It isn't a family gathering until your sister's scumbag husband refuses to hide his kid's Easter eggs for him to find (even though his wife and inlaws are all cooking dinner). And since he didn't leave we now all have to sit in the same room with the asshole. My older sister is going to punch his teeth down his throat one of these days.

Tell me about your asshole family members/inlaws.

My sister is a piece of work who is convinced she's a nice person. She has told me straight up that if I don't want our parents put in the cheapest care home possible when they're older then it's all down to me sorting it out - she's not going to help. She turned up once during my grandfathers last weeks, didn't help out once, didn't comfort my Mum when she was crying, and then flounced around 'mourning' him for six months afterwards - using his death as an excuse at the drop of a hat. We've now progressed to her dropping insults then pretending they're jokes.

If I get upset at any of this? I'm a bad natured, horrible person.

Sounds like my sister. My heart goes out to you.

And mine to you. :/

I think my extended family represents every possible way adults can abuse, neglect, or exploit their dependent children, plus several ways of exploiting spouses or siblings. There's my hipster aunt and uncle who care more about their social lives than their kid, my cousin who cares more about drugs than her kid, my other cousin who basically sabotaged any chance of her daughter ever moving out or getting a decent job (and wants her to "stay with her forever"), her drug-addled ex-husband who once cut out part of a wall with a chainsaw in order to push a fridge through it, my perpetually unemployed aunt who clearly needs therapy and is too paranoid to ever get it, my now-deceased grandmother who was an emotional black hole and tried to make everyone in her life dependent upon her . . . I'm kind of amazed most of us turned out sane.

Instead of an apology for shitty behaviour, I got a very weird rambling explanation from my aunt about how my dead mother was sending her signs or something to tell her how to act around me, and how I need to look to angels for guidance.

I'm so done with that one. So incredibly beyond done.

You need to back away from that real quick. Speaking from experience, that is the kinda shit that tends to morph into a hand basket and quickly descend.

Yep. I'm usually pretty chill with how crazy she is, because if she wants to go to the hospital because she has a hangover or minor constipation, at least she's bothering people who are paid to listen to her whine. Trying to make me feel sympathy for her after she assaulted me by blaming my dead mother? Nope.

I was sort of speechless, and I didn't want to make a thing out of it while my family were around, so I let her continue talking about how I'm not living up to her expectations and she always hoped I'd be more like her and I could get over my chronic physical and mental health problems if I just tried harder.

If she'd raised a hand to me while my mother was still alive, she would no longer be considered a member of the family.

Your aunt and my aunt would get along. Seriously, you need to cut that out of your life. Run away and never return to the land of cray-cray.

I can't for reasons, but I don't have to talk to her I guess. Her kids are very attached to me, probably because she's so nuts. I would sincerely like to have nothing more to do with her, but it's not an option.

I couldn't find a gif of Micheletto looking all proud of Cesare for offing his own brother, but I feel like it would be an appropriate bonding over having shitty family gif. Or inappropriate, but still kind of funny.

She's got kids? That makes it even worse.

Yeah, the Borgias knew how to deal with this madness. They knew what was up. Micheletto would be very useful right now.

Seconding this. I had an aunt who was so far down the fundamentalist rabbit hole we used to call her Auntie Christ. She used to talk about how her prayers controlled the weather. Only thing you can do is stay as far the fuck away as possible.

Dafuq?? Yeah, blaming bad behavior on dead people and angels is like the second or third car on the crazy train.

Yep. She even said she wants me to call her for spiritual guidance once a week. Maybe she's going to set up a ouija board so the dead can tell me I should send her money. Joy.

My mother's extended family (who I have no communication with) were the ones closest to her when my dad passed away from pulmonary fibrosis. She was at a family reunion.

They told her because he wasn't in touch with god that he was going to hell. Yeah, that killed any wish for me to consider contacting them any time in my life.

I also totally understand why she moved to the other end of the continent now.

*hugs*

Those people are gross. Sorry for your loss.

Mine all suck.

Andthat is a douchebag move, him not hiding the eggs. It's Easter, you hide eggs. Especially if you have kids.

I'm down for punching people like that in the teeth.

For my bf's family: the're not bad people, but I totally do not connect to them. His mom complains a bit too much about our lifestyle to my liking, his dad's somewhat racist in that older generation sort of way and assigns me a different nationality every time I visit.

My extended family can easily go 10+ years without seeing one another. Easily. In fact, if I am very good and very lucky I will probably get away without ever seeing some of them ever again.

My dad's father used to put out cigarettes on my aunt's skin and beat her with chains. He was an abusive fuck and I'm glad he's dead. All he ever did was put down my mother and the first and only time I talked to him on the phone he called my sister fat.

Fuck him.

My extremely narcissistic "mother," who in the past has beaten me, emotionally abused me, and violated multiple boundaries during my childhood, is now on a religious thing where she likes to find creative ways to let me know I'm going to hell and need my soul saved. In the days leading up to Easter, she has bombarded my text message inbox with church schedules/flyers and ramblings about "what we need to give to the Lord" as well as a church picnic.

So I spent today spring cleaning, watching movies, and ignoring the shit out of the phone. I suspect I'll get another "textful" of how I'm not right with the Lord and some clueless complaint about not responding to her messages.

My narcissist mother found Jesus last year when she found an empty crucifix up next to his and proceeded to staple herself to it, so I UNDERSTAND.

She's too much of a hypocrite to go all out like yours has, but I'm really sorry yours has picked Easter to get all risen on you.

Yeah, it's not fun being around people who use religion/Jesus as a crutch. Or an excuse to harass others.

Well, tbh it isn't the first time, but it has occurred more lately. I think since she's getting older and realizing all the people she treated like shit don't want to be around her anymore (it's allllllllll their fault of course), that maybe religion is one of the few things she has left so it's all she can use to connect to other people. Mortality can be a scary thing to think about at any age, but I assume it's worse for older people who have been nasty all their lives, and who may be dealing with the possibility of being left alone (at home, or in a home) and/or dying alone.

In a way, I kind of feel sorry for her, but that doesn't mean I have to be around her, or take any of the shit she's shoveling.

I have an uncle who has, literally, decided to sit on a donkey the size of a small pony and then thought it was hilarious when the animal laid down to get away from him.

Bear in mind, this means a 6 ft+ man was sitting on a animal meant for small [younger than 10] children to ride, and laughing when it tried to escape him when his weight hurt it.

Also, my step-great grandmother murdered my great grandfather. It was never proven [for the same reason a number of murders get off - AKA shit ton of evidence that's too "circumstantial"]. So that tends to dampen family gatherings.

My dad's a dickhead, a lot of the time. Just the kind of person where it's impossible for anything to go even slightly wrong without it being grounds for merciless sarcasm and criticism. And passive aggressive and all that sort of thing. Just frustrating.

Also, my aunt is frustratingly self-centered and almost immune to concepts of etiquette and politeness.
