Im re-reading some steptalk SOLID GOLD.

It started when I got a text from Sweetheart Niece. Shes having challenges: shes a large person of short stature with heart and breathing issues and was in rehab for a bit and had her 250,000 inheritance stolen by a "bad boyfriend".

She comes over every now and then.

She just texted me a long multi paragraph text of sour grapes because she had spoken to Toxic Troll about her troubles in getting disability and SSI and Section 8 housing. She said she didnt feel bad about it before but she does now, that TT is getting her court case 21K, section 8 housing in Beach Town, Child Support $, free internet and EBT ($800?). That TT was sort of bragging about how she sat in on meetings about section 8, they gave out 1,000 vouchers and only 300 "were good", and that TT was not at all sympathetic/empathetic to sweetheart nieces struggles to attain these things for herself (because no child). Sweetheart niece just needed a vent, but obviously its sort of a hot topic. 

I told Sweetheart niece some of the same things you all told me many times. I also asked if TT is trying to get Power sulk on the disabled dependent track. What with the heart palpitationing and possible lupus imaginaria.

And re-read the comments of when I was sucking on the sour grapes, for my own enjoyment. 

Some favorites, because they are too precious not to share:

She may have $21,000, but she's still Toxic Troll, failed parent, failed spouse, burden to society. Isn't it much, much better to be CLove, even with no Section 8 beach apartment and no $21,000? OF COURSE IT IS! Let it go - she's still a loser not worthy of the space she takes in your head. 

Clove, howsa’ bout you young’uns start listening to us oldsters who’ve been around the block more than once?! Comparing your splendid self to the fat, nasty, child-choking, ‘ho that your husband managed to break away from, is absurd. 

Don’t even think about her recent, illusory success. It derives from cheating, lying and castles in the air. And yup, Clove, we ST old-timers know you well and need to keep reminding you that there is ‘no contest’ between you and TT. Hon, a happy life is about integrity, honesty and decency, all of which you have in abundance. TT? Not so much.
