[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does yor DH have additional family around? I think it sounds like mental illness. Even if you think it seems self-serving. It still could be signs of a mental illness or dementia and she is embarrassed and trying to cover up.[/quote]

No, one sibling and a spouse live on the other side of the country. She meets up with them for fun trips like skiing. She is on her best behavior with them and seems not to have any problems that she shows us. With DH and myself she is local and more involved but incredibly evasive of all and any responsibilities that she volunteers for. She is incredibly self-serving so it's hard for me to believe it's a mental illness but it could be for all I know. I am leaning towards it being personality disorder such as borderline personality disorder and/or narcissistic personality disorder. For example, she was very quick to take portion of the meal I prepared to the sick friend, which was weird since she expressed how she some kind of food aversion and doesn't want to handle it (she is very worried about her public reputation and often presents herself as a martyr to her friends).[/quote]
