goes to the grandchildren aka me and my siblings and also to my mother. So they decided to ruin our family. It was easy for them because my father is already a broken man. They told him lies to sabotage our relationship with him which led him to stop going to work, sell everything that belonged to us and use up all the money till we have nothing. Luckily my mother approached a lawyer before he could give away anymore money and make him to pass the remaining assets to us. Since the money he spend away was my mother's, we had to separate some of our earnings for my mother.

In the end, the aunts's plan didn't work out fully because the house still goes to my brother after my father's passing, thanks to my parent's divorce conditions. But they succeeded in destroying our family.

Sounds like my Mom's best friend though would do that kind of stuff

I agree with you and have to put up with someone like that.

Sons against father. Daughters against mothers. It's the signs of the times man. 🙂
