Update on my crazy grandma

[anewvance]

You'll know from my past posts that my grandma has gotten a little nuts lately and it's driving me nuts. So now she has me diagnosed with a bi polar disorder! She says i'll be up for awhile and then come down and be moody and sullen. She's demanding I go to a doctor to get on medication for it. At first I kinda went hmm, I guess I am kinda like that... she had me thinking for a few minutes that I could be bi polar! So then I was talking to dh about it and we came up with something. The only times when I am "down" is when she's downed me. Like when she's called me on my birthday to tell me I need to see a doctor to learn how to handle my kids. Or when she tells me that I need to do everything in the house because dh is king and isn't required to do anything. Of course I get a little sour and down when she's threw me in the ringer. So now I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hardplace. I know I need to just tell her to get lost and go on my merry way. But I do love her deep down and she "rules the family" and I don't want to start a war in the family for all of this. But I can just see myself going to the doctor and them asking me what is wrong and I tell them my grandma thinks i'm nuts but really she is. I don't know what to do at this point... i'm beyond annoyed.

Just tell her you went to the doctor, and he/she did NOT agree with the diagnosis. A "little white lie" , I know, but maybe she will stop. (Or not?)
