My youngest niece called this afternoon. Too much drama with the family out west which is why we don't get involved with them. But she's dealing with stupidity from her dad (my late sister's husband) who has always been a walking disaster. My niece is incredibly passive and puts up with nonsense she shouldn't have to. She needs to ask her older siblings for help reigning their dad in. He's dealing with some form of dementia and refuses to go to the the doctor but my niece isn't telling her siblings how difficult things have become. They're living in a small house she owns and but he runs roughshod over her and is emotionally abusive. Maybe he needs to move to a dementia care facility. They live in a small town that she's unhappy in. She wants to sell the house and get an apartment in the major city an hour away, but he's very manipulative. Not good. My sisters and I here on the east coast have no energy for the drama and are just focusing on our lives. But it's a shame though.
