wierd family members

I have an aunt who's birth name is Gwyla.
a couple years ago, I guess she took too many drugs or something and legally changed her named to Lily 4 Jesus.
She told us all that God told her that he intended her to have this name.
I have an uncle who started a bonfire in his living room just b/c he wanted to see what would happen and ended up burning half the house down while his wife was still inside; and didnt try to put the fire out, he just stood there watching the fire grow.... (she's still married to him).

 

My grandmother used to take me to bars with her, more so when I got my driver's license...
So one night, we head over to Griff's, so she can shoot the shit while I ate boiled peanuts and played pool, and she decided that she wanted to go to a different bar, which is within walking distance. Last call comes around, and we walk back to Griff's, so I can drive her home and smoke (that's our little agreement, I drive and she supplies me with the green...) Griff's is now closed, and she really has to piss. I looked around the parking lot, saw noone, and told her go ahead, we're the only ones here. She pops a squat, and starts yelling "Look at the yellow riverrrrrrr!!!!" And that's when I saw the guy sit up and look out of the window of what I thought was his empty car....

 

lol This is freaking hilarious!

My grandmother on my father's side was a slut. No, not an exageration -- she had nine children by four different men (first three by her first husband, four by her last husband and two by other men).

My mother's family are all hard core Catholic -- I mean down to the bloody core. I've been told I'm going to hell because I wear pants. Somehow my mom wasn't quite as crazy and DH keeps saying if he hadn't met me and gotten me out of that lifestyle, I'd be just like them. I doubt that, but you never know!

My DH's family are all fairly good, but his grandmother was adopted (this kind of doesn't count, but it's a good story nonetheless) and her adoptive family is wacko. One of her nephews dropped out of high school and ran away with the circus -- no word of a lie. He spent six years cleaning up after elephants. Then when he moved back, he helped with shelving at a new Wal-Mart they were building in town, and to this day, his mother swears up and down that he built the whole damn thing, designed it and all!

Bright Blessings!

Haha, well, yeah, my entire family is weird, especially on my dad's side... my uncles are paranoid, my aunt is an evil witch, my grandmother never talks, my cousins are criminals or junkies, my sister's godmother killed my uncle... fucked-up family for the most of them... the only great ones, my grandparents on my mom's side, have passed. Oh and I have a cool uncle on my mom's side too, but I never see him... he's a doctor in quantum physics!

 

we could quite possibly share the same father

 

did your mother take you to Alberta when you were a baby? that's where they left for, but I dunno what happened to them since. He was blonde, blue eyed and pale. yeah, I take after him except for dying my hair

 

Hmmm...wierd family members? Well lets see. On my mothers side I have an aunt who has been married three times now and has kids from the first two marriages and step kids from all three which still regularly come to family occasions even though their fathers have been essentially banned from our family occasions because of what everyone calls "bad behaviour" but what they really mean is getting to drunk to walk. In total she has three daughters, one son, three step sons, and two step daughters, oh and six grandkids who she regularly takes care of when the parents take off. Not to mention an assortment of neighbour kids who seem to be living with her. Almost all of her girls had teen pregnancies but then again she herself had several and on top of that my grandmother (Don’t get me started about my grandmother) had her when she was 16 so my youngest cousins come from a long line of teen pregnancy.

I have a cousin who had a kid with this guy. They moved into his mothers house and then they broke up because his mother doesn’t like dogs which was weird because they didn’t have or want a dog. Once they broke up he moved into my aunt’s house and my cousin moved into an apartment with the new baby and lived on practically nothing for awhile. A few months later her brother got kicked out of his apartment and moved in with her. Then her sister for some reason moved in too. Finally she moved out and bought a house and her boyfriend left my aunt’s house to live with a friend.


I had a cousin who was almost always on the run from the police. The only reason they couldn’t find him is that he never listed a place of residence on any forms, resumes or anything. He lived with different people each month until he killed himself. No one knows why and it looked pretty shifty plus the guy who my aunt is currently married to has lost a son before and he died in pretty shifty circumstances too. I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be weird or just shifty....meh.


Another cousin of mine married this guy she absolutely hated and kicked him out of the house the same week they got married. He moved in with my aunt too for about three months, nobody likes him. They’re getting divorced now and it hasn’t even been a year since they were married. She also had his kid too and is selling his house and moving in with a cousin, who has been in two long term relationships and has two kids to show for them.

 

My grandfather came home from overseas to find that his wife had 2 children while he was gone...so she was ditched, and he married my grandma later. Then they found out that their marriage wasn't legal because he was Catholic and wasn't allowed a divorce..so he had to get an anullment and marry again, after having 3 kids with my grandma. (this sort of thing was frowned upon 50 years ago...)

On the other side, most of the men are alcoholics. One older cousin (in his 70's) made some comments about me being really good-looking at my grandmother's funeral....

A great-uncle by marriage was a huge pedophile...he raped his 13yo sister-in-law and he & his wife raised the baby as theirs. The 'baby' is now in his 60's and doesn't know that his real mother is still alive.

 

i wouldn't call my family wierd. eccentric and full of life suits more.

 

I live in a town of 8000 and have over 85 relatives here, and both sets of grandparents, and one set of great grandparents were born here too. ouch.

 

Jeez, I just learned that my aunt (er well, grandma's sisters daughter in law... aunt like anyways) lied to her parents, her husband (in the middle of a divorce when this started), er 14 year old daughter and EVERYONE she knew about having cancer. For TWO years, she said she had cancer and only had two or three years left to live. This week, everyone found out she was lying her ass off.

my poor cousin though... she's so screwed up already, moreso because she thought her mom was dying and now, well... she needs some serious counselling to not turn out completely fucked up. She's 14 and already drinking and smoking in front of her parents. Poor gal

 

I finally met my dad and his side of the family this april...and while he's pretty normal(a hard-core christian is normal enough I guess...) his sister is a narcotics dealer who swaps prescription pills with his mother. And apparently I seemed like a pill head to them, so when I was visiting them they would wake me up everyday, offering me something new, some of it pretty hardcore. I finally got the hint across to them that I wasn't interested in painkillers, and my aunt settled on buying a joint from her son everday so I'd have something to smoke.

 

Aren't all our families fucked up?
