writes:Dear cupid,My relationship is with my aunt, we have always been very close and she does alot for me through out my life, I dont think I ever would have gone through college with out her. Her whole life she has been a 5th grade teacher, she spent most of her life there working hard and as of now is retired.My concern is that Im not my age to her, she thinks I'm one of her students. The last time I checked 5th grage was almost 10 years ago. I have always been able to talk to her unless it was something serious. Its like she lives in a fantasy land and is unaware of real problems in the world today. She lives in a nice quiet white subburban town that doesnt have alot of traffic. I on the other hand live alone in a ghetto brick stone apartment building in the inner city. I ride the public transportation every day with all the wellfare woman that have 10 kids, the addicts, and mentally ill people. (hey it's cheap rent) And I have lived like this for the past 5 years.We used to go to disney land alot when I was a kid, then she invited me on a trip 2-4 yrs ago back to disney land. When we got there I had it in mind that I could do whatever I wanted with in reason since I was over 18 had my liscence and was living alone in the city as I menchioned. Well it was bad enough that she even followed me into the bathroom each and every time but I had to hold her hand when we crossed the street because something might happen to me at DISNEYLAND with all the security and all the rich normal people. If I'm visiting and we decide to watch a movie it has to be rated PG.This doesnt make sence at all!!! What the hell is wrong with her? I need to talk to her about something serious and it's like she just blocks me out, what can I do?

She likes living in her fantasy land.
Real life is just horrible at times. If she's always been there for you then why not repay the favour? Be there for her and let her act like a 5 year old that can only watch PGs and needs her hand holding.
If you need to talk about serious things it might be time to move on and find some friends of your own age that you can talk to about your issues.
Good Luck!! xx
