Help, I really think that my cousin is evil.

Hi,


First of all, please excuse my English - I'll do the best for you to understand me.
The problem is that my cousin seems to be more than evil and she does different things (deliberately) to her mother � and by different things I mean bad things.
Note that my cousin is almost 15 yrs old; her father died when she was 4; she lives only with her mother and besides me and my mom they have no other relatives.
In the past 5 months my aunt had 2 car accidents, the first one being almost fatal. The second one left her kind of shocked. She lost weight, she can�t use her right hand (it has a severe fracture), she suffers from depression (not only because of the accidents, but because she feels helpless) and she really really needs some rest in order to recover.
Now, the strange thing is that not only her daughter acts like a tyrant, always doing whatever she wants, but she also deprives my aunt of sleep, food or connection with the outer world.
Whenever my aunt falls asleep, my cousin wakes her up (she invents something, a reason), she opens the TV with its volume on maximum or she makes calls from her mobile phone to their not-mobile (sorry, I don�t know how to call it otherwise) phone, so that my aunt hears the noise and wakes up.
My mom, even if she works a lot, goes there almost daily, and she always gives them food (or she sends someone with it). She sends them almost 3 servings. My cousin forces herself to eat everything, and if she can�t, while her mother doesn�t look, she throws out the food. My aunt doesn�t eat almost anything, only some remains. If she asks her daughter for some bread, she pretends that she hasn�t heard.
Also, from time to time, my cousin disconnects the not-mobile phone (mostly when she finds out that my aunt has to make some calls) � and by doing so, the only phone available in the house is hers � making her completely in charge.
Whenever my aunt tries to tell her something, she pretends being sick. She starts screaming and crying and asks for an ambulance asap. She convinced her mother not to send her at school, saying that she�s too sick, that she has asthma and bronchitis and she can�t go. The past years were all like this. I know how it is to be sick because I�ve spend almost 10 years, in a some sort of complete isolation, because of the diseases I had � and believe me, my cousin isn�t sick at all. She just plays on this because she saw it works. Her mother took her to several doctors, and they all said that she�s fine. Of course, from time to time she has flu, but just like everybody else � she has no asthma or complications.
When my aunt complains that she doesn�t feel too good (she has some other health problems too), instead of helping her, my cousin reproaches her that she only thinks about herself, that she�s neglected and tired to hear her complaining.
Anyway, my aunt is very moved by the things my cousin says to her and she lets her to control her life. She has absolutely no control over my cousin, she lost it completely. She is also terrorized by what reactions her daughter might have, she fears her A LOT.
2 years ago, she took her daughter to a shrink, he gaved her some drugs, but she didn�t took them (if you need more details about this, ask me).
Basically this is the story. If details about anything would help you, ask me and I�ll answer.
Thank you.

has your cousin always lived with your aunt?
Im just wondering how did she get so uncivilized. But more importantly now, why is she still living with her mom if your mom has to feed them every day, haven't you called a social worker (government) or something?
