You have a most beautiful attitude about life; one that many people (especially motivational speakers) share with you. Unfortunately, not all people can think this way. I believe that chemical imbalances are to blame, as they can truly alter a person’s thought pattern(s) and make things a bit more difficult. I believe that all people do have the strengths and resources to get through all life’s obstacles; however, they may need some extra help to find what is not so obvious to others who do not suffer with chemical imbalances.

Thank you so much for writing and sharing your wonderful point of view.

All my best,

Her fuel-inefficient van would cost $1,000-$1,500 to fix. (She does a paper route w/ my mom. With my mom doing the intensive labor - loading the papers, getting out, etc.)

Anyways, the last 3 weeks my aunt has rented from a shyster for $250/wk. (And during Christmas wasted another $1,500 to this fellow for what turned out to be a $100 problem.)

And she refuses to look for a beater or anything that might be an option.

She has a vested life insurance policy worth an unknown amount - I assume maybe $4-5K. She’s $30K+ in debt. Makes $1,500-$1,700 per month on the route - but can’t get ahead.

Meanwhile, my mother and I (begrudgingly, I come along - even though I did the auto trader search for them and did a cursory internet search for a $1,000 or less vehicle) go out to look for a vehicle my mother has only about $400 to spend in buying, hoping to “work out” some deal.

Monday, my aunt gives this leach another $250 for another week.

Now, I am not suppose to be upset or feel this is insane?

My route pays their home equity, food and electric and the gas to run the route. I have $65 to get me to next Thursday, and I am short by $20. Yet, I am suppose to live with this.

My aunt doesn’t try because:
1) She knows it bothers me - and feels I ought to support her even when she does this stuff (She’s OCD too)
2) Thinks I don’t do enough - making money for them
3) Will have tantrums when mention anything negative about these issues, saying, “it’s my money. I’ve helped you out…no one ever helps me. I always get screwed. You want me to always do what you want.”

I WANT OUT SO BAD.

But I can never save a cent because:
1) They control me through money - the checks come to them because the route I’ve done for 4 1/2 years is in my mother’s name. (Felony.)
2) They ration it out for gas only. I might get $20-40 here or there. But I am human - I eat & buy things most considered as daily purchases. I consider them luxuries.

I have serious thoughts of taking the next small portion I get for gas money, a bus ticket bought in January to Baltimore and personal items and leaving. Because this has gone on for years- decades.

No change is going to happen.
I’ve reasoned, analyzed, pleaded, threatened and exploded in the last 4 years. Finances are terrible things to fight.

But when someone WILL not HELP themselves, and HARMS you in the process, over and over, in a CARE LESS attitude - they want me to leave so they can BLAME me. (NO other relatives have contact with them.)

Sorry it is so long…that’s a wrap.

All my best,
