Why is my aunt such an idiot and how did it turn to this!?

Question

Ok, before I begin, I'm talking about an aunt of mine by marriage.

Anyways, back in 2003, my uncle introduced the family to her. Everybody got along great with her. The aunts-uncles got along great with her. Me and my cousins got along GREAT with her. She would take us to so many places and every time we went with her, it was lots of fun! Later, she got married to my uncle in 2005.

LITERALLY a month later, she changed. One day, she just got overprotective of my uncle all of a sudden. Before she got involved, my uncle was THE GUY everybody went to! Whenever he came, all the cousins ran to him! After they got married, whenever we tried, she shooed us off!

Anyways, two years ago, I was talking to my uncle to ask advice for personal problems (he would encourage us to talk to him) and all of a sudden my aunt grabbed the phone and told me to not call here because it's not his fault (so and so) happened and every time I have an unfortunate event, I should keep it to myself and if I dared called again, she will take legal action! I was 16 then, so I kept all my problems to myself and was too embarrassed to tell people my problems (this was before I knew Yahoo! Answers existed.)

My aunt also wants my uncle to not help the family! My aunt gets PISSED whenever he helps the family out because she never had help (or so she says) growing up! What's funny about it is that before they got married, she didn't care and she would help as well! I'm a computer whiz but whenever I had a problem (or my family in general) I went to him because he specializes in computers. She gets MAD whenever he fixes a computer for the family! So now, the family comes to me before they come to him. One time my uncle told me to **** off when I couldn't fix my router. I was so sad when he said that because he never did that to me! What's more messed up was when my grandfather was sick/dying (RIP) she told him to stop paying for his medical bills because it sucks for him that he didn't get an education!?!?!? (My uncle and her work for NASA)

Just recently, I started to get more involved in my uncle's life and she's noticing it so she drags him everywhere to try to change that (they even went to Alaska on vacation as an excuse!) I didn't even see my uncle at my graduation! Two weeks ago, I was at their house, when my Grandma wanted a chair to sit (her knee is messed up), my aunt got mad and said "NO! YOU CANNOT GRAB A CHAIR!" Also since I turned 18, she constantly nags me to out of my parent's house! On the 4th of July, she told me why haven't I moved out of my parent's house yet? Why does she care! This is none of her business!

Before, she was this awesome individual. Now, she thinks she's better than us because of her fancy Master's degree while everybody else has a Bachelors (BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!) I find it so strange that she turned into this huge mega-b***h overnight!

My question(s): - Is this normal?
- What could've caused her to do this? NOBODY did anything bad to her!
- Why is she being such an idiot?

Oh my little friend. She played you all.  
#1. This is what she did, she wanted your uncle, he is or was a family type guy, she had to win you all over to win him all the way over. After all, you all loved her and probably were so supportive of their getting married.  Well, she got him, and now she didn't need any of you anymore.  What really sucks, is he has let her get away with it. Sure they want their own time together, but she came in there all sweet as pie till they got married and he is an idiot for not seeing what she he, She is a loony, a controlling ***** and he has let her do it. She deceived all.
 It's none of her business if you live at home, its not like your in your 20's and 30's.  Next time  tell her off, what do you have to lose? 
The day they have a kid, she will make sure he never has time for anyone else. If you could talk to your uncle, tell him you miss him and his advice and you feel like since he got married he has no time for you...that will open the door.   That's my first thoughts.  The other is
#2. she is chemically imbalanced...all the time and needs some kind of medical/mental attention. If this is incorrect go to #1

Normal is a setting on the dishwasher. She is mentally ill. She is a control freak. Your uncle is probably a nervous wreck. Look how he is tolerating her nasty behavior. That is real sad. Send him a card to lift his spirits and let him know that you will always hold a special part in your heart for him. Send it to him at his work. She will go to hell. Something bad will happen to her in due time. Of course her behavior is not normal. She likely needs psychotrophics to elevate her brain chemistry. Too bad that when you become knowledgeable comes with it is the ability to identify who is mentally ill and to what degree. I am real sorry that you have a hater in the family, and it wont be the first or the last.Do not defend yourself to her or your uncle. Just sit back awhile and watch her continue to decline. Take care.

First off ur gonna run into these people all your life. people who think they are better because of a piece of paper. im not even out of high school yet i already know more than every teacher at the school and they know it to. Its just a piece of paper remember that.... any way....

Its normal because she put on a mask to get ur uncle and now that they are together she can feed him a million lies and be all sweet and there's nothing you can do to change his mind about it. It is actually relatively normal, and  your uncle is simply playing into it.... its not something you will over come.
