Drama within the family

I have a family member that is kind hearted and would do just about anything for anyone. The problem is they love drama. She will take any situation no matter how small and turn it into a soap opera. She don't want me and my husband together either. She is always trying to cause trouble for us. She can lie and make it sound very real. She is so good at lying that when she tells the truth we think she is lying. I don't know what to do. We love her very much and only want good but this is taking a toll on our whole family. Wish I knew what to do without cutting her out of our lives for good. Any advice? Need all I can get.

No offense but from what you've described, it doesn't sound to me as though she's "kind hearted," especially if she's lying and trying to break up you and your husband. However, since you love her and don't want her to be cut out of your lives, you need to speak the truth to her in love. If the rest of the family feels as you do, maybe all of you could get together with this family member and speak to her about the both the good and the problems you have with her. She might be the controlling type and needs to know she can't and won't be allowed to control your life.

I guess you should get away from her as far as possible. Some day or some way, she might causing huge conflict between you and your husband, and she is part of your family member too. My best advise, leave it, and go live your life.
