She has balied my uncle and cousin out of legal problems for so long she is broke and can barely pay her bills anymore. She has health issues that she complains about to anyone who will listen. When I call her, within 2 minutes she's complaining about her health, the Reds (she's a huge fan of their maybe because they haven't won in a long time), my parents, my grandpa, or about me (she wanted a grandson and yea after 29 years she's still disappointed).
I honestly think she is one of those people who just enjoys griping. Like the old people that sit in their rocking chairs and bitch about everything while yelling at kids. That's just who she is and always has been.

Doh, I hate to say it, but this sounds almost like my Mom. I mean, I love her and I love spending time with her, but some of the things you describe here sound like her, too.
