[QUOTE="Overby, post: 8031879, member: 111610"] The worst that will happen is said individual will have a breakdown as they are confronted with what 'nobody talks about'. They are very lucky not to have been battered many times, we still have these deluded episodes now where they stand there spouting their drivel as they've had a lifetime of being 'bulletproof' (albeit barely having left the safety blanket of the walls of the farm for over 60 years). I can't run a business or put up with it, but being the one who finally causes the 'breakdown' is a big weight to bear. However, it has been said to me numerous times, "It was always going to be you who have to sort this out". I've always known it too. Doesn't help much. Sadly, the individual, seems to be unaware or chooses to be unaware that they've been the village clown for 30 years.....EVERYONE knows and talks / laughs about them, always have. I've rightly or wrongly helped keep the peace and shield them, but enough is enough. It's pathetic really. At times I'd like nothing more than to wipe the arrogant smirk off their face, it's other family members I worry about, they plainly don't know all of the history. I just end up going round and round. Just FYI it has almost ruined our family business many, many times too. [/QUOTE]
