Why is my family so fucked up?

I have found that listening to classic ACDC takes all the pain away

Ride On...

lester's or the neighbor's?

maybe if you werent so wasted your life would be better?

bah

Where to begin......Heres the short version. My Dad swore of contact with almost all humans. Preferring to dedicate his life to taking care of horses. My Mother was always gone working. My sister has six kids she abandoned leaving them in a house by themselves while she was doing who knows what. They are now in the custody of my 86 year old grandmother who is legally blind. My other sister stabbed my brother in the chest during a dispute. God there's to much to go into. People wonder why they will never meet the vast majority of my family.

people suck

which ones? As a "people" I'm offended.

I care not if you are offended, I am sad and I shall spew my bile. In my current solipsistic agony I will rant and whine until i feel better.

My sister is becoming increasingly more unstable and I fear she is going to start using meth again.
My parents are trying to raise her two kids along with my little brother.
My best friend is engaged to her uncle who is a controlling, jealous, ugly little man. They have been dating a year and he doesn't like her talking to me and has thrown conniption fits the two times she has visited me in the last year. I am the last of her friends who will talk to her (her family isn't speaking with her) and she not only refuses to see the huge red flags of psychoness waving, she is going to Canada this week to marry him because it's illegal in the state they are living in. (I claim her as family and reserve the right to include her in this thread topic.)

My dad made my mother and I move to Louisiana when I was 16 because I was having "social problems" in TN. We lived on pennies for a few years because we thought his law firm back home wasn't doing very well. Actually, he was hoarding millions of dollars in a secret bank account, keeping my mother and I starving so when the inevitable divorce came, he wouldnt have to split it with her. And when they did divorce he revealed that he was leaving my mother for a woman half his age, and that he'd been cheating on her for 5 years.

I was raised by a single parent lesbian depressed overprotective mom. but I'm pretty happy with the way I turned out.

My dad smuggled drugs for years and was busted when I was a baby. He spent my toddler years behind bars.
(My mother divorced him before he got caught.)

I used to think my family was fucked up, then I realized that we are all human and that we all make mistakes.

but to give an example

my dad is an alcohol who beat shit out of me once because he thought that the aspirins in my room were crack, he also told me my mom was a hooker. (isnt it funny how divorce brings out the best in people.)
my step mom read every single note i ever got, and then told me my friends and boyfriend hated me.
My mom constantly talks shit about my dad. (it gets really annoying to hear your father is a lying bastard...)
Both of my parents try to play me off the other parent, and hey I dont let them because they hate each other, and i dont hate either of them, so i just listen and roll my eyes.
my sister has absolutely no personality.
and well my brother is cool as shit, but reminds me of me
and oh yeah I have a huge ego.

These just scratch the surface and arent the worst things, but some things are private.

I dont know..it was these things that helped me become who i am and i dont know that i would change it for anything
