My broken joint family

The other aunt

I am so stunned by the audacity of this lady that i cannot even decide where to start. She is a nice to people she likes but she is also horrible. She has treated my mom like shit since the day my mom came to this house after marriage. My father, my older aunt who died and my grandmother would always say that she has always been this way since childhood, mean, arrogant, stubborn, jealous. But all I see is how everybody has enabled her behavior.

My mom was married into this house at the time where dowry was common. My mothers side of the family faced a lot of financial hardships after the death of their parents, in-spite of that my uncles managed to give my mom away with good gold, lot of furniture and many other things. My aunt was not satisfied, she feels like she has a sense of authority over everyone. The day my mom entered this house, my aunt berated her and her family, a bride who hasn't even changed from her bridal attire yet. There was nothing my mom could do.

My mom and dad didn't even go for a honeymoon. If my dad took my mom out to eat, my aunt would get angry and cause a ruckus in the house, she would start fights and everything. My grandfather at that time would shut my aunt down from speaking anything against my mom, but once he died, she continued again.

One thing, my aunt isn't married, and nobody knows why. She is close friends with our neighbors who she calls family. The neighbors consists of a brother and sister both are unmarried as well. They too played a big part in keeping us children away from my mom. My aunt would team up with them against my mother. My aunt was responsible for dropping us to school and picking us up and she would also make sure we did our homework. My aunt also cleaned the floors of the house and also buy groceries that my father paid for. That was all she would do other than mentally torturing us.

She also had the habit of going through my moms closet while she was away. We hated our mother so much, the neighbor and my aunt would buy us so many things and guilt us into liking them, then they sold brainwash us. There where many many fights very frequently, and my siblings and I were exposed to way too much.

There is no end to what she has done to us, and how she pretends to act like the victim, we are finally able to see the truth and we are totally done with it.
