    As of this evening (according to her daughter) she has taken down the pic of the guy that she was claiming was her fiance. We all know of course thanks to Doorstopper this is Todd Richardson a landscape architect in the northeast. According to my cousin, multiple family members questioned her about the link to his photo and why no one had ever heard of him until the day we announced our engagement.

    Also according to my cousin she has created a new male profile that is begging her not to get married. She is now claiming doubts about her engagement and doesnt know if she wants to get married at this late date in her life and because its forced her daughter to leave home after many years of them being together.

    Her daughter (my cousin) posted on her facebook that that was another lie and she was leaving because she couldnt handle the drama, not because her mother was engaged since there was no engagement.

    So as of just a few minutes ago my aunt posted that she is considering leaving facebook for good because people are questioning her every move.

    To funny. I think we all saw this coming.

    Yikes. You'll be a happier person if you just didn't concern yourself with her any longer. What a mess.

    I'm glad this is all getting settled at least so you can enjoy YOUR engagement. Crazy family is never helpful. Hopefully it'll all die down by next week and people can move on from the drama queen's grab for attention. Congrats on your engagement by the way and hope things go wonderfully.

    FI and I are just having a good laugh. We are enjoying our engagement and having dinners with friends and family this coming week to celebrate.

    Since we waited a few months to tell everyone Im ahead of the planning and have our venue already booked. We went all inclusive for the venue. The only thing left to do is book a photographer, send out save the dates, invites and do our favors, and pick out gifts for our attendants. Oh and Im looking at wedding gowns this week. Now lets hope a deployment doesnt come up and we are good!!

    I finally chose my colors today!!!

    The best part is that there is a 2nd guy begging her not to get married. That's the best! 

    So she's made up two men and an engagement. How I wish there was a fake pregnancy too. :P

    I think she needs serious help. She lives in a fantasy world and seems to believe it. How sad for her daughter :(

    On a side not, I went to school for Landscape Architecture LOLOL. But I'm glad that she's been called out on her shenanigans. It definitely does sound like she could use some help. Happy planning!!!

    ok first let me just say that she seriously is crazy. And I would be so beyond irritated!

    At this point though I kind of feel bad for her. Mostly because she is obviously bat shit crazy and refuses to acknowledge it. I also feel bad for her because it's obvious she wants attention, love even, and is so desperate (and jealous) that she resorted to this to get what she was after. Its sounding more and more like a real sickness for her. So while I think its comical that she thought she stood a chance at getting away with this, its also really sad to me because someone really has to be desperate and messed up in the head to do something like this. the best thing you could have done was to do what you did and call her out on everything. Unfortunately though I don't think it will really change anything for her and I don't blame her daughter for leaving. She needs to do some serious soul searching and figure herself out. Poor thing.

    I find this so hard to believe that this is all because of disagreeing with you? Was she like this before? She really needs help. Will an intervention do anything? Not online, but face to face.

    She sounds like she has BPD on the verge of a breakdown. Poor thing (both of you).

    I feel sorry for her. Her behavior is classic BPD, and I hope that she can get some help.

    I can laugh at it but the problem with any disorder is your willingness to recognize it. She has had three husbands, count em. Three husbands and each recommended couples therapy because they wanted help before they went through a divorce. She didnt want help and still doesnt want help. She knows those around her are miserable, but she chooses not to do anything about it.

    Let me say this. If someone is diagnosed with schizophrenia, and gets help, then of course we feel sorry for that person and we admire them for their courage. However if someone is diagnosed with schizophrenia, doesnt care about getting help even though they have been told hundreds of times to get help, they go delusional and hurt someone seriously, do we continue to feel sorry for them? No we feel sorry for the person they harmed. Dont misundstand because I dont need anyone to feel sorry for me. Perhaps thats better for my cousin she deserves sympathy.

    My aunt has been told since she was in her early teens she needed to go to therapy and she absolutely refuses. She didnt go when her husbands recommended it, she didnt go when her children recommended it and she wont go when friends recommend it.

    Now if everyone in my life was telling me to get help, I think at that point that I might figure out that I need help. She enjoys what she does to people on some level and she loves the attention. She will love the attention when she finally does call off this fake engagement because it will be some big drama. Drama that always falls in her favor.

    Did you all ever think that she doesnt have a disorder she is just plain out mean and spiteful. Just because someone lies, makes up things and makes people miserable doesnt mean they have a mental illness. Could just mean they are mean as hell and dont really care. Is it narcissistic? Of course, is narcissism a mental illness? Nope
