I am going to hell?!?! (piog)

My little cuz (she is 22 and I am 28) is a recovering drug addict. I am not sure how long she has been clean, but its been well over a month that we know of. Suddenly in the past 2 weeks or so she thinks she knows better than me about everything! My kids are 6,6, and 5. Hers turns 4 tomorrow. She is telling me how I should discipline my kids, she tells me that since I have kids I should clean my house more often. I work 5 days a week and because I take the bus I am gone 12 hours a day and am the only adult in my home so I am doing the best I can during the week (on the weekends my place is spotless), she works 20ish hours a week and is one of 3 adults where she lives. She tells me that she thinks I am going to hell and my kids will too if I keep raising them the way that I am. I get that she doesn't approve of how I live my life, but when she was sleeping around to get her next fix, when she was stealing from me and the rest of the family, I NEVER once told her she was going to hell! I can't believe the nerve of her! 

How do I deal with her?

Cut her out of your life.  You don't need negativitiy like that around--family or not.

Next time she tells you that, look at her and say, "See you there then!"

I would, except her mom is the only one I can count on when I do need help (which isn't often but it does happen) and she is very protective of her daughters... I tried not to go to a bday party of my cuz son and her mom flipped out on me.

Quoting CLEKate:

Cut her out of your life.  You don't need negativitiy like that around--family or not.

It's rude totally but that's actually a fairly normal stage in recovery. I'd just ignore her but again it is normal.

Cut her out.She doesn't sound like much of an asset to have in your life anyway.

Tell her you appreciate her concern, but you can do without the judgement. Change the subject when she's trying to beat the dead horse.
