My aunt is batsh*t insaneFollow

Background: My dad has Merkel Cell cancer, is on a relapse which is always fatal, and he's been on the relapse for about a year and a half now, which is already a year longer than they initially gave him. But that's not the point of this post.

At first it started out only slightly insane. She'd send emails saying that she was sending mystical power over to heal him. OK, pagany stuff, whatever. She's trying to help.

It soon got worse though, next she started sending angels over to watch over him when he was taking chemotherapy. I don't know about you, but that creeps me the fu[/cyan]ck out. But still, whatever.

Then she started astrally projecting and watching over him when he was going to bed. Even more creepy! But it gets worse. Her astral projection kick got stranger and stranger. Next, she apparently astrally projected up to Jesus, who told her that my dad wasn't praying enough to get well. Not exactly an encouraging thing to say to someone dying of cancer, eh?

She started sending books about yoga and meditation and talking to angels and miracle cures though the magic of snake oil, which I think my dad read the first one, but then ignored the rest. I hope, at least.

My mom, during all this, is getting more and more insanely pissed off, but she graduated from the Passive Aggressive School of Thought, so she never actually writes to my aunt that she's fu[/red]cking nuts and she should stop sending this bullsh[/blue]it over. Even if she is ******* insane, she's still my dad's sister.

So, the latest development is that she's sending magical "dolphin energy" astrally to heal him. I don't know whether to laugh or go get a baseball bat. Seriously.

My grandparents are strict Calvinists, so I'm assuming this is all just some sort of outlet of Victorian style repression, but still, goddamn.

and I thought my grandmother was nuts. But all she does is call me 20 times in one day looking for my mom, whom I havent lived with in over 9 years.

Sending good nondolphin thoughts to your dad

Dolphins got mad energy yo.


Sucks about your pappy. My Grammy is in a similar situation. Luckily the majority of my relatives are all to drunk or stoned to get too crazy.

Well, you could always mail her a tuna fish sandwich... Made from not dolphin safe tuna!!!!

Sorry you have to put up with the crazies. I think there is one in every family. I feel your pain, having worked in a barnes and noble during college in ******* insane prescott, AZ, home of 50% fundie christians and 50% wacked out zany dolphin energy projectors. Sometimes they would have near fistfights in the store.

Doubt it.

And you know, if so... who cares?

Well they are the 2nd most intellegent species on Earth. So I've heard.


Sorry to hear about your pops Dana.

Mail her the link to that one "how to have sex with dolphins" site. There's only one way to extract pure dolphin essence...

Sounds like your crazy aunt is getting the job done to me.

Sorry to hear about your dad though.

Sorry to hear about your father Dana and very sorry to hear about the outside stress caused by your aunt.

Tell your aunt that you heard from the Scientologists and her energy is blocking their communications to L. Ron Hubbard's mothership and she needs to stop.

Sorry to hear about your pops Dana.

I googled astral dolphin energy and there is actually a mysapce site dedicated to it.

Your aunt isn't alone in her psychosis.

Sorry to hear about your father, Dana. I've never heard of Merkel cell cancer, but given what Merkel cells are, that sounds particularly nasty.

Best wishes for you and yours.

(no comments on the aunt...I have too many wacky relatives to have any room to speak)

Maybe she's just trying to annoy your father to point that he'll actually embrace death. You should be thanking her.

Sorry to hear that Danalog as I'm going through the same thing except with small cell lung cancer with my father. Your aunt sounds....special...yeah um special...
