Infuriated to tears
10 years ago
Always....
Well my nephew's birthday was a big hit. He had a wonderful time and got what he wanted, an xBox One.
I'm not sure how many people I told this to, but my overly controlling aunt and my mentally disabled aunt came down to join in the celebration. My crazy aunt and I do not get along. My aunt and I clash something awful and I have threatened to push her down a ten-step stairs at my grandma's house. My mentally disabled aunt has lost a loooot of weight. She doesn't look like the same person anymore. It really frustrates me to tears seeing her like this. From what my mom was telling me, she only had a handful, ONE MEASLY LITTLE HANDFUL OF CHEX-MIX, and then a plate of snack-type foods at the party and then a piece of cake and ice cream. But when we had pizza, my crazy bitch of an aunt said she did not want her sister eating because she didn't want to deal with her shitting.
My aunt looked hungry and it was very depressing watching her watch us eat our pizza. I felt horrible...as did my mom. I kept asking if we could give her at least half a pizza but my aunt didn't budge. All because she 'knew her sister's body and how it worked.' When she was given the plate of snack food, my mentally disabled aunt's hands were SHAKING. I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with my crazy aunt and I wish there was something I can do.
I had taken care of my aunt and my grandmother for six years and NEVER ONCE did I tell my aunt that she could not eat because I didn't want to deal with a mess in the bathroom. I gave her what she wanted. If she wanted pop, I gave her pop. If she wanted a candy bar, I gave her a candy bar. It was in moderation. From what I'm hearing, my aunt only gets one meal a day and of tuna fish.
Watching things last night just broke my heart and made me really mad. I want to punch my crazy aunt in the face to knock some sense into her. Karma's going to bite her in the ass when she gets older and everything she's doing to my aunt will be done to her. ;-; It's fucking bullshit.
I cannot wait for Thanksgiving when we have the family meeting on what we should do with my aunt. Perhaps putting her in a nursing home is a whole lot better than living with that fucking control freak. Hell when my brother lived with her during one summer, those two butted heads. She had given me an offer to live with her years ago when I was having a lot of trouble at home, but the rules she had were just insane. No boys. No alcohol. No this no that.
I know I'm supposed to love my family but how can I love a monster like her. She's the type of person who would try to buy you something nice for your forgiveness. I literally threw it back in her face once and she's never done it again.
Hopefully I can ask what options I have from the social worker and the admissions coordinator at work on where to go from here. Please....I really need some prayers right now, for my aunt mostly.

I'm happy you're at least looking into helping your aunt, this is a serious issue and it's good you're treating it as such.
I don't know what resources your state has for the mentally disabled but if any abuse is life threatening you are urged to call 911. However, your state should have an abuse hotline set up for reporting this sort of thing, and I absolutely urge you to look into pursuing that course of action. If your aunt is /starving/ your other mentally disabled aunt, that is illegal and absolutely counts as abuse of the mentally disabled.
Though because I know you care, I'd rather see your aunt taken care by you and your family than to get the authorities involved, but sometimes there's just no choice. If anything, do know there actually is something you can do even if you end up not able to care for her directly.
