I have an aunt on my mothers side. I won't name names, so lets call her aunt k.
For context, I cut ties with my mother's side of the family several years ago because they are emotionally manipulative, and I simply didn't want to be involved anymore.
I was thinking of her this afternoon, and I remember that aunt k held some weird beliefs. She put herself, her husband, and her children on a diet (I think it was called the paleo diet) because it was "healthier". Then, several years later, she and her family moved from the suburbs to live in a rural area, where they had chickens and ate "organic" eggs. In fairness to aunt k, her children were allergic to gluten and had other health problems, so I can understand why she decided to do such things. But in hindsight, she almost seemed like a conspiracy theorist.
My memories of her are rather vague, as I didn't see her often, and I cut off contact when I was 14-15. So I talked to my dad about her, and learned that she apparently went to a psychiatric hospital MULTIPLE TIMES when she was younger.
So yeah, that was a fun trip down memory lane.
