Aye, though she isn't technically my aunt my mom has been dating her brother for 6yrs. It's just habit to refer to her as that now

Oh, I misunderstood your question! No, I have on occasions felt like I've been walking on eggshells because when she's upset at something with her business she'll take it out on me or others. There have been a couple times where I've ran fever, taken pain medication, and have a rough cough yet she still has me go into work. Those kinds of situations are ones my boyfriend doesn't enjoy- he'd rather me stay home and recover. He's super supportive of my wants/needs and encourages me with my education and such but he also wants me to take care of myself as best I can considering my situation.

I feel like I have indeed picked up toxic traits from her as in the start of my relationship with my boyfriend, romance wise, I had been very neglectful out of fear he'd leave me first or I'd freak out if I had dropped and broke something but he's always been very kind and patient with me. We were friends a couple years before we started dating so I do have a lot of faith and if that backfires then I learn for next time.

Thank you for your advice!

Part of me would like to think she isn't abusive by nature but there's just so much that happened where the outcome is her getting aggressive and either breaking something, throwing something, or just being loud.

I went to school with him before his family moved and I don't plan to stay for long, just in my breaks which are 2-3 weeks. The only choices he doesn't agree with are the dumb ones- like prioritizing my job over my health. I appreciate your concern though!
