The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Her 'class' of people is a threat to your livelihood and being. Her, the individual not so much. She doesn't even have an income.
Despite the sincerity of her beliefs, she is effectively a naive liberal who holds her beliefs as fashion accessories to fit in with others in her class. There are a thousand possible psychoanalysis you could do with it.
My point is she isn't really a problem, coming to terms with that should help.
Nevertheless she is family, I don't know this woman, but its probably a safe bet that she is still more likely to come to your aid if shit hits the fan, than some random member of your ingroup. So just treat her as family.
