My family seems pretty docile compared to many of these tales, but all families have fucked up situations.
As for my situation, I'm an only child. My mother, from the age of three or four made me constantly aware that there was "a brother" before me, which was a miscarriage. I do not know if it was the Catholic component adding toxicity, but she released a lot of that grief before me throughout my childhood. I am statistically known as a "rainbow baby," a fitting name. My mother rattled on my brother constantly, especially if she drank alcohol. My mother drank too much on my 18th birthday and endlessly cried about my nonexistent brother, happy 18th birthday to me... Her sentiment means well, somewhere, but I just don't have the guts to tell her that she's probably pretending her miscarriage was something. It wasn't anything, never was...will be.
I've never been understood for my sexuality regarding mom and dad. This of course still has mental repercussions into my late twenties, but it was literal psychological napalm through all my teen years and into my early twenties. They still deny that I am gay. But ugh that's such a worn-out rag of a situation I don't even care anymore. Dad told me as a teen to "cut it out with the gay shit SON" and "I'd cry every day for the rest of my life if my son was gay." On Christmas Day. Fucking asshole.
My uncle is a horrible meth head-alcoholic-druggie that I wish would fucking get locked up or die already. He tangles with the absolute lowest common denominator women. He had a medical situation as a child that cut off oxygen to his brain, which has left him with major cognition lapses. He has about the mentality of a fourth-grader and not much more. But he makes BIG money as a tender captain. He has strangled many women, literally a FETISH on strangulating women. He has done this to at least four women over the past 30 years. His first wife, bless her heart, is a wonderful person and was my mother's best friend for several years. But his cocaine use at the time and in general, his degeneracy and infidelity were far too much for her.
Recently it has appeared he has strangled his daughter, my cousin. She was born of some whore he picked up from the family business. Though my cousin is a really sweet girl and was a great friend of mine in childhood, we played outside after Hurricane Katrina and such. Come to 2023, I found out that my drunkle supposedly strangled her. She is okay thankfully, but he has now landed in serious hot water. Possibly many years in prison.
He is a fucking asshole, a piece of shit, degrading, racist, and downright the sorriest piece of shit I know. He has ruined my family's name and is a laughingstock of a man.
