Re: The nuts in your family tree

(Anonymous) 2014-09-16 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
There's plenty of skeletons on both sides, IMO.

Recently, my maternal grandmother was murdered in her sleep by one of my cousins, who tried to dispose of the evidence by burning the house down (she failed and was caught). It happened because the cousin was adopted, and Gran never really considered her part of the family. Though it doesn't excuse her actions, it's sad, because all she wanted was acceptance, and now she's taken one life and ruined her own.

One uncle drunk drove a motorcycle into a tree, killing himself.

I don't have many other details about that side, but let's just say my mother had no issues with traveling some continents over to get the hell away. Of course, she wasn't much better. A textbook narcissist who blames me for all her problems, is manipulative, emotionally abusive/incestuous, and physically abusive during my younger years, and violated a thousand boundaries with both her children. (I'm also anon who spoke of the abused dog in an earlier F!S post)

I don't remember much about Dad before he got sick and died, except that he yelled a lot. Supposedly both of my parents were sexually abused as children, my father by an older male member of the family. This male may or may not have been the young man who later committed suicide over the self-loathing he had due to being either gay or a pedophile (I don't know which, honestly, didn't get enough details).

I found out my other grandmother was an oops baby and her family never let her forget it. She was treated as a "lesser" member of the family and called not very nice names. Cousins... well... a mix of religious and religious nuts. Another cousin drunk drove and crashed... giving himself a nasty head injury. He may have killed a friend too, but I don't remember. He lost his life later, ironically, being hit by a car.

I suppose my brother turned out decent. He was nice to me when we were by ourselves but had no problem teaming up with other kids to ridicule me or treat me like garbage, or letting one of his abusive friends hit me. It's really weird, though. I'm not even angry about that, but I feel no real need to keep in contact with him either. Both he and my mother wonder why I never call them. I dunno. To keep my sanity? Until I can find people who don't tear me down or won't stand by while others treat me like shit? Maybe all of that. I'm still figuring it out.

In the meantime, I've pretty much sworn not to have children. I kind of sense I'm the black sheep of the family in the way that I won't keep in contact with everyone else. I'm not saying I won't ever contact other family members, because some of them are actually sane, but I think a lot of it is that I don't want to be exposed to the potential crazy, and I certainly don't want to add to the crazy.
