Another fish in the barrel from my trashy family: One cousin was 13 when he decided to take his friend's parent's car out for a joyride with a couple of his hoodrat friends. They had a major crash, the friends were okay, but my family member had major brain damage and his face got quasimodo-ish. From then on, people in the area would point him out in front of their kids as an example to be good or else suffer the same fate. |

My grandmother's family lived in the Caribbean when she was small. When her mother died my great grandfather took her brother and moved to New York he left
my grandmother with family. He eventually got remarried to another woman, who happened to be batshit crazy and decided she did not want children. She convinced
my great grandfather that his son was crazy, and that the answer was a labotomy. Of course they couldnt take care of him after that and he was sent to a home,
where he lived until he died in his late nineties. We visited him a few years ago and although he was pretty out of it, I will never forget the #!%%% in his
eyes when we mentioned our grandmothers (his little sisters) name he hadnt seen or talked to her in more than eighty years.

I'm not reveal anything about someone who's still alive (what if they read this board and recognize themselves?), but I'll say that my late
great-grandfather was caught in a compromising position...with another man. After that, he pretty much became granny's bitch for the next 50 years.

Wow, that IS incredibly sad. I wonder how many others suffered like your grandmother's brother when experimental lobotomies were all the rage? I can't think of much worse than having a piece of your brain cut out cuz you were an "inconvenience" to some old bitch. |

My teenage son goes around telling everyone that Abraham Lincoln was half-black.
And my brother is an effing Eagles fan. (he's the black sheep of the family) |

There was a rumor when Lincoln ran for office that he was part black. I think it was just dirty politics, but your brother is not just puling shit out of thin
air.

My Uncle was murdered by hick RCMP officers in the late 1960s. He is the only relative that my Dad says looked like me or acted like me.
I have a cousin who was one of the biggest organized crime figures in New Brunswick, served time in prison in Boston under a fake name, did two other terms in the big house in Canada for his prostitution and drug importation organs. Reputed to have either killed or ordered the deaths of at least 3 people in his own organization. Never met him, but many cousins go to him for criminal or legit jobs. Heard he is now turning much of his organization over to bikers. He is in his early 60s. Another cousin was a drug dealer who did a full 12 year stretch for bringing a few million in drugs into Canada in the 70s. He is dying of nervous system ailments... prolly from his drug use. He was a bad ass in prison. I met him once... pure piece of human excrement. Wasn't allowed in my 'rents house. I have almost a 100 first cousins.. only 3 have gone to college/university. Redneck to the rotten core. |

Almost forgot an uncle marrying his first cousin, strangely it was one of the best marriages in the family, they had 5 kids all normal and productive.
The Catholic CHurch allowed it to happen after the second kid was born. Only in the Maritimes can you marry a first cousin, I guess. I found out three siblings of my Grandmother that she never knew existed (she was the youngest by more than 25 years) The youngest Great Aunt was really my Mom's cousin. Genealogy is fun if just for the look of shock the old prim and proper bitty relatives have when you present them with amended birth certificates and legal name change records from 70 to 120 years ago. |

I went throughout my childhood thinking my aunt was a widow, but it turned out her hubby left her for another man and that's why he was never discussed and
never seen. My parents finally told me the truth when the uncle showed up ALIVE (but with a woman!) to my cousin's graduation. As far as I know though
auntie is still married to the guy because she's so religious she refuses to get a divorce... or something.
My mom also was married for a few years to some dude that wasn't my dad (no kids were a result though... that I know of...) before she met my dad. I found out when I saw the framed wedding announcement at my grandparent's house and it didn't have her maiden name and I freaked. She still hardly talks about this guy at all, but when my grandma died I found some old letters between the two of them that hinted at him being a big fat cheater. |

It's very funny Vee. I had worked all day and was crashed on the damn couch and she's getting hauled off by the long arm of the law.
She has always called me "Sis" cus I'm the oldest kid, and my little sister always called me "Sister" so it just kinda stuck. I call her "Muh" ;) |
