        Lol, too much pregnancy or lesser likelihood of pregnancy. There’s just no winning.

          it’s more warped than that. the anti-teen pregnancy parents where themselves kicked out for committing the same teenage pregnancy and it’s been happening for 5 generations so far.

          its like watching generational trauma on meth since it literally happens every 14 or 15 years and to everybody and the thought process is just a completely circularly reasoned clusterfuck like our elections every time; i will never be able to see how kicking out your daughter is supposed to help when all it does is, effectively, deprive them of things she needs for her and her child’s future (their grandchild) like an education for that future; a stable and nurturing home environment; access to medical care; a built in family based support system; etc.

          watching my family repeat this surprise-to-kickout-to-squabbling-to-truce cycle every 14 or 15 years informs my opinions of the phrase “history repeats itself” and i wish that the education that would help prevent us from repeating this history wasn’t so difficult to realize for everybody.

    My uncle landed himself in jail after getting drunk and beating up his 19 year old son. His wife has refused to leave him so while we haven’t cut her off completely it’s weird now. There was a big rift when my mom said he wasn’t invited to Christmas. Also, my grandmother (my aunt and my dad’s mom) died a few months ago and we found out that my aunt had been taking a lot of money from her over the years as well.

    One family member is disowned by 2 of her 3 children and by proxy, 2 of her grandchildren as well. She’s just one of those people who can excuse anything. She’s an alcoholic, she’s mean to people, and she’s selfish. She has one son left making an effort, but it’s pretty pointless.

    One of her other kids that disowned her is turning out the same way. He’s disowned both his parents and keeps finding new ways to be angry at the world. He keeps making excuses and justifying his anger and eventually will have no one left. The only time he reaches out to family is when he needs something, so they are all on thier last straw already. He’s borrowed money from them by falsely using his brother’s name, stolen from family, made an ass out of himself at every turn, and still thinks all his problems are everyone else’s fault.

    My uncle is banned from any and all family functions. He’s an angry conspiracy whackjob, the prototype to the modern MAGA chuds. He was delusional, he was violent, and he would push his insane conspiracies onto everyone without consent.

    Nearly every family get-together that he attended, he turned it into chaos, violence, and rage. The final straw was when he hard slapped my 8 year old little brother across the face for playing some phone game.

    That was about ten years ago.Occasionally he’ll call my dad (his brother) asking for money or if he can visit, but dad never forgave him for the slap.

    I have absolutely no idea. I’m the youngest person in the family and everyone thinks of me as the baby. So no one ever told me what the beef is with this one family in the tree, but I know no one talks to them.
