I'm 29 , and I live with my aunt I love but, she gets on my very last nerve, I do everything I can to make her happy, nothing I do works , she 82 and she says she's not crazy but I think she really is , she's very forgetful, she's very quick to call someone a lier, and it bothers me a lot, I'm to the point I'm ready to move out plus I have PTSD, which don't make it better, she has 2 son's one lives in New Jersey and the other lives in Georgia, she complains about every little thing I do , if my head is hurting she'll say it's not hurting , what to do . I'm about to snap

Hi I looked back at your other posts just to get a feel of the situation. I wonder if she is getting dementia? This would explain her moods and attitude. I have a feeling you have been suckered by her or her children into moving in as they must know she probably needs more care and why should they do it if you are willing to!

To be honest if this is affecting you so badly (I must admit it would drive me potty) move out asap and tell her sons to look after her.

It won't be on your shoulders if they move her to a home but theirs. She is primarily their responsibility and If she has dementia then she would probably be safer no matter how much she would hate it, as it would be very difficult to look after her 24/7.

Why not compromise? Move out but close by so you can pop in every day to see her. That way you can leave when it gets too much for you. x

It seems her mind is declining. She has a lot of the signs. She is ill. She cant recognize it. She won’t change. So if you are declining because of her, it’s ok to move out. Take care of yourself first.

Thank you so much I will

I’m with Hypercat - your aunt definitely sounds like she’s getting dementia. All the signs are there. Let her own sons deal with her and get yourself out of this living situation. She is not your responsibility! Xx

Hello darling!

My suggestion to you is to keep in mind she's 82 maybe she is suffering from Alzheimer's and or dementia, but if she's not taking meds or seeing anyone that will be hard to handle. So if you're willing to possibly get some therapy for you or both of you. And maybe have a conversation with the sons on getting her some help as well so that you can move on with your life. Work hard enough to get your own place. Just a suggestion. I'm wishing you well darling, with love and light!!

I would not use the word "crazy". It really has no meaning. At her age, there could be a number of medical reasons for her mood. You just happen to the closest target. Is this new or has she always been aggressive? Does she get out to senior events? Does she see her doctors? Can you ask her son's to intervene, even though they are far away?

I thought about talking to her son's but it'll piss her off

It is their responsibility to take care of her health.
