    I have an aunt who cut off the rest of the family and is living her own best life, and as revenge for that, when my grandfather died, the rest of her siblings gathered together and forged her signature on the inheritance documents, and screwed her out of her cut of 1.25 million dollars. (split 5 ways with two of the ways going to my mentally disabled uncle, instead of 6 ways the way it should have been)

    I was relatively young and didn’t realize how fucked that was until it was past the statute of limitations and nobody could do anything about it, but I will gladly report that every single one of my aunts and uncles wasted their money and had nothing to show for it within three years.

    However, I am sad to report that my evil grandmother, who was divorced from my grandfather, became the steward of the half million dollars that my mentally disabled uncle got, and it was all gone before she passed away.

  • Plus side of having LGBT parents is sometimes family gatherings at their place is just the queer family members, some of which don’t show up to the larger family gatherings. Its not always the case though and my parents are MAGA lesbians, but most of the rest of the family are further right than my parents and them hosting keeps away the worst of the worst.

      Yeah I’m reeling at the phrase ‘MAGA lesbians’. Just a wild concept that, unfortunately, doesn’t surprise me like it used to. My dad went from a pro-union man who moved out of West Virginia and despised the coal mines and their benefactors to sucking MAGA hose water by the gallon. Used to roll his eyes at trickle down economics and called my mother a moron for voting for Bush.

      I wish you the best and hope the cult ends with a peaceful and disappointing fizzle (and anyone in charge/positions of power or authority gets the old testament treatment they’ve been begging for others) and that everyone gets their loved ones back that want them back

    I’m incredibly distanced from the rest of my extended family. No one reaches out to me because they can’t, and I don’t reach out because they’re all fascists and I’m queer. This is how it should be. They don’t know my address or my contact info, and I wait patiently for their lives to end.

    Eh. YMMV.

    I’ve got an uncle in the FBI and another with some associations in organized crime. Neither liked one another and they both sucked shit.

      A fine rustling indeed. Your name reminds me of a certain type of flatulence from a certain ruler of hell.

          If you’re constantly singing his praises, and then when I ask you what he’s done, you come up with eggs? A fucking breakfast food? That’s what you’ve got?

            Eggs are more than just a breakfast food.

            I’ll have you know that they make fantastic breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks.

              You could have said “oh, I like how he’s making America a whites-only country,” or perhaps “now the transgender ideology people are getting what’s coming to them,” or even “I never liked the east wing anyway,” or “now I can do sexual offenses and it’s normalized,” but no.

              You fuckin’ like eggs.

              Didn’t realize that’s what it took to buy your vote, was eggs.

      My family does it non-sarcastically and sometimes it goes on long enough and I get mad enough to tell them to fuck off, which is apparently not a nice thing to say to an almost 70 year old woman.
