Humm, cool story . .

It's all gone quiet. Are you ok, Elinore?

Elinore

All good! - it's quiet at the moment. I am aware that Aunty was very very unhappy that my boss wrote back with a 'sling your hook' letter and i have been told shes scheming

That being said i don't like to invite drama so i try to dodge the subject where possible.

she is from the revenge is best served cold club - so im sure it will come....in time

Glad to hear there is quiet for now. However, so as not to invite drama further down the line, I'd still be issuing a 'cease and desist' letter to her to prevent future slander/libel.

That can be stressful - never knowing when the next attack will happen.

Elinore

Well, I was rather surprised at the Aunties new plan of attack it seems a bit anticlimactic.

She has been putting pressure on my Grandma to do two things, One denounce me to the family and Two, remove me from her will.

1. Is a bit tricky
2. I couldn't care less about and frankly wasn't aware i was IN her will.

I think the reason it's anticlimactic is Auntie is money obsessed so being written out of the will would be, totally the Worst.Thing.Ever.

She seems to think shes landed a killing blow and I'm all.........and?

Are you close to your Grandma? Is it reasonable to speak to her, explain that you're obviously not upset in any way with her and that you totally understand that you are both being placed in a difficult position and that you don't want to fall out with her? Auntie obviously thinks you will panic etc so why not take the wind out of her sails by being uber reasonable and calm about it all?

Why is #1 tricky?
What is there to 'denounce'?
Why are you even bothered about these people?

Elinore

Tricky in:

It makes the drama involve the wider family rather than just between Aunty and me.

If she gets her way my mother will likely be told not to speak to me (I can live with this)

Some of my aunts are really nice and I am close to a few of my cousins (one or two stop here when visiting London)

ps My lovely lodger has moved out - but I'm keeping this to myself (even to the point of lying to my mother!)

So what.

If your Mother is as bad as you've painted her in previous threads, that's no great loss.
As you've admitted yourself.

If they believe someone else over you, no great loss.

That's nobody's business but yours.
Why would you need to share that information with your Mother?

You're just playing their games.
