Yup - I think she probably made up some mean BS about Larry and they believed it. That's doubly bad if it's true their families were/are friends.
So much train wreckage left in her wake.
Agreed. My husband's niece is like this. Niece lie #1 afraid of husband because he keeps guns (note: nothing new -- he's a gun collector). Actually, she was having an affair. Her husband moved out on a Thursday, boyfriend moved in 4 days later. Niece lie #2 Boyfriend is crazy jealous and accusing her of cheating on him (note: she was cheating on him -- after he moved out the new man moved in in 2 days later. By the way the new man is/was married). Niece lie #3 New boyfriend is crazy and taking medicine and is paranoid. She moves out. She moved back in with him in less than a month and has lived with him for two years while he married to someone else. He finally got a divorce last December. Everyone else is the villian except the niece. She's the nutcase.
