Family drama

They put the fun in dysfunctional! 

I just found out yesterday that loser cousin is KU but her loser BF.  Neither of them have a job, they live with his parents and she's a pretty severe pill head.  He refuses to work and doesn't have a drivers license because he won't pay child support for the 2 kids that he already has.  She claims to be bi-polar.  I think it's a misdiagnosis.  IMO she has depression and anger management/impulse control issues that she refuses to deal with and refuses to take meds but uses the diagnosis as a reason to not work or take care of herself. I feel so sorry for that poor baby will be born into.

Now I get to work everyday to pay for 3 relatives to sit on their a$$es and get a check for no valid reason.

Thank goodness that I moved away from all the craziness.

Re: Family drama

  • Sounds grand! Take some comfort in knowing that just about every family seems to have an "I am bipolar, have a boyfriend with no job and I like to have babies" person in it. So at least you're not alone in the deadbeat relative department.

  • I would be thanking my lucky stars that I had arm's length distance from this if I were you. At least they aren't under your roof or dipping into your wallet (beyond taxpayer duties).

    Although, I think I'd be setting up an emergency "I just became legal guardian of my second cousin" fund to prepare for DCFS asking if you're available to take the baby when it's removed from their custody.

  • I find that when we don't have family drama happening, something is usually pretty wrong.  Its usually H's bro that is the center of some major catastrophe, but my sis ranks right up there, too.

    I can't keep up with the stuff that goes on between his family and mine half the time.

  • I've always wondered how two people came can from the saem set of parents, be raised in the same house at the same time, and end up so drastically different. Almost polar opposite different. One who is strong willed, independent and has trouble accepting help and another who has the "worst luck" (ahem...) and wants to sit back while others take care of them.
