Good God what a tale.
There's more:
My parents weren't married when I was born so girl and boy cousin werent allowed to associate with me or my parents for years because again, super religious aunt didnt want their kids being around what she considered "unchristian" families.
While my grandmother lived with them, they had a baby monitor set up outside the room far enough that even my mother screaming at it wasnt noticed by them. They convinced my grandmother's power of attorney to pay them for renovations to their house that they claimed were for my grandmother's benefit. 10, 15k something in that range as well as 1500 a month for housing her. No one else asked for a dime because why the fuck would we? My mother almost lost her house trying to keep grandma in a familiar home environment and out of care homes and these fuckers wanted to contribute as little to her care as they could get away with.
Aunt harasses my late uncle repeatedly. He gets cancer, tells people never to allow her anywhere near him if/when he passes and then goes into a coma. The aunt and I were the only family members there. No one else told her to fuck off like he wanted. So for the first and likely only time in her life, she felt something similar to remorse. All the evil shit she said to him she could no longer take back. But she doesnt learn anything from it. She still treats anyone stupid enough to have a relationship with her like garbage. And she wonders why I fucking despise her.
And of course she is on the Trump train. She sent out a "christmas letter" that was nothing but complaining about liberals and how woke things are. And I am 99% sure the only reason she wasn't at the capitol on January 6th is because that side of that family is always broke as shit and couldnt afford to be there. She is, unsurprisingly, now blaming january 6th on "antifa" and started talking shit about my surviving uncle's kids, myself and my mom for not being right wing nut bars. i.e we are "antifa" terrorists apparently.
Then there's the business my surviving uncle co-owned with aunt's husband. Surviving uncle cant stand him so he forfeits control of the company and prepares to move out of state. This pisses off aunt's husband who threatens to come over to my house (where surviving uncle was our tenant) and kick his ass. Luckily nothing came of that. Surviving uncle leaves the state and aunt's husband mismanages the company straight into the pavement. Which is one of the reasons why theyre not doing great right now.
This is depressing, I'm sorry. My family is very crazy too if it helps.
