Is my aunt disturbed/crazy?
Today we had a party with some family and friends. My brother and me left for about 30 minutes to go to the store and when we get back we here a lot of yelling. It turn out my 8 pound chihuahua bit my cousin's hand. For the record my cousin is 8 and the bite was a scratch that didn't even break skin and yes my dog has had his shots. Well we went to see what happened my mom was standing in front of the doggy gate to stop my aunt from going in to the laundry room and hurting my dog. In the state she was in I don't doubt that she could have killed him. Then when we tried to reason with her she just got worse. She started screaming at everyone because we wouldn't let her through and my brother finally yelled at her to just leave. Things really went downhill then. She was getting her things and her daughter to leave but she wanted to leave through the side door which is through the laundry room. I went in and stood at the door of the little dog house ,where my dog was cowering in fear, so she couldn't get at him. She tried though and then my brother, mom , dad, and I just tried to get her to leave but she was hysterical. When we tried to get her to leave , because she was still trying to get to the dog house, she tried to take a swing at my mom. My dad and brother got really pissed at that and since they were between us and her they tried to just push her out of the house. She started fighting them and that's when she slapped my brother. My dad and brother finally got her out , but not before my cousin hit my dad a few times. While this is happening everyone is still here witnessing everything. It's not 5 minutes later that she starts calling the house , and leaving messages since we didn't answer, saying all kinds of **** about us and threatening us. She finally stops calling 2 hours after she left. So what do you think?
I forgot to mention that in the calls she's claiming that my dad kicked my cousin. Although I shouldn't be surprised at what she's saying she gets like this every year at least once but usually just in front of the family. You just can't reason with her. She even yells at her daughter like that sometimes. Although I don't remember her getting this hysterical until after she married her husband. Still she shouldn't do things like this especially in front of witnesses because she's in the middle of a divorce and they could use it against her to take away her daughter. I tried to telling her that and to think about the example she's putting for her daughter but it all fell on deaf ears.

Wow! Crazy! I think that she has some issues. Be careful around her in the future. Your dog should not have bit the child however, make sure that the dog has a safe place to go if it is being terrorized and do not leave the dog or child unsupervised (especially with raving aunts around)

This sounds like alot of pent-up anger. It is obviously bigger than the dog issue (and your dog lol) and has probably been simmering for some time.
This is rage and she was venting it at your pooch!
The important thing is your poor 8yr old cousin and other children who witnessed this. The 8year old will feel directly responsible for her mother being so disturbed. She (the 8yr old) needs to know this situation is NOT her fault. What happened between her and the dog was simply that! No hard feelings. Is there a safe way of finding out if her injury is healing ok? That would be kind of you and a nice gesture to her. Regardless of what her mother's reaction ment to you.Poor kid must feel traumatised with a fly-off-the-handle occurance like that!
It may be wise to take your dog with you from now on..he may be on her 'hit-list!'
Was there alchohol or drugs fueling this outburst, do you think?
Yep! Extreme reaction. You may need to investigate root cause.
Good luck and don't make it fuel further with retaliation.

Your aunt sounds like my mother in law! I've had a lot of experience with a psycho relative. Since she has showed some violence toward you, I would just call the cops next time she tried to come around. You could also try to block her phone number so you don't even have to hear those messages. What I have learned with the psycho in my life, is that if I just ignore the messages and the calling and the craziness, it just blows over like it never happened. It's hard, but it has worked for me!

Well if she calls the cops, the dog may have to be picked up and everything investigated. At the same time, your dad could press charges and have her arrested for hitting your brother (minor), that is an instant arrest for her. Hopefully it will just blow over though, maybe she will even be embarrassed for her bad behaviour.
