She repeats things 10 times. Only wants her son. Does not want her daughters. Only remembers certain things. Speaks very negative about her daughters especially the youngest one. One time she is in a very good mood and then suddenly she becomes the opposite. My youngest sister is single and my mother wants her to leave the house.
