Oh, I'm in that situation like what, 7 years and counting?! Here's the short version... I wasn't the brightest in my class back in HS days. I worked my way through college finished with 3 degrees and a doctorate under my belt and have been working professionally for over 10 years now. And I'm just 27. My friends back in HS first didn't believe me and mocked me behind my back. I gotta tell you it hurts, the people whom you considered as old friends are telling you that "you're not good enough to be that successful." I could only take so much back-stabbing to the point I showed them evidence of my success. I even went as far as to show them my affidavit of support from the US Embassy and even my income tax documents. You can never fake those. The only thing missing is for them to talk to my broker or attorney. Now, they call me a braggart?! First, they don't believe you and are asking for proof of your claim and when you show it to them they either still don't believe you or call you a braggart?! I guess there's no satisfying those types of people.

This is a really hard situation. It seems to me that your aunt has some problems she cannot deal with, and that makes her a bit bitter, or if I might say a little bit immature. She seems to me like a hurt woman. You might could try approach her, be friendly and nice with her and somehow make her trust you and behave better to you. If you think this is impossible, then just stop mind her. You know yourself better than anybody else, so whatever nasty commends she makes about you, you already know that are not true, so don't let affect you. Everytime try to remind to yourself that this woman is unhappy and try to be tolerant with her

After reading your comments on your family, she has a self-identity issue. Obviously she's jealous if she goes and copycats things you get done to yourself. Take it with a smile and get crazy with her like making it a big deal. If she sees you've had enough of it, she'll change.
