Interesting that you are an adult and she is still strict towards you. It's probably too late but try to turn the anger into pleasure. I had two aunts. One I thought of as the nice aunt and one I thought of as the mean aunt because she was super strict with me just like her sister, my mother. I originally thought I liked spending time with my nice aunt more. Then I started getting bored with her and realized I got a tingling sensation when my mean aunt picked me up. Every time she criticized me or snapped out an order or was unpleasant towards me I got an emotional charge out of it. On one hand I hated it and it hurt my feelings and pride but on the other hand I loved her and had to admit that deep down inside she was my favorite Aunt.

@Cleancut true, I've had daycare workers physically beat me. So your right.

@Cleancut also when i was younger i wanted to stab my aunt. That's how mad I was.

@johnnyz I'm glad you didn't act on that. You would (deservedly) be in prison right now if you did.

I appreciate how my brain coped with my "mean" aunt, my super strict mother and my power tripping babysitters. I think I truly hated the way they treated me but my brain turned into something pleasurable. As I mentioned when I knew I was going to be with my mean aunt I would get these tingles of anticipation (which I never felt for my nice aunt). When she was cruel to me I didn't like it, not at all. But later I would reflect on it and would worship her in my mind and think how she is my favorite Aunt. Pure cope on my part! But at least it made my childhood bearable.
