Have you ever known anyone personally that writes life stories & gets things wrong about every other paragraph?

@DeWayfarer Well here is something else. She went back to our old farm about 15 years ago that we hadn’t lived on since the mid-60’s, took a few photos, the house had been razed, the old barn collapsed, the dairy barn, chicken house, smokehouse also gone. She took a photo of the cellar & handed it to me telling me it was our old cellar. I looked at it and told her our cellar had a round cement roof on top of it....not a peaked wood roof, and this is a new cellar someone built. The old cellar was not in that good of shape, I remember little grains of sand falling on us when we had to go in it to hide from storms....and that it probably ended up collapsing. She just got a confused look on her face and says “I thought it was the old cellar”. I remember sitting on top of the rounded cement top and cracking black walnuts with a rock.

@cherokeepatti Just saying I would welcome anyone checking and saying something, especially if it's a relative. That is not the case on ancestry.com for me.

Perhaps saying something might be welcomed? Of course try to be nice about it. 😊

@DeWayfarer If I confront her lying self it won’t be nice. She has gaslit me in real life so many times I am fed up with her. The last time in 2014 I was helping her nearly every day for over a year and wouldn’t go along with her little scheme to take her to the casino to play Texas Hold Em Poker and it made her mad and she gaslit me to relatives. I stopped helping her right then and there.

@DeWayfarer I have something that she “wrote” in high school. She was in an honors English class & got an A+ on it, a poem that she plagiarized from a book. The poem was written before she was even born. If she actually publishes a book she’ll be exposed. Plus for other things she’s supposedly attributed to herself or done that is false.

There was no internet when she was in high school so no easy way for the teacher to check it. But I had my suspicions about it because it was written from a man’s point of view. She was so proud of “writing” that poem that she bragged about it on Facebook but said she lost the paper she wrote it on. She gave it to a relative who gave it to me.

@cherokeepatti I don't know what to say. I have had my own family problems. Yet not of this type. Accusations have been made, wrongly I might add, yet mostly around religion. Those accusations were the end of it! I won't stand to put up with that type of thing. So I isolated myself from them. Better to live without that kind of angst, than to put up with it. For fourteen years now I have not had one communication from anyone. Not even after my eldest half-sisters death some five years ago. I learned of it through a death certificate from ancestry.com as well.

@DeWayfarer In the same situation. I had good relationships with her children & they don’t even reach out. I think she has gaslighted me badly for over 5 years....and they know what she is like. The stress of dealing with her toxic energy made me cut all ties with her, but her children are different.
