C, sorry that your aunt brought up these bad memories but you know she meant well. Sometimes when people are trying to be supportive they just say all the wrong things. I'd compare it to walking up to a wheelchair bound paraplegic and saying, "you're amazing, you're just like a normal person." It sounds reasonable at first until you realize the underlying message is "I don't think of you as normal".
Sorry C. Thinking of ya.
