Ok, I live in an apartment right across the hall from me and my husband my aunt lives or lived she's moving. Every morning I normaly would get up and go over there with my 2month old son. Talk for a little bit and wake up and then come back home and start my day. Well about 3weeks ago I had just woke up. And I hear screaming kings and Queens. So I go next door with holding my son. My aunt had snapped. She was speaking in spanish one second english the next and who knows what the min after that. She only knows english. So I was a bit freaked. Went to my younger cousin room who is 16 asked her what was going on.She said her mom had been like this all morning. So I called maria a friend and she came over. Tried to get my aunt mary to go to the hospital. Mary then went out the door came back in and locked maria out. Mean while maria is calling 911. Mary was cutting pillow acting like a doctor and crazy sh*t. Well I was about to come home and she looks at me and says give me the baby.

I said no and started back across the hall to my apartment with my son. Sarah my younger cousin was walking with me. She pushed sarah out of the way to get to me and pulled my hair tryin to get my son. Next thing I know I was on the floor with him in the hall. He was unharm but mary was still behind me tryin to get to him. Sarah and maria somehow got her off me. She was in the nut ward at the local hospital for 2 weeks and now is out. I don't wanna go no where near her ever again or have my son near her. What the doctors said happen was her brain for some reason was shutting down. If she would've waited 30 mins to get to the hospital she would've been dead. Alot of people keep telling me that she's my aunt and had no control over it so I should let it go. But The way I see it is if she did it once she can do it again. What's your thoughts???

It sounds like your Aunt had one of three things A Grand Maul Seizure, a Stroke, or something called Mid-life Dementia(Not the real medical term)
Grand Maul seizures can cause behavior something like what you are talking about. A person can talk in another language. Can speak words no one has ever heard before. Act in a way that is totally wierd. Usually these kinds of seizures are associated with Epelepsy (Spelling).
It is a proven hapenstance that a stroke can change a person speech. People who had speech impediments all thier lives talk extremely normally after a Stroke. Whether a person can speak a different language after a stroke that much I don't know.
Mid-life Dementia is not the real medical term, but it is a type of mental illiness that effects people in thier late 30's to the early 50's. They just suddenly start doing things that are unexplainable.

No; you're not crazy, keep your son and yourself away from her, she definitely is not in her right mind and you are only going to bring harm to you and that baby if you continue to put yourself in harms way! I personally would call the police on this matter even though she is related to you and explain the situation you had experienced! Then every time after, call upon the police again until she is finally removed from this apartment complex, They will eventually figure out that this aunt of yours still needs medical help and put her where she belongs! Meanwhile, have as little if any contact with her or who knows what she may do next! If things get too out of hand, I think I would maybe stay with a friend or family member until this was resolved once and for all! Good luck to you and don't wait until it's too late and something worse happens! Keep a close eye on your son and don't let him wonder across the hall in her apartment! Let the law handle this!

DEAR GOD! DO NOT GIVE THIS WOMAN YOUR CHILD EVER! Especially when there's a knife involved. Take your baby and run like hell until she's contained.
Move to another apartment far away. You MUST PROTECT YOUR CHILD AT ALL COST! There is nothing more important than your son. Even if she's a relative, do what you need to do.

Keep that crazy lady away from you and your son !!! She could hurt him next time !!! Ignore everyone else. If you think there is a possibility that it could happen again, then you need to protect your son. He comes first. He always needs to come first.

i think you have full right to be wary of her. She will have to regain your trust through hard work and effort. If it was me I wouldnt run over and hand over my child to her. Do not get me wrong, a mental disorder is no laughing matter, however you need to be sure in your own mind that she is better and is not going to experience another episode. No you are not crazy.

It wouldn't matter to me if she was my mom. It would be sad but I would not let her anywhere near me or my family again. If she harmed your son, you would regret bringing your son around her "just because she's family". She has mental problems so take the correct precautions.

If she's a mental case you should have her sent to an environment that deals with such persons and you can make visits if you choose to but don't just leave her like that,she needs help and it would also keep her from hurting others since she may or may not know that her tantrums are dangerous to herself and others!!!!!
