The last story about op who lost his younger sibling in a car crash needs to hire a private investigator to find the truth about why nobody wanted to place a tombstone at the cemetery for the young sibling

[BonnaKelley]

I thought my family was messed up, but these families are off the chart. Except for the Dic-Pic Auntie. Her I wish I had.

Fun fact: 90% of veterans and service members never saw/ see combat and are desk jockeys (infantry troops aren't used much in today's combat), and majority of the enlisted never even leave US soil.

People really should be more skeptical who they venerate as war heroes.

[CrystalNibarger]

To that last story, they want to call him all these names but that doesn't mean that baby brother doesn't deserve a tombstone that's pretty fucked up.

My great-grandmother killed my great-grandfather. She left the gas stove on before leaving to hang out with her friends, and when he came in with a lit cigarette in his mouth, he died in an explosion. Everyone knew it. Her family, her friends, and even the cops. But they could never charge her because the evidence was all circumstantial. It would’ve been the perfect crime too, except she didn’t check to see if he still had a life insurance policy.

Edit: So I asked my mother, and she said her aunt, these guys’ daughter, did confirm that Great-Grandma did outright admit that she killed Great-Grandpa because she thought there was money to be had.

My favorite mentor was a closeted lesbian. It seemed pretty obvious, everyone “knew” (assumed, and the assumption was accurate) when my Mentor confided that her “roomate” was her life partner of many years I simply said “You know that stuff is more accepted now right? You see how open I am about my sexuality and everyones cool with it” her response was “I know, but I come from a different generation, its easier this way. Thank you for letting me admit this out loud” 😭 she never developed the confidence to say “Girlfriend” but she became ALOT more open that she was more than a “Roomate” and started referring to her as her “Life Partner”. It was major for her realizing she could be accepted as herself

[TomSketchit]

For the Aunt Alice story, my guess would be mistaken identity. I say this as someone who has a history of being mistaken for someone else (the short version: I work at a grocery store, there's a guy who works at another branch of the same chain who looks almost identical to me, I've met him and the resemblance is honestly kind of freaky)

[spidrscared]

Just dawned on me that he said “suicide” instead of “unalive”

[BunnyQueen]

There’s actually a phenomenon among family separated at birth that when they reunite, there are often romantic feelings. Our wires get crossed, and we’re ultimately most attracted to ourselves so seeing someone who looks like us can trigger attraction. But I think MOST people are emotionally mature enough to realize this and not act on those feelings 🥴

Strangely, I've never felt so normal and well-adjusted as I do after hearing these stories.

My grandmother was pregnant with another mans baby when marrying my grandfather.
My aunt.. is more "tan" and taller than her siblings like my mom.. my grandmother would unironically quote the bible and tell us to live by it. While she got married pregnant with another man's baby and ended up divorces twice

And my mom, in true psycho fashion, purposely got pregnant at 18 with my oldest sister, refused to tell the dad, let my sister grow up thinking this other man my mom married was her biological dad even after they divorced, got back with the real dad then introduced him as her REAL DAD during a school play right before my sister went on stage and she ended uo throwing up everywhere and she hated him for like 20 years.

Her dad is my dad lol my mom got back with him, married him, then had 3 more kids with him and still introduces my dad as "the love of her life" even though they divorced when i was 12.

My mom abd grandmother are INSANE

The step-family story: That ain't a family tree that is a family tumbleweed.

[lancerevell]

One of my maternal cousins did the ancestry thing, and found that my maternal Grandmother had a daughter before she married Grandpa. This bring the 1930s, such things were thought badly of. The child was given up for adoption. So decades later, we find out about her. The family welcomed her, and she attended a family reunion. She was already older with husband and grown kids. My Sis and I called her our "Half-Aunt". She was a nice lady. Sadly she has passed some years back.

[chrstfer]

The murder one: those other family members were covering up for the killer, obviously.

[AsheReads]

Re the last story:
I lost a younger cousin when I was around 4 or 5 years old. She wasn't even a full year old yet.
From what I remember being told, her dad (my aunt's bf at the the time) was up with her after she woke up in the middle of the might trying to get her to go back to sleep. He then fell asleep himself on the couch while my cousin roamed around in the living room, got a small object in her mouth and it asphixiated her.
She would've been about 23 years old today, and even though that bf is no longer in my aunt's life, the family still wants his head. 😤

This whole video can be described with Weird Al lyrics:

Cousins ticks: Tick 1: its nuts that we all got on the same guy
Tick 2: speaking of nuts... you are not going to believe this...

[ladyofrillwater]

My parents were both married when they met and fell in love.

My dad was only technically married: he was active duty and back in the late 80s-early 90s, single active duty folks where he was stationed would get married legally but live together as roommates in on-base housing. They got their BAH and didn't have to live in the dorms.

Mom, though, was formally married to a guy.

Apparently she told her ex-husband before it got physical and divorced him, but my dad courted her for awhile before that so definitely an emotional affair.

But they've been together for the last 30 years. Three successful, happy kids. And my mom reconciled with her ex-husband and I guess they're friends now? He got re-married, had kids. So all's well that ends well, I guess.

I see it's an Alabama special edition of an episode.

Uncle killing the murderer: why did the family rush to call the cops like he did anything wrong?
