So I deal with some pretty incorrigible family members. They are the cousins of my father and have a long history of being arseholes. Held in contempt within the family, the anti-Chris and Rosemongrel display not only display highly narcissistic tendencies, they are self-centred. They frequently act with psychic irrelevance to other family members – not just us.

These are the names they are known as throughout the family. Without giving too many family secrets away, their surname might not be right, and their behaviour is anything but right. They have a reputation of poor behaviour within the family. We are talking about actions leading to legal action here, legal action they have previously lost.

I would rather not use the term bullying, but this is becoming a common term now. I don’t like the term bullying as we are adults, they gang up and use standover tactics. They gang up on individuals and steamroll them, it isn’t pretty. They are used to people folding under the intense pressure they inflict, they have no remorse and have no principles and ethics – they are just horrible people.

What they are not used to is people standing up to them. So I have come in to turn this situation around, they just don’t know what to do now. They don’t work, their trust fund has pretty much supported them their whole life. Their father was a brilliant businessman, his nous never rubbed off on them, they certainly never learnt leadership skills.
