My Boomer Tips

My Boomer Tips

I'm 19 years old and my grandmothers sister -my great aunt- is really getting out of hand.

My grandma and her sister have fought all their lives, constantly. Well I grew up, moved out of state for my husband, and started my life the way I wanted it. So far so good...

Well my aunt got ahold of my email address and started emailing me. Every single email, she would brag about her family, like they were better than everyone else in the world, comparing her granddaughter to me, which is kind of a laugh riot figuring shes a sleaze and a drunk. Then continuing to run down my grandparents, who I am very close to.

One day I just had enough and responded;
"I'm sorry if I come off as rude, and I love you very much... but I've really had enough of hearing you run down my grandparents in every email. You dont email me to keep in touch, instead you run down my family and boast about yours. I'm tired of hearing it, specially when I get married and I dont even receive an email at least congratulating me, but when ever someone got married or graduated from school down there, we were there with checks, gifts, cards... Because it was expected. I heard nothing from no one, not even a call. It hurt me very bad and I really dont have much respect for you or your family after all these emails over time. It would be best if you left our conversations about ourselves, not anyone else."

After that I received around 7 or 8 emails from this woman, running me down, calling me terrible names... saying she feels bad for my husband for getting into such a terrible family... saying how lucky she is to have such a great family unlike mine, and how religious she is...saying that my family and I no longer exist to them, and that she forwarded all the emails to her family to read. Its actually quite a read if I could post the emails here...

Shes around 60 years old, writing to me in caps, with obvious means of tearing my heart apart; asking me "are you about to loose your mind? I dont know you can handle being who you are, maybe you should just give up on life". We used to be fairly close, I considered her another grandma to me... I was really hurt, but mostly I expected this because shes done it to my grandma, many friends of her, and her in laws; all that no longer speak to her.

Well I got over it, my mother and grandparents found out because I obviously told them. My husband, being a catholic, was very angry, specially at the fact of the extent of the insults and she calls herself catholic.

That was around 3 months ago. Last night she called my mom, and my aunt had her on speakerphone, very mature right? Haha. My mom ended up telling her off, because my aunt was stating "I miss you guys, want to work through problems" which shes done every single time. My mom said "after what you've said to my daughter, you as well no longer exist to us, do not call again" and hung up.

After this, I received another email, again going off on me... telling me its my fault that my family is done with her...

So my question is, how can I resolve this besides just deleting my email, I work through that email... so I cant delete it! I cant find a way to block her either. My husband wants to take this to JAG -lawyers through the military- because of the harassment. But I dont want anything to do with her anymore, specially if I did that, she might try murdering me! haha! This is just crazy, any advice? Speaking to her anymore will only make matters worse.

Thank you very much for the patience with reading this!
LOL thanks there to the lady that said I have no common sense at all. Friendly person.
