The problem is my aunt... if she would actually commit suicide, then I'd have her death on my conscious. I'm really lost. I know Denise needs outside help... now more so than ever. My aunt needs help, but she doesn't know it. She's dysfunctinal at best.

Mom was ready to hit my aunt today. Mom went early to help set things up for the shower (its her son's girlfriend who's expecting the baby) and my aunt apparently just sat there chain smoking and didn't set up anything. She just let mom do everything. The mom of the mom-to-be did the same. After mom threatened to toss a pitcher of water over her cigarette because she shouldn't be smoking where babies and pregnant women would be at the shower, mom told her to hire a caterer next time (go mom! She typically lets people walk all over her). Mom then high-tailed it outta there when I left just because she knew if she didn't, that she'd have been made to clean up too. Mom is pretty sure they left the place a mess. I can't remember the last time I saw mom that mad! Maybe I can get her to call CS and file a complaint at the same tie I do.... if we do it together then we would both be doing it and neither would be responsible for anything if my aunt commited suicide. Believe me, the threat of suicide is real.
