We had to move in with my elderly aunt as she needs some living assistance. We used to live across the street but she wanted us to move in so we did before we thought about all the consequences.

She's always been controlling and a bit OCD (a hoarder, albeit a clean one) and now she is getting more and more senile...but the worst is that she kicked out cat outdoors because she hates cats. We are experiencing the worst rain system in ten years and our poor cat is outdoors. My daughter is so upset and will not forgive my aunt.

Can you offer some suggestions? I am sick over this. We've been sneaking her in at night but when she slips out of the room, my aunt has a fit. I am ready, willing and able to move out over this because I love our pets--and my daughter--so dearly but it will mean twice the work for me, running back and forth between two houses to care for everyone; and eventually we'd have to move back in when my aunt needs constant care.

Please help!
