family member thinks my visually impaired friend was rude on purpose

So yesterday I went with a family member to do some stuff with friends. My family member said my friend Paula who had been there ignored her on purpose. I reminded my family member that Paula has Juvenile Macular Degeneration so she can't see anything out of her central vision. Therefore Paula probably didn't see my family member at all. My family member said "But she was looking right at me! She HAD to have seen me!" I was like "Um, HELLO! Central vision is straight ahead vision. She can't see a darn thing if she is looking right at you!" Paula told me this happens to her a lot where she doesn't see someone and then they think she is just ignoring them to be a B*tch. It is so disappointing to me that someone in my own family who knows about Paula's vision trouble would make the same mistake especially after both of us having known Paula for 2 years. Jeez. Why can't people learn?

And then this same family member said this other friend of mine was trying to dis her because he forgot her name for just a second! How stupid!

This family member has "issues." We could sit around trying to find diagnostic labels for her - narcissism, personality disorder, ... whatever. None matter... just the knowing that something is wrong, but that is her path to figure out, or not. I might ask if if she is OK... like maybe she is under a lot of stress, or maybe anemic, or something... especially if this is a change in her personality. But if this is the way she is, then it is just her path.

I'v worked things out since I posted this with my family member. My family member admitted that she was stressed,and that she was sorry. I just needed to vent about it here on the forum but it is no longer an issue.
P.S This family member is kind of jealous that I spend so much time with Paula so that was part of what was going on. I honestly spend much more time with my family member than Paula but she doesn't see it that way. Like you say, it is HER problem not mine.
