I wouldn't believe it if it were happening to anyone but me, but I've actually met my grandma...

So I haven't really shared this here before.  My grandmother was/is a cult leader (semi-retired, but living off "donations" and "tithe" people send her, as she's done for the past thirty years).  She has written books and had websites in the past on the ( Read more... )

Okay, so I am going to post this here and wait a looooong time before actually sending a reply to my bitch-ass ex-mother-in-law and her crazy demands emails.
