Currently in my early 20s
>Lived with My Aunt and Brother since as long as I can remember
>From a very young age I have had to deal with the coward of my older Brother(Now in His Early 30s) and abusive Aunt(Currently Mid 50s)
>She always complained about how our parents were the worst for leaving us at a young age
>She usually let Her anger out on Me by cursing Me out and occasionally throwing things at me
>On my 17th birthday She literally called me a prostitute because my breast went from non existent to barely visible under a microscope
>By the time I’m 19, I get my High School Diploma and decide I’m going to College
>My Aunt is not pleased
>She starts to argue with Me and says I need to get a job to pay Her back
>I tell Her I will work only if it does not interfere with College
>She calls Me a “Ramira” and says I should “Go to the f***ing sh*t”
>It’s been a few years since then and I have REALLY been struggling in College, the daily nagging prevents Me from focusing in class and I’m constantly feeling pressured to give up and work myself away
Am I being selfish for refusing to work? I’m doing pretty bad In College and the nagging gets worse by the day. I don’t know what to do.

Abusive guardians are always a very problematic situation. My mother for example has a bad problem with temper and keeps yelling to me, my family members and step dad over useless stuff, but other than that, she is not abusive and wants good to us.
I want to say that you have to find a some way to deal with her, it sounds like you have to stay in touch with your aunt for quite some while. You need to work out a compromise with her or somehow get on her good side. You can try to come out with a deal of sorts where you explain to her that college is important for you to be able to get a job, and without it, you will be stuck with some burger-flipping jobs, and you can't really afford any future.
I sympathize with you anon, I wish you strength to carry on.
I can't relate to abusive guardians but I hate seeing it. From an outsiders point of view you're far from being selfish, you're trying to live your own life. Don't let her guilt you into wasting your life on her. Play the hand you've been dealt, lie to her if you have to, but look out for yourself above your needy Aunt.
