My grandma did it because she didnt want her daughter to have a child with a sleaze ball.

35 years later my aunt is married to said sleaze ball.

My grandma felt with her guilt by spoiling the crap out of my aunts adopted daughter.

My boyfriend died of a heroine overdose

My dead boyfriend.

Last summer, I discovered that my boyfriend was heavily into heroin use.

I told my family about it.

He went through about 6 months of rehab.

And, after 6 months, 3 weeks and 1 day of sobriety, he ODed and died.

He and I had started to slowly work on a relationship again when he died.

My parents and my brother absolutely refuse to acknowledge the situation.

My brother changes the topic.

My father walks away.

My extended family has all been extremely supportive and loving.

My immediate family would prefer to just pretend it didnt happen.

We accidentally caused our grandmothers death

We all killed Grandma at the family reunion.

We were moving her into a home, so everyone showed up to help pack up her condo.

Cmon Grandma cut loose!

So she ate a bunch of meat, which was on her do not eat list.

A week later she was dead from intestinal blockage.

My grandmother killed my great-grandmother

That my grandmother and her sisters killed their mom.

(Not biologically related, my moms step mom).

Instead of finding a care home or home nurse, they decided to just stop feeding her.

My sisters husband was arrested

My sisters husband went to jail last year for possession of images of children.

She got pregnant like a month beforehand.

We found out about what he did 4 months before that.

Everyone acts like them staying together when he gets out is normal.

They enabled family dinners though the whole legal process, keeping up the happy little family facade.

And I cant say that out loud.

Im talking choking them out until they pass out kind of thing.

No one talks about it, as if he didnt molest most of my aunts and older female cousins.

Hes tried shit on me but you no ~devils advocate~ maybe he didnt mean it that way.

I fell down a flight of stairs and hit my head several times on the way down.

everyone else denied it.

Then years later, my grandmotherflat out admitted it, at the dinner table, in front of everyone.

But to this day, people actually tell me: No, you heard her wrong.

No, you must have been dreaming when you heard that.

Not sure why it has to be kept secret if nothing bad happened.

My aunt died in a tragic car crash

My aunt died after a tragic car crash.

Paralyzed her from the neck down at first.

Family did everything to save her and nothing helped.

Last ditch effort was a surgery that essentially cut her in half to save her from infection.

She died on the operating table.

My family is now incredibly dysfunctional and absolutely cannot talk about it.

Shortly there after my mother spent many months at her sisters home in Alabama.

Years passed and my mother married my father and they had me and my sister.

Years went by and both of our parents passed away.

At different times these stories were told to us but neither of us heard all of the stories.

Eventually my sister and I exchanged what we had heard and put the pieces together.

Im pretty sure my adopted cousin is actually my half sister.

Why would she chose her?

Out of all the people she could have picked she chose her.

One day she leaned over me and asked me if I was okay.

When I looked up it was like I was looking at my mom.

My sister died when I was in high school

My dead sister.

It happened 6.5 years ago when I was in high school, but its still fresh in my mind.

The rest of the family never gave a shit.

Our side of the family cant stand him for what he has done even before this.

It was fucking pathetic and too religious.

We are the only part of the family that isnt religious and they know it.

Now they act like she never existed and get awkward when shes brought up.

No one knows my aunt is adopted

One of my aunts is adopted.

She is almost 70 years old and has no idea.

Everyone else in the family knows but it was my grandmas dying wish that we never tell her.

Its pretty fucked up, to be honest.

God help me for saying this out loud.
