She is at the extreme end of this disorder based on her symptoms. She a real problem ,is a pathological liar, and will act one way with one person and completely opposite with another based on what kind of stand this person holds.
She will sabotage any thing or anyone in a very manipulative way to get her way. She is extermely jealous and this is one of the roots of the sabotaging.
Anyway, I am unable to convince anyone that she has a problem since they never see the ugly side of her or they are too naive to know she is using them or maipulating them to get what she wants from them.
She has caused extreme havoc in my family and also her in-laws family and also with her husband and child. No one seems to take an interest in getting her to stop except me and so I get her wrath and am branded a trouble-maker. Her husband is at teh end of the rope but will not do anything about it.
How can I convince her to get help or shoud I just stay away from her.

Eventually she will hang herself and get into trouble she cannot get out of. You have done all you can for right now. I dated a person with that same disorder. Everybody thought he was a wonderful person, but behind closed doors. Best thing for you to do is to move on to a more worthier cause. Help at a homeless shelter or teach young children to read. Best of luck to you my friend.

As Ade says - she'll never admit she has a problem, that's contrary to the disorder. She doesn't have, as we say "insight" into her problem - it's the most irritating hurdle mental health professionals have in helping mentally ill people get better. In some ways other more extreme disorders are easier to treat because the person's quite aware that something is wrong - while delusional disorders like narcissitic, borderline and antisocial personality disorders relate in a skewed idea of the self and may reject diagnosis and treatment.
So, to agree with Ade - try and minimalize your contact with her. Narcissicts can care little for other people and won't really stop and have remorse for the people they ruin.

Wow she's too old to be my boyfriends exwife but you just described her perfectly :)
You can't help this person, she doesn't want help. This type of person can only be happy wallowing around in the misery she causes other people.
Keep your nose as clean as you can, if you are too busy causing all the humm about her then people won't have a chance to just see it for themselves. Let her sink into her dark muddy hole and smirk when she is thrown into a nursing home with no one left to care. Just stand by and be there for the people who she walks over you will soon be the hero.

If you have tried to talk to other family members about her and they are not interested, how else can you convince them. If she continues to be as bad as you say, she will be found out. Others may already know and are not able to do anything about it either. It seems her husband is the one to make sure she gets help if anyone can. Otherwise, it is left up to her to get help when she realizes she needs it. In my opinion, you should pass and repass when necessary, but keep your distance.

You just need to be aware i suppose. Don't force your view on people but perhaps when you see her manipulating a situation you could nudge the person beside you and say "watch this". Let them become aware on their own, the more you try to push the idea the crazier you will look.

I have a feeling you can add to your diagnosis......she sounds like a sociopath.
If you can stay away from her, please do so.
I was married to a
Narcissistic sociopath
I don't know if they are curable. So,, sinse you can't change her, you will have to change how you react to her. Don't trust, don't spent too much time with.
Her husband and you can do some reading up on the diagnoisis.

Stay away from her. She won't get help because she thinks there's nothing wrong with her.
