Strange Family Contest: Finale

Note to my mother and other concerned readers:

I have been to the Dr. for migranes.? Because of the type I get there is nothing that can really be done for me.? If you will read this post you will note that it is a run its course type of thing and avoid the triggers (which would be stress in my case).? Major stress does terrible things to me including migranes and irregular heart beat, but at least that year of therapy got me past wanting to up and quit my job at a moments notice.

On to the fun stuff.? Oh, and for John, I’ll go head to head with you on the Redneck family contest too.? The directions to my Uncle’s house include turn off the paved road and to get to my grandparents you turn at the big fish sign.? Boo yah!

The entries were fantastic and yes, it was like a train wreck.? I just had to keep reading.? But I have one more story that usually puts me over the edge.

Elle:

Aunt and Uncle have 4 boys and 1 girl.? It’s a hers, his and ours kinda deal.? All except one have had some sort of trouble.? 3 of the 5 have been incarcerated, one for (I believe armed robbery).? Prior to his jail time cousin and his girlfried were living together and girlfriend ended up pregnant.? Turns out girlfriend was a crack head and cousin wasn’t much better.? Girlfriend took off and cousin couldn’t take care of baby.? Aunt and Uncle took baby so baby wouldn’t end up in foster care.? Aunt and Uncle went through the process to formally adopt baby.? This makes baby the sister of her father and Aunt and Uncle are mom and dad/grandma and grandpa.? Although she calls them mom and dad and I’m not sure if she knows they are really her grandparents.

This and the other stories I’ve put forth are going up against the following tales:

A. Lurker: Troubled cousin moves in with family. Cousin proceeds to: choke one brother (who was barely in double digits) at least once and threaten to have our parents killed if she squeals on her shenanigans; accuse another brother of rape once when mad at him to later, when pressed, say, ?Oh that? I was just mad at him.?; seduce NA sponsor?s husband; steal one of my formal dresses, use it as a nightgown and destroy it, then claim so convincingly that her mother gave it to her before she moved in (she wasn?t even a teen) with my folks that I nearly believe her; when visiting me, makes out with a low-self-esteem classmate (enough that he avoided me and wore sunglasses), then apparently stalks said classmate the remainder of the visit and call-stalks when she returns home to my parents; sends me into my first uber-depression, to the point I didn?t want to wake up the next day; runs away with multiple 40-plus-year-olds (as a teen) but claims she doesn?t have a father complex; wants to have a baby so bad as a pre-driving teen that my mother convinces a doctor to give cousin ?THE shot? (not just A shot) without telling her; winds up in numerous juvy halls, with escalating levels of security; gets pregnant, uses meth and marijuana and such while pregnant, video tapes the graphics of childbirth and wants to show the world; starts stripping soon after childbirth; leaves child with random folks, eventually runs off, child?s father leaves 3-month-old baby with my parents, my parents end up adopting and raising said child, who is mere months older than my eldest, thus making my parents new parents/grandparents at the same time, and in effect making this kid my sister/niece/cousin/second cousin; cousin discovers baby not with baby daddy (baby daddy realized he wasn?t able to handle the situation and did a smart thing), cousin is mad and thinks my parents stole said child, and I get to worry whether cousin?s ?buddies? will ever help her with retribution; said cousin was eventually imprisoned under kidnapping (of an adult) charges, which she denies participating in. But lordy knows there?s something out there she didn?t get caught for. She now claims reformation ? and regrets all the scars she caused, but in the meanwhile ? she caused some doozies.

my cousin got pregnant and then married the father?a military guy (husband/guy #1). they had baby #1.she was 20. when the hubby was stationed overseas (6 months into the marriage), she cheated on him with another guy (guy #2) and moved in with him and divorced her first husband.

while she was with guy #2, she cheated on him and became pregnant with baby #2, but never told him that he wasn?t the father. they eventually split up, but his name was on baby #2?s birth certificate.

in the meantime, guy #2 took up with another girl, but she found out he was cheating on her and shot him with my cousin?s gun. guy #2 is now paralyzed from the neck down and lives in a nursing home.

cousin then moved and met another military guy who she then married (husband/guy #3)and he loved her kids as his own. in fact, he adopted baby #2 from the paralyzed supposed father. they then had another baby?baby #3.

so, 3 kids with 3 different fathers so far.

well, then, husband #3 got really sick and my cousin could not handle it?so, she cheated on him. he found out and went a little psycho but decided they should try to work it out and stay together.

wait?it gets better. they come down to stay at my house with the 2 younger children so that my cousin can go to her high school reunion. husband #3 decides to stay home with us. well, 4:00 in the morning rolls around and cousin is still not home, so hubby #3 starts to freak out. eventually, we see a car roll up my street and park a block away. hubby #3 starts to go outside to see if it is her and I talk him out of it?instead, I go!! and yes, you guessed it?she was in the car with some guy having sex with him!!

I opened the car door and yanked her out and told her to get dressed and in the house. In the meantime, hubby #3 is running around my house looking for a baseball bat. that was a fun night let me tell you!!

Needless to say, I don?t talk to my cousin any longer?but, I do still keep in touch with her ex-hubby #3. She is now re-married and has 2 more children with the new guy!!

Your job, dear readers, is to pass judgement on who has the strangest family.? All of my stories or either of these two single stories.?

If I win… well, I get to continue my bragging rights of I have the strangest family.? Leave your comments…now.
