Sucky RELATIVES

Not so much 'sucky' as 'aiding in the creation of a possible abomination' my 2nd-cousin is playing Goku in the live action DBZ movie. So maybe that's a vote for crazy.

I've got a born again uncle on my Mom's side who loves to lecture on how evil homosexuals and pagans are but then when I call him on it (as I am both) he tries to pull the 'oh well YOU'RE not but all the others are'.

Beyond that I just have an uncle and aunt who both just try to scheme how to get the grandparent's beachfront house in Victoria.

Dude, I'd love to have a family member in the live DBZ movie. Hell, I'd die happen if I were casted in it.

Now that's cool and sad at the same time.

First, it's cool that your 2nd cousin is going to be staring in the live action DBZ movie.

But it's so, so sad that they're making a live action DBZ movie. It'll be, what, 45 minutes of posing, 30 minutes of posturing, and about 10 minutes of actual fighting, right?

^-.-^

[Kogarashi]

Andara, you forgot another 10 minutes of grunting or growling.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Man. I thought the whale story was pretty messed up, but compared to some of the sad, horrible stuff you guys are posting, my family is the picture of normal. At least pretty much everyone (with only one exception) loves their children and has everyone else's back.

I've had to deal with with some fuckedupedness in my life, but at the end of the day, I never thought I was unloved or that I wouldn't be taken care of. I'm really very lucky.

I'm sorry some of you have had to deal with some of this stuff.

AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO PLEASE!

AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO PLEASE!

Seconded!

I actually interviewed (Via e-mail)the English voice actor for the Supreme Kai aka Kaioshin, for my HS anime club.

Well, lesse. I had some great grandparents, seriously, they were perfect, and awesome.

Then I have the crazy ones.

First, they think my Mom is evil, and made sure to tell my dad that every chance they got.

Second, when my Dad died, they wanted a copy of the police report, and when my mom sent it, they got a second one from the Police to make sure my mom wasn't hiding anything.

Third, I told them how abusive my dad was, and how he treated us (His three children) and his wife. They told me I shouldn't lie, as lying was a sin, and I should get professional help (I cried more from that than from my dads death -_-).

Fourth, they illegally put a second grave-marker on his grave (It was my mom's plot that she'd bought, very illegal) that had the words "Beloved Son, Father, Brother, Cousin, Nephew... etc" but left out husband, and only husband (Seriously, they had cousin and nephew on it...). The first one was a spiffy one from the military, he'd been a MP for a few years as tried to become a Correctional Officer (He succeeded as well).

Note: When my mom gives me control over this, I plan on going there with a sledgehammer, and mailing them the pieces. With "Husband" chiseled on. Drastic? Yes. Sweet revenge? YES.

Fifth, they wanted some of my Dad's stuff. Specifically a piggy bank (Yes, a PIGGY BANK) that he'd had as a kid, but had given to me and later my brother (I ran out of shelf space XD ), and a photo album. They asked my mom for it, my Mom asked for some time to think about it. They then contacted my aunts/uncles to try and put pressure on my mom. My mom said "F%$k no", they haven't talked since.

And sixth.

At the funeral, they spent the whole time essentially interrogating everyone about what happened, they really did think my mom had killed him... -_-

They did a lot more, but this what I was there for, and can judge them with.

My other grandparents MORE than made up for it. Turns out my Mom's dad was in the CIA, and did lots of stuff I STILL can't say.

I can say he worked on the SR-71, specifically the paint, he even took some bootleg photos to show his kids, and kept a can of the skunk works paint, but lost it in a move. It's a joke I like to tell (considering his hobbies) that there's a birdhouse somewhere in Virginia that is invisible to radar

And my Grandma... I wouldn't eat all day on days we'd visit. She could COOK. Good ol southern cookin, with a northern twist.

Me is ranting, me is sorry. The good ones more than made up for the crappy ones I never got to see all that much (And was more than glad I didn't). Though the uncle who works for NASA would have been cool to talk too

[zzapp the witch]

MIL

My late husband's mother (I found out after the funeral) held him down when he was 7 so that her boyfriend could anally rape him. Repeatedly. Did the same to his little sister...she was 2.

At the wake, she kept trying to snatch my 2 boys, then 2 yrs, and 8 mos. My youngest was asleep and she kept trying to tear at him through the blankets as my mother was holding him. (I was a zombie, people were leading me around by the hand, I was no help). Thank god for fiesty Italian adopted family.

At the mass, (he was Catholic) after everything was done and they'd put the flag back over the casket, this woman, who was standing right behind me, put her hand on my shoulder and says VERY LOUDLY in a small church, (it echoed), "Jennifer, when you remarry, I hope that you'll still consider your sons members of OUR family." WTF lady, my husband just died, and I can reach out and touch the box he's in, and you're talking about me getting remarried? THAT was the only moment in time I saw ANY emotion or reaction from the honor guard sent from West Point to escort hubby's body. (Focusing on them kept me from falling down all over the place).

At the cemetary, when hubby's father (a wonderful man) set out chairs for me, my mother, and hubby's foster mother, MIL starts whining, "Well, I'm his mother where's my chair???" Foster mother was a feisty Italian, thought she'd rip MIL's eyes out.

Twin Paternal Great-Uncles

My paternal grandmother's brothers were a piece of work. Aside from being so identical their own wives couldn't tell them apart, they'd swap the girls back and forth (to this day we don't know which cousins belong to which uncle) and then threaten to kill each other over it. One instance comes to mind where they were chasing each other around the local gas station with pistols....

On the day uncle #1 died, uncle #2 went in, saw that his brother was not only dead, but still warm even. HE TOOK HIS WALLET AND SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK and used his dead brother's ID to cash the check. And of course there's nothing that can be done, because the time of death was just close enough that no one can prove that still alive uncle was the one that actually cashed it.

Paternal Grandmother

This woman is my grandmother only biologically, my step-grandma is my REAL grandma. My father's mother is truly an amazing specimen in her own right. My grandfather raised 4 kids, while actually fathering only one. All of my dad's younger siblings dads' were various neighbors that lived down the road.

When my dad was 11, she lined up all the kids in the living room, looked at my grandfather and said, "I'm leaving and taking the girls with me, I have no use for these other two."

My dad recalled once how his mom would wake him up, hitting him in the middle of the night, screeching at him about the mess he had made of the house. In fact, she'd had a party of some kind while granddad was out, trashed the place, and beat my dad til he'd clean it all up.

None of us girls were ever allowed to wear leggings or stirrup pants because those were what my grandmother wore when dad was little.

Uncle

In jail for killing his wife's boyfriend and attempting to kill her....or hiring someone to do it. He had it coming, he'd been cheating on her for years.

I like to make the joke that if we really wanted to have a family reunion, we'd have to go to San Quentin. And there's a whole branch of the family we haven't associated with for generations because they openly practice certain....."breeding practices". In fact, I'm almost certain I saw a family resemblance in name, and features....cept the eyes were crossed and the teeth were bucked....on Jerry Springer.

Older First Cousin

I was 17, innocent, naive, never been kissed, saving myself for marriage. He was 26, engaged, and had been around the block a few times. Pretty sad to say that my first kiss was my cousin that tried oh-so-hard to take my virginity, not once, but TWICE! Then told my aunt that I was the one trying to take advantage of him. Had so much shit being talked behind my back for years about what a slut I was, til a couple of years ago when she made a comment about me having kids from two dads and both dads being out of my life and, "I should learn to behave like a lady." Looked her dead in the eye and said, "I still have the occasional nightmare about your son." Subject seems to have died now.

What else....

Husband

Hubby reached a stage where he like to beat and rape me towards the end of our marriage (I think he killed himself because I left him, or he woke up to his own nightmare). He wasn't too bad for most of it, then its like he went off the deep end.

Barb

My daughter's paternal grandmother (daughter's from my ex bf) used to leave X on the porch of their trailer all night with a package of crackers while she woo'd her new victim. (Woman's been married 6 times now, soon to be 7....to husband number 5). She'd drain these men of all the money they had then move on to the next one. Taught her son to do the same....then funnel the money for her. Somehow she bought a Miata while living on Public Assistance and not working, and I had a sudden gap of $50k in my savings account. Never could prove anything though.

X

Has at least 5 kids my 5 different women now. Has been married 4 times, wanted to marry me, thank God I said no. My daughter is his #3 child, he hasn't bothered to see her since Dec 26 of 2004. His mother tried and tried to convince me to put his name on the title to the house I bought, again, thank God I said no. Took one car I bought, forged my signature on the title and traded it in for a POS (it was a 1961 Ford truck, and pretty nice for a Ford, he traded it in on a crappy falling apart Taurus). Got his hands on my other car, I stole it back, and his best friend of all people, escorted him over to sign off on the title and promised to kick the shit out of him if he harassed me anymore.

He also takes it up the butt for coke......yeah. There's something I would've liked to know off the bat.

EDIT: Is it bad that I reread my post and just started laughing my ass off? I mean really, some of this stuff is just so unbelievably funny, that people would make these decisions....

My mothers side:

• My grandfathers brother in law. He touched my mother in a way that is not cool, back when she was younger.
• The same uncle of my mother and his wife, were total bitches. They always talked down my grandmother. My grandpa didn't put up with that crap. Hell they put down everybody.
• One of my grandmothers sisters was killed by a group of high schoolers when she was in HS.

My fathers side:

• My grandmother cheated on my grandfather and blame him for the divorce.
• My father has 4 brothers. My grandmother favors the youngest 2 the most, because they do not know that she cheated on my grandfather.
• Back when he worked for Chuck E. Cheese, he walked in there with a couple of guns. Luckily he didn't shot up the place. And after he got out of jail, he sold drugs over the internet and got caught. So he went to jail and he is now a born again Christian. He is actually helping out a missionary over sea's, along with another Uncle of mine.
• Another uncle of mine, would live with my parents for a while before they had me. My dad had convertible that he said that he should have saved. But instead he gave it to my uncle and he ended up selling it. He is also a born again Christian.
• I have an aunt that killed her sister, because she wanted to be with my uncle. They are together to this day. And he started his own Pentecostal Church and is helping out the other uncle above with the Missionary.

Yeah my family was mostly fucked up.
*Side note* ~ Yes my family on my fathers side is Pentecostal, which is like a subdivision of the Christian Faith. And yes, I do consider myself it also.

I do not want this to be turned into a religious debate. Lets keep that for Fratching instead

[protege]

Here's one for you...after my grandmother's house was sold, my aunt decided to be a bitch. She got upset because I was given my grandfather's collection of 1940s jazz records. Supposedly, because my cousin was given the (non-working...and used as an end table) record player, she thought he should get the records too. Never mind that Grandma had given me them many years previously. But, when my mother found out about what she'd said, she was pissed. Why? Mainly because my aunt *never* came home to see Grandma. 2 years on, I still have them

[InverseHellion]

Heh sure first thing I say to the guy since we were like 7 is 'So can I get some autographs'? That being said the movie doesn't actually look that bad, it's a rewrite of the original Dragon Ball story line with a slightly older Goku(Teenage instead of child). Emmy Rossum and James Marsters are in it as well (see now I wish I was closer to the guy, go visit the cousin meet James Marsters, have several fanboy moments in rapid succession and then die happy). But even with what sounds like a decent movie I'm worried, mainly 'cause it's being produced by Fox. ^_^

[RedRoseSpiral]

Just remember another story from my dad's side. About a year before I was born my parent's got a call. It was the Whore (my father's mother). She told my dad that he need to go pick up his mentally challenged older brother at a local gas station. It's the middle of the night and my dad goes to get him. He gets to the gas station to find my uncle dressed in bad drag. The Whore had dressed him up and told him to go into the gas station to get her some aspirin. My father was so fucking pissed. I don't even know my uncle and I get mad thinking about it. Especially considering where the Whore dropped him off, he could have been jumped for the way he looked by some of the assholes in that area.

It's really sad, my uncle doesn't trust anyone in the family because of the lies the Whore told him. He doesn't trust my dad or my aunt. I've only seen him once that I can remember and that was at my cousin's wedding a few years ago. I know when I was little he would visit him, but I don't think my uncle has allowed my dad to see him in awhile. I hope he's doing well in the assisted living home I heard he was in.

I don't mean to double post, but all I have to say his OMG you just made my day. I had no clue James Marsters what going to be in the movie. You've just made me have a combined DBZ/Buffy the Vampire Slayer fangirl moment.

Ah my mother

she was a good mother accept she is afraid of germs. She barley cared for me and my brother when we were sick. Whenever I was sick the most she would do is buy meds and cook us meals. However she put them somewhere and we had to go fetch them. When I was REALY sick with mono I think I saw her 5-8 times in them month I was sleeping 18 hours a day. However twice when I had surgery she would wait of me hand and foot.

My mother is an SC. She believes that retail companies make so much money that she will use any means to get one over on them. And she loves making returns months past the return date. One day she dragged me to every target in Maryland to return a rug. they would not take it without a receipt(she tried to mutilate it to cover up the purchase date) and because it was discontinued and currently on clearance. She also drives CSR crazy and loves to give them a hard time until she gets someone to cave in.

My mother also watches FOX news all day long. So she has some very messed up opinions and world views.
