So... I have an aunt. Mom's older sis...
Sub normal che... got married. Had a kid and all.
Lived the joint family with Ma and Pa-in-law and one sister-in-law who was handicapped and hence stayed unmarried.
Something something happened... the next thing you know ... my aunt was undergoing shock treatments.
apparently the story is... her in-laws beat her up or sth... n she had gone mad.
i am talking from childhood memory here. facts are all kinda fuzzy now.
years rolled by... all in-laws are dead n gone. Aunt and her hubs live alone in this pretty cottage in Coonoor.
a lill bit about my aunt...
My aunt is huge... some 250+ pds! she talks non-stop! speaks loud... n is as innocent as a kid. shez so happy... has no expectations of anyone. her son rarely visits... it doesn't faze her. she n her hubs travel lots... visit my mom..other relatives and friends.
When visiting my aunt will help cook... n clean.
her hubs meanwhile sits quiet and doesn't talk one bit. I honestly believe they travel so much, so he can get off the hook from listening to her talk to him.
I tell my mom... to ask her NOT to visit when I am home.
Her non-stop chatter clearly exhausts me!
today... while yakkin with my Mom on the phone i hear her say...
Aunt had a fall and dislocated her arm n fractured her leg...
apparently shez too heavy and is on medication ... n this is her 4th fall in as many years.
Mom goes on to say... how her poor hubs is taking care of her and cooking n is oh! so exhausted taking care of her.
the same man... who beat up his wife / put her thru all that therapy all those years back....
Karma...tis a bitch!
It chases you n comes back to bite you in the butt! haha!
Hey. Don't judge. My grandma apparently had a very tough time with her inlaws. But, like in the movies my grandad was oblivious to it. It used to happen when he was at work and she being young (15 or so) did not have the guts to squeal.
