Family Secretssss!!
Tumblr is my only release as family has taken over every other social networking area. My father absolutely HATES my mother’s father (and most of her family). He literally told me 45 minutes of dastardly stories detailing my Grandfather’s lousy personality. Examples:
- Bringing his child (my uncle) on a hunting trip to a lodge, telling him to bring no one. Upon arrival, there is only room for one person at the lodge. My grandfather sent my uncle back to the car because “this is hunting, and I need to sleep”.
- Failing to attend the first communion of my older brother because he had an important fishing trip. Let’s add in my older brother is autistic for good measure.
- Declaring he couldn’t buy Christmas gifts because his children were in college although all of them were on full scholarship and working. Later, my father discovered him sneaking a box of envelopes and liquor bottles to his bedroom. My grandfather was the grand master fantastico postal worker in his town. He was hiding gifts. (My father stated: “I should have punched the god damn bastard in the mouth. Instead, I told him to get the fuck away from me.”)
- On a hunting trip with my father he refused to sit still. He wandered around sipping whiskey. As a deer ran up the mountain my Grandfather shot up at the deer, falling and sliding OVER THE SHELLS FROM THE BULLETS HE WAS SHOOTING OMFG CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW FUCKING DANGEROUS THIS IS WTF?!?!?
- After a postal worker holiday party, my Grandfather left so wasted he smashed his car into three others and then wrapped it around a pole. He was arrested and charged with a DWI. My mother got him out of it because somehow, she was working with the mayor of the town.
- When my uncle moved into the house next door to my grandparents, MY GRANDFATHER PUT HIS MORTGAGE ON MY UNCLES!!! They share the same name. For a full year, my uncle paid my Grandfather’s mortgage…………WTF!!!
This is just the tip of the iceberg. I honestly am just frightened. My father’s side of the family is jovial, generous, and party happy. My mother’s is greedy, snide, and downright hateful. I’m astounded by how my mother turned out. She is kind to me, courageous, and decent. Jesus Christ though, THANK GOD, I have a hearty mix.
