....you can't own more than one car.
My Aunt is completely screwed because her daughter's car was in her name. And she can't just give it away either. She put it in my cousin's name, but my cousin didn't pay her for it and they need see that she did.
(warning, this may disturb some people)
Now, she has post-traumatic stress disorder on top of four broken vertebrae, a broken nose, a broken elbow, some broken ribs. She has vertigo that makes her fall down all the time, always getting more injuries. She thinks she has cancer in her liver and her cervix.
Her ex-neighbor assaulted her and there was no witnesses. She emails screaming ranting emails to everybody all the time, our family, the victim's assistance agencies, the politicians, the media, and nothing ever helps. It is difficult dealing with her even for me. Most of my family find it too hard to even look at her emails.
She keeps claiming that the welfare agency care more about illegal immigrants than her. She is a US citizen but she used to be a millionaire in Asia.
Plus, somebody stole her identity and ruined her credit to the low 400's. She can't get any kind of job. They also foreclosed on her house last year and she squatted in it for several months. The bank is suing her for a couple of hundred dollars for every day she stayed in there.
I really don't know what to do. It got me so upset, I had to get some distance. I could write the nicest, most beautiful emails (I live 3000 miles away) trying to encourage her and inspire her and everything, and the next minute an eggshell will break and I'll be the one talking about it with my therapist. My last email about the subject was to tell her that she needs to find an advocate, and that "help is available". She disagreed with me, and I haven't really let it affect me too much for a month or so.
It's awful. Her friends are writing to us about how horrible of a family we are and that she's going to be crawling with maggots under a bridge somewhere, but what can we do? She had two cars in her name. Now, her own daughter won't even talk to her, and is talking about a restraining order. I haven't heard how that is turning out, either. I'm not sure if my cousin is talking to me, either.
It's wild.
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks for letting me tell my story. Heaven help me if she reads this message, even though I will never reveal her name publicly.
