[quote=Anonymous]I had an aunt like this when I was growing up. I think an honest explanation is helpful...but don't give the situation any more weight that it deserves. With my aunt, I was there for fights, wondering how she could say things like that about my parents. My aunt was even allowed to give a gift to my sister and explain that I did not get one because I looked like my mom. I never understood and never knew how to deal. She was trying to avoid us most of my life but my parents were always trying to get involved with her. And then she passes and we were expected to come running and mourn. It was very hard to process. Be honest. Don't make it anymore concerning that it is. Protect your kid(s). Be consistent. [/quote]
