I live in the house that my parents died in and my aunt lives here with my daughter and I. My aunt however hasn't worked in almost 2 years and is SO depressed that when my daughter and I come how it's like walking into a dungeon. It's always dark and gloomy in here. My aunt hasn't showered in weeks and fights with me over the littlest things, I think to make her feel better. Anyway, she refuses to get a job or even go outside..I see a professional because I went throught the same visual trauma that made her depressed in the first place.(which I choose to not disclose) but my time here I feel is done. My daughter is only 4 years old and I don't want to subject her to this anymore, not to mention that it doesn't help in MY recovery either. I still work and I went back to college and I'm a single mom just trying to be the best that I can be for my daughters sake, but now I feel bad that I want to leave my aunt. SHe obviously needs help but won't seek it. I need to get out of here though.

Instead of doing her a diservice in moving out Its just the opposite You will force her to take her life in her own hands Its not your job to parenting her but its your job to be a good mother to your dauther Yes move out as soon as you can I am wishing you lots of luck

I think it would be better to have the Aunt get out.
I would not want to live with this either. If the house if yours then tell the Aunt that either get with it and see a Shrink or leave and don't come back.
I am rather hard hearted as you Can see. I would do just that.

Keep you daughter with you or a babysitter. Find out why your aunt is taking over your parents house or was it hers. The reason you are there is financial so be careful. I so not yet. Your aunt has a right to stay in her own house to go nuts .

You can't make her get help if she doesn't want it, the best thing for you to do is get your daughter away from that nonsense. she doesn't need to be subjected to that like you say, and is currently at a fragile stage in her life where she is developing her sense of self you do not want that to be tarnished by your Aunts behavior. I say move, for the love of your daughter... PLEASE MOVE!!!
