I have about 949 crappy family memebers… well maybe not that much, but I’ll tell you this… I KNOW WHERE YOU’RE COMING FROM! Unfortunately currently my own sister and brother are the crappy family members that I’m not talking to. Ack.

Breathe, girl, breathe!

You can’t change someone who is self centered. THey might have moments of self realization but they will always go back to who they are, because it’s all they know. I strongly believe people don’t really change.

Just avoid as much as you can. Make this person into an acquaintance and not a friend.

All you can do is hope one day they’ll figure it all out and it won’t be too late to fix things. I have a family member who is a bit like the one you describe. I love him, but sometimes I just want to strangle him. He blames everything on other people, doesn’t take responsibility for any of his own actions and it can be so trying sometimes. The only difference is that he really tries when it comes to his relationships within the family. He wasn’t always like that though, he has changed a lot recently and started realizing more how important his family really is. So, maybe you’re family member will come around one day too.

I kind of disagree with you. Just because they’re family does not mean you’re obligated to have a relationship with them. One of the most liberating things I’ve learned is to let go of the toxic family members. Sure, you’ll see them at family gatherings and may need to deal with them from time to time. But to release them from your own life is really amazing. And not that I’m in a position to judge your life or your family’s, it does sound to me like you could use a serious filter between you and this family member. And that’s not such a bad thing…
