Sour SIL

I have spent the last few months dealing with a sour SIL. Some days I can stomach the sour puss and some days I want to strangle her and put her out of her misery. I am usually a nice person. I usually would never let anyone know that I do not like them, BUT I am almost to the point of loosing it with this person. I absolutely refuse to go to her house. I will not let my children spend any time alone with her and the holiday season is fast approaching. What am I to do? We recently had a funeral that required the whole family to be together for more than a few days. The day of the funeral I had just had enough of the sour puss poisoning everyone. I had to make an emergency phone call to my sister. I needed to vent before I blew up at my hubby. He was in no shape emotionally to deal with my crazy ranting about his totally out of line sister. The minute our car left the driveway to carry us back home I could hear her poisoning all the remaining family members. I have decided that she is so unhappy with her own life that she is hell bent on making the whole family believe that I am the worst person on the face of the earth. The family lets her continue on because "that is the way she is", but if I speak my mind about anything then I am out of line. Since moving out here I have noticed a big change in her demeanor. Her days are now spent sitting on her back deck slumped in a chair,smoking and complaining about how broke they are and how fat she feels she is becoming. I know that this has become kind of a rant rather than a blog entry, but I just needed to get it off my chest. I don't know how I am going to make it through the holidays. I am hoping that I will not bite my tongue off!!!! Stay tuned.
