Unfortunately, I have to say yes to this. Getting this fact straight..I'm as innocent as a bird my whole life!
One of many reasons, I practically have two families. My mom's side of the family is the goodie2shoe side, religious/college materials. My dad's? That's why I'm here in this thread. I have no interaction/respect/love toward my relatives on my dad's side of the family (Even my dad would agree, must be in the blood of his ex-wife's). The siblings of my dad's side, I have 3 brothers & one sister. Only one brother is completely clean with his own family.
Okay let's see here, ready for this? Back when I was 4, my oldest brother was playing cards with my oldest sister on my mom's side & my mom. My oldest sister was pregnant at the time, but my brother randomly decided to take out a knife & tried to stab himself. I don't know who got arrested or how this went to court, but it did. My mom almost went to jail if it wasn't for my dad to step in and confess the truth. My brother in recent years also went in jail for bank robbery and so forth. He's real corrupted, apparently.
My other brother, my "long-lost" brother is in a gang. I deny that I'm related, but that's only because my dad got a woman pregnant inbetween his last & current marriage. He got caught for possession of weed & being a gangster he is, I wouldn't doubt he got in trouble for doing other horrible things.
Now my lone sister on my dad's family, has had many fights with 3 out of 4 of my sisters on my mother's side. She had seen him for 20+ years & I won't go into details with this, but her boyfriend attempted to jump on my sisters on my mom's side. Then she saw what was going on, the boyfriend lied & turned the story back at them, she believed them, bad fist fights going on, police were called, its chaos, really. I was only in the Kindergarten years so..yeah.
Also my sister & her boyfriend, their son is not only the most annoying person ever, but he thinks everything revolves around him. He runs away from the police whenever they chase him, whenever he sees one, he hides. Whenever I try to do something that he thinks the Police will get me into trouble because I'm with him, I have to do everything by his standards(So glad I cut my ties with him, good riddance!). He got pulled over without his permit, had to go to jail for 10 days for a fine. Getting busted with weed as well, he got in trouble many times in school for fights, which involved the police. House arrest more than when I lost count. He's only 18 now, he'll achieve so much with all this juvenile record he's already have. Troublemakers. He has beat/abuse his son's mother also. She kept leaving, saying its over but keeps going back to him. He's one of those. -_-
So yeah, hope you enjoy this story haha. Like I said, I cut these guys out of my life long ago, I never go to there parties with my dad or anything. I leave when they visit my parents. When they say you have to love your family with all your heart? Well in most cases it may be true, but I guess its a rare thing to prove that's not true. Trust me, its not fun. ;;
