She is quite dramatic and co-dependant. She lives with my husband and I because of her financial issues. She helps watch my 8 year old as she is reasonably healthy. We are grateful for her help but her negativity and gossip is very draining. She is a very righteous woman of 73.
My mother is a very negative person most of the time who rarely has too much nice to say about people, especially women. I just tune her out or leave the room when it gets to be too much. The negativity will certainly wear on you.
