I have two uncles & one cousin who killed themselves. My mom kept her unwed pregnancy a secret until 6 months -when she finally started to show. My
grandparents insisted on an abortion, but she kept me. Then my grandparents flipped out when I was born, because I was 'too dark' and looked black.
They wanted her to give me up. She did keep me, she should have probably just gave me up though. My step dad wasn't very nice. That's all I got.

The second generation of my family in this country led a rebellion against the royal governor of New Hampshire back in the 1680s. He was sentenced to be hanged
until near dead then cut down to be castrated and then be drawn and quartered. The king commuted his sentence and he spent three years in the Tower of London
before being pardoned.

My great grandma had him arrested and put away when she found out. I've been trying to look up his family for a while, kinda makes me think that I have this whole other branch of extended half-family out there that I know nothing about, but my grandma's so embarassed about the whole situation that she refuses to even acknowledge that it happened, let alone talk about it. |

My maternal grandfather pushed my grandmother off a chair when she was pregnant with my uncle, trying to kill the baby.
One of my cousins had a sordid affair with a Major League baseball player. She has now gotten a divorce and is sleeping with a kid who just graduated high school (and is ten years her junior). My paternal great-uncle washes in and drinks his own urine. He is not allowed to come to Christmas. Several cousins on my father's side were involved in meth and are now in prison. Yeehaw. |

I have an older cousin who married his step-sister. They were adults when their respective parents married, but, ew.
And I had an uncle (we'll call him Bob) who married a woman (we'll call her Carol). My other uncle (we'll call him Ted), Bob's brother, married Carol's sister (we'll call her Alice). Carol died from lung cancer when I was about 12. Within a few weeks Alice divorced Ted. A couple of months later Alice married Bob. Bob's kids (a boy and girl) obviously stayed with him since Carol was dead. Alice's two kids (another boy and girl) left Ted and came to live with Bob and Alice. Bob and Alice later had another son. Ted refused to come to any family gathering after that until his daughter graduated high school. The daughter, who had also not visited Ted in all these years or acknowledged his existence in any way, walked up to her "father" and said, "I just graduated high school. You owe me $500 as a gift." Ted walked away and never saw his kids again. He died, alone in a hospital, the victim of cirrhosis of the liver due to his drinking. Dad is on wife #5. First wife was only a three month fling. Second wife was my mom; 13 years. Third wife was a total witch = 3 years. Fourth wife was my mom again = 4 years. Current wife = 28 years, although it's been touch and go many times. At various times he has made a pass at every mother-in-law he's had. That's all I can think of right now. |

When I was in high school a male cousin who was twice my age convinced me to smoke crack with him. Then he creepily proceeded to tell me how beautiful I was.
I told my parents. No one talks to him now. Oh, and my great grandfather was high up in the Irish mob in Chicago during prohibition. People tend to find that interesting. |

My aunt who is crazy super-religious adopted my cousin who was the product of incest (dad knocked up his daughter). I guess they decided to reveal this
information to her when she was 16 and she ran away several times. Got into meth abuse, stealing from the family business and popping out 2 kids (both from
different fathers) who were then taken away from her by the courts because she was declared an unfit parent. This was after aunt + uncle had sunk thousands of
dollars into lawyers' fees to try and help her hold onto their grandkids. I don't think anyone in the family knows where she is now - probably went on
a meth bender and wound up in jail? had another kid to replace the ones taken away from her? We're not really in touch with my dad's side of the family
as they're all a bit crazy, imo. My other aunt is a crazy cat lady whose husband only has 6 fingers due to an unfortunate woodshop accident.
My mom's parents separated after my grandma turned 70. What's the point at that age? Maybe after a certain point they both just got sick of seeing each other's faces after all that time... My dad is dating a woman who's still married (but separated). They hooked up at his high school reunion a few years back, before my parents split (I think?) They were re-introduced by my step-grandmother's sister (a classmate of both of theirs). Which reminds me my grandpa married his 3rd wife within a month of his 2nd's death. nice. |

If you ever want to try a real mind bending experiment, try doing the family tree of a redneck French Canadian family like mine. Like playing twister with
Stretch Armstrong.

Some neighbor dude was actually my father. Me and my sisters used to hang out with his kids at the local pool. Apparently he hung out with my mom. He was an
ObGyn and delivered me, so I have everybody's signature on my birth certificate: mom, 'dad' and biodad.
My grandmother, who was a wealthy matriarch, took an avid interest in some guy's sailing school or something after my grandfather passed away. She was in her 80s and he was 30-something. You should've seen how insane my father's generation got at the prospect of her giving away the family money! |

My ex-husband's youngest brother is just three years older than my ex-husband's daughter. The "kids" grew up together with his mother (her
grandmother). The two were always close and when the daughter turned 18, she and her uncle started to go out and she became pregnant. They both were thrown out
of my ex-MIL's house. She chose to keep her baby. She lives with her uncle/lover/never-to-be-legal-mate in another town. They both have the same last name,
so that's one difficulty overcome for them. They've been together now at least 10 years. My ex has never gotten over it and has never seen his
grandchild (who is also his niece -ewww!) This once close family never really recovered from this.
