Shady aunt...
My aunt and i have never got along..she married my uncle in 93' and i really am convinced it was for his money. That is anthor long story though, right now she is in the "hospital". She has had about 6 surgeries for her weight..she kept getting gastric bypass surgery because she would gain the weight..then get it again..then gain..etc. About 4 years ago, she came down with cancer. She wouldent let anyone see her in the hospital, and noone knew where she was since she wouldent tell anyone. Not even my uncle. She kept asking him to wire her money to her bank account for the hospital bills(which he never seen) and he did, because my uncle will never speak up for him damn self..i could see it in his eyes he knew she was lieing.
So, today i go over to his house and im like wheres patty? I havent seen her for months..well apperently shes in the "hospital" again. She disappears for months at a time and will never tell anyone what hospital she is in getting treatment. Yet again he is sending her money!! i get so mad at him because i dont buy that shit. Now, i know there is nothing i can do because hes in love with her,and he wants to help his wife, whatever thats fine..but today i find out she hit my grandma up for money. OH HELL NO!! My poor grandma, she is 87 and struggling to make it on her own, and she sent my aunt the rest of her money because she called my grandma from the "hospital" saying shes on her death bed basically and was desperate for the money. So, my grandma got one of her friends(she doesnt drive) to wire the money. This is where i come in, i know she just totally fucking scammed my grandma and im PISSED. she better hope that my uncle finds her before i do, seriously it would be worth going to jail to hurt her BADLY.
But there is a very VERY small chance in my mind that maybe she really could be sick somewhere? I mean what if it isnt all lies? I have to think about that also, But then i think...she had a huge divorce before she married my uncle and she got a couple mill outta him, and my uncle has taken care of EVERYTHING for her(house, cars, food, clothes, medical, everything) so i know she has a huge bank account. I have seen it before...so why does she need everyone elses money?? I dont feel bad for my uncle because he is letting her do this, but my grandma...come on...I have also called every single hospital in the area the money is being wired to and no such luck of her name. is there anything i can do??

Re: Shady aunt...
Yeah..talk to the cops and have her investigated for fraud. Or hire a private detective to find out exactly what "hosptal" she is in. Then when you find out shes in a resort or holed up with a bf somewhere...file fraud charges. ANd give the info to your uncle to use in divorce proceedings
Dear lord i hope your uncle was smart enough to make her sign an ironclad pre-nup. But judging by how easily he is swayed by her..i'd guess not.

Re: Shady aunt...
does your uncle know his wife is now hitting up his elderly mom for money?
it's one thing to blindly live on in ignorance and denial (i should know) but it's a totally different matter when you she others suffer for one's own inaction/denial.
maybe/hopefully your uncle will snap out of it once he realizes your "aunt" is a user and deceiver and is starting to hurt others besides himself.
i do think you should speak up on it though. your grandmother probably needs you to protect/speak for her. you might want to scope out the rest of the family's feelings on it (if there are other family members). a united front is more convincing ime.

Re: Shady aunt...
Yeah, there is definitely something going on there. I don't understand how your uncle would just sit there and send money without wanting to know where she is and what is going on.
And like Snoopy said, talk to your family members. See what they think about the whole situation..
