    You need to speak with an attorney. With the legal documents, medical and financial power of attorney, you can control who sees your parents in the hospital or rehabilitation. Talk to the staff, and the unwanted aunts will be escorted out, either by staff or police.

    As far as at home, sometimes the best you can do is not engage with their bad behavior. Boundaries need to be in place if you intend to stay their in your parent's home.

    Perhaps a clergy member of a church can intervene? No one should live in an abusive situation.

    The state should have free or low cost legal aid in your area. Maybe the local county court office can direct you to a resource.
