people who do things just to hurt you?
Posted: Jul 29, 2013
I have an aunt who is pure evil. She's been married and divorced, and now she's alone and bitter towards men and everyone. I'm happily married and so is everyone in my extended family. She tries to do things to hurt me (which work, I am upset and hurt right now), with no provocation. Before my mother died, my mother told me to "watch out for her" because when you're growing up, you don't see the evil in adults.
I see it now. There are two young members of the family, both age 6, whom have birthdays in June. Last year, I inadvertently sent a text to my uncle saying I saw him on his motorcycle. He told me, that's impossible, I am at Jessie's birthday party. So I get upset, cry, send out texts to everyone who was at the birthday party asking them, why I wasn't informed? It hurt me deeply not to be included as I thought we had mended fences after my mother's death. I was told my aunt just forgot, she has a lot on her mind, and sorry. So, she invites everyone but me? In addition, we had a conversation two days earlier about their birthdays, so she didn't think to tell me she was having a party? I didn't buy it. (she had told everyone she had invited me ((lied)) so they assumed I just could not go).
I wasn't invited again this year. I didn't get as upset because I don't think it's an accident. I went to another aunt's birthday party yesterday (at the evil aunt's house), and to rub it in my face, the evil aunt said to the 6 year old Jessie "these candles aren't as bad as yours at your birthday this year." Also, there was a birthday card for my uncle (who wasn't there) from the evil aunt sitting on display on a table. Why have a birthday card for someone else, from her, displayed on her countertop, someone who wasn't even there, nor whom she sees on a regular basis? (She didn't send me a birthday card this year, although I sent her one).
She does these little subtle jabs just to hurt me. I think it thrills her. Right after my mother died, instead of being a loving aunt, she verbally attacked me for "not doing enough work" to help with the arrangements. My mother died of a drug overdose, and I went into a deep depression and she attacks me at the worst time. I'm an only child and had no idea what to do, on top of being emotionally gone. So I cut off family ties with them. We were supposed to be mending things last year, but nothing has changed. She's still a witch. There's much more, but I will leave it there.
Anyone else have purely evil people in their life?;

I do and unfortunately it's my mother. We just had it out on Saturday. I did something she claimed hurt her feelings and really was just a misunderstanding but instead of telling me I hurt her feelings I get screamed at that I'm the most selfish person she's ever know. She's only been telling me this and every other hurtful thing all my life. I had to sit her down and explain to her that even if someone hurts your feelings, especially if it's accidental, you tell the person that. You don't decide to purposely hurt someone who accidentally hurt you. I've had to be the emotional parent for YEARS. She has acted like a child and very self-absorbed all my life. I finally told her get help or knock it off on Saturday. I told her if she doesn't I'm moving with my youngest and it will be the last she'll see of us. I'm tired and I just won't deal with this anymore. She also portrays the "perfect, sweet person" around everyone else and most people have no idea she's like this or believe that she acts like this. Most think I'm lying. I understand your situation and everyone's different, but I've decided I'm done with it.
We must be related!!! - You are describing my mother

Yup, NOBODY ever believes me. She is soooo sweet and soooo nice . . . they just think I'm a Bad Seed.
Sigh.

I have evil in-laws really and I have realized that the very best thing to do is just IGNORE them and take yourself out of the situation. If you get invited to things that your aunt will be attending, don't go and don't say you're not going because of her, say something like "Oh I would, but I have had a cruise scheduled for months, I must do that" or just ANYTHING to make it look like your life is grand and you just don't have time for them. Some people will say, No, be honest about your feelings, but when you are dealing with straight evil, that's not going to work and YOU are the one who gets hurts.
When dealing with those types of people, once they realize they cannot fuel your fire and you could care less, they will stop. I wouldn't even be surprised if she reached out to YOU once she sees she is not an issue to you and I AGAIN would say something to her like "It's nothing personal, but my life is just so busy right now, but thanks for thinking of me" and leave her alone for YOUR sanity.

But, I would think the correct thing to do would be to "consider the source." In one of my past lives, or so it seems, long ago I went to Al-Anon, and they stressed there to never expect the alcoholic in one's life to do the right thing. And it was good advice. Whenever he did the wrong thing, and it was often, then I theoretically was not supposed to be disappointed. It did not take long before I looked around the room and saw people who were putting up with a lot more than I would have wanted to and decided it was not worth it for me. (I was not married to the guy and did not have any children with him) I think the point they were trying to make was to let someone else have the power to hurt you emotionally, or something like that. I think it would be very difficult to be around someone like that and not have one's feelings be hurt, though. When I finally broke up with Mr. Wrong for the last time, I knew in my heart that I had to cut off all contact with him, and I did. I cannot give you any advice, just the fact that I myself could not handle being around the "evil" person without feeling hurt a lot.
My daughter sure does! Her in-laws are heroin addicts. - UglySituation

Doesn't get much worse! There's routine, frequent "drama" of all sorts. Her mom-in-law does things like sucks the back of her pain patches until she overdoses and ends up in the psych ward for several weeks, etc. She acts out violently on occasion, too. She also calls my daughter filthy names because my daughter refuses to allow her to babysit our baby granddaughter and, as a result, her mom-in-law has horrible tantrums. My daughter is now estranged from her mom-in-law.

It is painful in the beginning to sever ties, but eventually it gets easier and life is more harmonious. Sometimes no matter what you do, some people just don't like you or what you believe in, etc., and they seem to be incapable of even faking it. You can't choose family, but you can limit contact and exposure.
In my humble opinion, life is too short to allow nasty people to harm us. Set your own terms in your mind or draw a line in the sand. Decide what works for you as you don't have to accept being disrespected by anyone--you have to allow it to continue to happen or decide how much you are willing to put up with.
Possibly you could avoid situations where the aunt will be present, send her e-mails directly into spam and never read them, etc. At least, limit contact and remember that you get to choose some things for yourself.
I really like this post - about lifting up - respect
[ In Reply To ..]
You can't choose who you are related to by birth. But you can chose to create a "family" that will lift you up and you can lift them up. I only have two close family members in my life, although I love all my extended family. The rest of my "family" are the people that add something good and genuinely want good things for me. They started out as friends, but are more important to me than family members who would tear me down and make my life hard.
It's about your choices and deciding what you want in your life.
Yes, I do. It's my stepfather - anonymouse
[ In Reply To ..]
Wow! I'm surprised to see how many others have evil people in their families. I have never had an evil person (annoying yes) person in my family until the evil stepfather came along. He is pure evil to me and my husband. I won't even go into all he has done and said, but my mom who I was always extremely close to and her me no longer talk much. For months she wasn't even allowed to call me. Now she will call every so often, but our relationship is no longer the same.
See from the very beginning and I mean beginning (first dinner we had so my sister could meet him) when my mom went to the bathroom he looked at me and said you need to get off your mom's tit. The reason he said this was because me and my mom were just close, talked every day, were like good friends, and he did not like it at all for some reason I have not yet figured out. Anyways, he made it his goal to put a wedge in between me and my mom and that is just what he has done.
I will tell you the final straw that really caused a break in contact. He came to my house on my son's bday, while friends and family were there, and proceeded to curse and hit my husband in front of everyone. Unfortunately my mom was not there at that time. So she did not see this happen. Well when he hit my husband, my husband gave him a butt whipping he won't soon forget. Then stepdad goes and tells my mom that my husband beat him for no reason and he had done nothing. Haha. She believed him even though I told her and everyone else there that he was lying but she chose to believe him. So that is that. We don't have contact with him or my mom anymore. I talk to my mom every once in a while on the phone.
So yes, I have an EVIL person in my life.
