My Relationship Essay : My Relationship With An Aunt

Improved Essays
My relationship with my aunt has never been really great or even good. Growing up, there was a lot of haste in our household; a lot of arguing, blaming others and sadness. I believe my auntie just never ever really deep down liked me. Anything that I ever did was just never good enough for my aunt; anything from mopping the floors ‘the wrong way’ or not cleaning her tables as she would have liked.
I spent many years dreading every conversation with her and had lots of meltdowns before a visited with her. I think deep down, I have always known that there was something about my aunt that just wasn’t right. I was always looking for any excuse to be away from her and when I turned 16 I couldn’t wait to be 18 so I could move out. When I turned 18, I did move out and that’s when my relationship with my aunt went even more downhill. We would go for a while and I would assume that things were fine, but then out of the blue I’d receive messages of her blaming me for her Blood pressure “your the reason why my blood pressure is up!”
To those who don’t know my aunt will think that she is just the sweetest, most gracious being on this planet. In truth, she’s very manipulative, controlling, and very good at hiding her true colors. My aunt never had friends she had associates; when someone tells her something that she doesn’t want to hear, that’s just the end of that relationship, period. She clings to those who give her and tell her what she wants. She finds someone she knows who

    Human social relationships all have one thing in common: the essential ability to form attachments. In order to form these attachments, the human body experiences seemingly miniscule yet significant changes on both a psychological level and a physical level. Two key factors that play into the biological level of close social attachment in humans, and in animals- specifically rats- is the role of the neuropeptides oxytocin (OXT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP). The close attachment one feels when entering a close social relationship is based on the biological neural and chemical components that trigger these feelings we have on a psychological level. Interestingly enough rats experience this phenomenon as well.…

My sister and I, we used to be close. I was eleven when she first started distancing herself from me, from our family. I was thirteen when she overdosed on fourteen Ritalin and a bottle of Fireball.…

    While my college colleagues filled bookshelves with James Patterson novels, my library was quite different. The Tale of the Dueling Nuerosurgens, by Daniel Levitin and Sam Kean sat atop my bedroom dresser. When I learned my aunt was diagnosed with Schizophrenia, I turned through the tear-stained pages and found out that she was in battle against her own brain. Mid 2012, I experienced an event that altered my entire life when my aunt, Kulbir Kaur, at the age of 28, was announced dead after taking her own life. I was enrolled as a student at California State University of East Bay at the time and on my visits back home, I could not understand why staying in a church with only a thin curtain separating her from an elderly priest seemed more appealing…

    All 17 years of my life i have known and dealt with my step moms shenanigans,( i.e. making me watch birthing videos, telling me about her and her back problems as well as strip club night at the nursing home) and dealing with such shenanigans has made me a stronger, more independent, quick witted person.
