This person is never wrong, blames everything on everyone else, bitches and complains 99.9% of the time, yells and screams at everyone, doesn't care about anyone or anything but him/herself ("it's not mine so i don't care" attitude), and won't listen to reason or logic.

How do you deal with this?

Divorce?

Seriously, it totally depends on the setting. Is this work? Family? SO?

I have known people like this and I stayed with them too long.

Big mistake.

Stop talking to yourself and go see a therapist?

Sounds like 2 of my family members. They never admit to being wrong. The closest they will go is say they may be wrong, but it's all cause of the stress caused by me or someone else doing something wronger.

Ignore their BS and don't talk back. Talking back only leads to a bruised ego that must be defended by an hour of incessant bitching.

Ignore and cut ties or bring him/her up as a problem to HR.

Sister.

There's just so much that she does that is fucking insane and she has 2 kids - 1 and 3 years old. She's the worst mother in the world short of the ones who have killed their kids.

My parents bend over backward to help her (she lives with them) and she offers no thanks, just constant bitching. Hell, my parents get up in the middle of the night to take care of her kids.

My mom gets the worst of it, probably because my dad isn't home much (he admits the reason is because of my sister). Everything is my mom's fault, which 99% of the time it isn't. I don't know how she got this way because I would never even think to talk to my parents the way she does. We are complete opposites.

Tonight she couldn't find something so she literally ripped the kitchen apart, throwing things on the floor and cussing my mom out the whole time. My mom just goes back to her bedroom to try to sleep and to get away from my sister. I don't think she gets to sleep because of the constant screaming and yelling (about my mom, at her kids, etc).

I could probably fill pages upon pages of the BS she does.

If this was my house, she'd have been gone long ago. I think the only reason they haven't thrown her out is because of the kids. They want them to see some shred of decency, I guess.

Oh, and don't get me started again on the father of these kids (i've talked about him before). He's a completely worthless piece of shit.

I feel bad for the kids. They are going to be seriously fucked up when they get older.

Approach her using the kids. Tell her that some of her behavior is inappropriate and that you're concerned for the well-being of her children.

She doesn't care. "She know how to take care of her kids". 5 seconds later she is yelling and screaming at them, swearing at me or my mom, etc. in front of them. The only effect it has is making her even angrier.

She acts like she's 12 or something.

Tough situation. Would you be able to get her to some counseling?

It would have to be through a court order or something. She would never go willingly because in her mind, she's fine. It's everyone else that has the problem.

It's called "tough love." Tough on both the spoiled daughter and tough on the parents. As long as they molly-coddle her and permit such behavior, she won't change. The parents have become "enablers."
Then need to kick her ass out of the house. Give her 30 or 60 days to figure out where she's gonna go, and when the deadline arrives, stick to it.
From personal experience, it isn't easy, but if your parents want to regain any control over their lives, they'll have to do it.
