Q: My aunt has been putting cameras everywhere in the house. It is her house and we are just living with her. She watches
Us even without our knowledge all the time. Listens in on conversation me and my husband have or my children. Today she placed another camera directed at the chairs my husband and I sit in. She has one at the kitchen table where we do homework and also one in the living room where she can hear anything we are discussing or talking about as a little family. She comes home, stays in her car and watches the back play of that day to see what we did and talked about. We are uncomfortable and our mental health it reflecting this. My children are uncomfortable to even talk to me now because they are scared she is watching and listening. It has made me more paranoid than I have been before. I have a Borderline Personality Disorder and have paranoia issues a mental health issues already and she is making me very unstable. She know we have no where to go and she is trying make us so uncomfortable that we don't want to be there. Help please
