My Aunt is a Moocher of Society and annoys Me?
I have an Aunt, that used to be my favorite Aunt when I was growing up. As I became an adult, I realized she is just a psycho. When she gets mad, I mean look out. My own Father, has even said she can get violent. If your opinion is different than hers. She will get mad, or she will ask why in rude ways. I can go on and on about this woman. But, that would take two pages just to describe this woman. Anyways, she is not working. She has not worked since she was married to her ex husband. Her spousal support ran out years ago after the divorce. She has not worked, since her grown sons were babies. She was a housewife even when her sons were in high school. Her excuse back then, was I don't have to work; I have a man that takes care of me. Well now, she no longer has a man. She is not disabled either. Lately, I get the feeling she has been hinting for my husband and I to help her financially.
Because, she calls me a lot telling me how she is depressed and has no job. Then, she will tell me how no one in the family will help her out with her bills. How no one cares for her. She admitted to me that her church is paying her rent. Yeah, those collections from her church are paying her $700.00 a month rent. Along with her two sons helping her with rent. I think she is a moocher of society. I also think she is purposely looking to sue someone. She is always having these accidents. And claiming she hurt herself. She is always going on about how I should take advantage of the system because I have epilepsy. Then, she will also say black people do, so why can't you. These kind of things bother me of her. When she calls me, I see her number on the id. And my body literally tenses up. After a phone conversation with her, I am in a negative mood for 3 days. Any positive advice you give her; she tears it down with negative talk.
I am always easy to give good advice here on yahoo. But, I never follow my advice with this woman. What do you all think. I have just lost more respect for her as a human being. I feel bad, but I cannot help it. I tolerate her, and just look at her as a person whom likes to play the victim in life.

Anyone or anything that causes you so much stress and affects you negatively,you need to separate yourself from that,toxic people are always negative and either they are blaming others for their problems or trying to put their problems in someone else's lap,CUT OFF ALL CONTACT WITH HER ,and don't feel guilty about it she is an adult and she needs to work on her issues to fix HER situation,STOP allowing her to dump on you emotionallyor financially.

Don't feel guilty about disapproving your aunt's way of life.
The best you can do is feel sorry for her but not feel obliged to finance her.
