Let me start off by saying that I think it's really impressive that you write this well in your third language. [livejournal.com profile] tinhuviel was absolutely correct in saying you write better than some native speakers. Some places you obviously aren't familiar with idioms ("all over sudden" should be "all of a sudden," for instance), and you have some . . . creative grammar sometimes, but that's easily overlooked by someone like me, who doesn't speak a second language well enough to write an entire paragraph in it!

It's a very interesting entry. I like the way your aunt seems to be reasonable (if a bit tactless) at first, but eventually she shows herself to be as odd as the rest of your family (no offense intended).

The change from your aunt telling you about all the mental illness in the family to your personal story is a bit abrupt. The overall story is good, though, showing how you've turned what has been a problem for your relatives into a strength for yourself. "I do know that I'm a bit apart from the world but I'm perfectly fine with that." That's a wonderful feeling to have about yourself.
