Hopefully people here dun kno be... but if u do, keep it on the low.. lol
Ok anyway, lets all share stories about our familes;
My family:
Dad - Owns & runs a few fairly successful businesses.. earns a fair bit, but is kinda weird. While most people.. even young people spend most of their money on themselves, he simply won't do it. His car while being a nice car, is no where near what he could have it seems at least because he is embarassed about what his employee's will think of him with a really nice car. He simply treats his workers too nicely, every worker.. some that are still 1st year apprentices get to take home utes, trucks some brand new holden SS utes for his executives, who do the same work admitidly as he does in the morning on his own.
Mum - used to suffer from agrophobia however has gotten over this, pretty normal these days.
Older Brother - Was a heroine addict from age 17-23, stole, abused my parents, moved out to live with a hooker (yes a real hooker). These days is doing much better, but is still a drunk and we believe he could be doing the drugs again, have caught him with speed that he claimed he was 'holding for a friend'. When the drama was at its peak between him and my parents, i recalled some memories from my past, i can remember now when i was younger him sexually abusing me in various serious ways.. I have gone to my parents however they thought it was more a case of him simply touching me places.. nothing as serious as it truely was. I now put up with him living down the hall from me, it doesn't bother me that much really... but hey u can never know what damage has been done can you?
Younger Brother - He seems to be ok... for now, he's a bit spun out from the period when my brother was on drugs, as one time when my mother had gone over to give some food he had chased them both out onto the street and into their car, yelling.
Pop on my Mothers Side - Constantly calls up, writes letters to the hospital as his wife (my nan) died of a heart failure during surgery. He has dug up her ashes from the cementary and has placed them in his house, not allowing my mother or her brothers to go to 'visit' their mum.
Eldest Uncle on my Mothers Side - Started up a big resturant, it was a failure as he never paid any of his debts.. he made alot of enemies so he fled to queensland. Eventually he lost his kids, and was put in a mental institution when he threatened to kill himself.
My dad brought him tickets to come down here by plane to live with us, he was allowed to live with us for over a year, dad employed him and gave him training. His kids came down and often my parents would be left having to pay for their whole time down here, because he would often lose money. He is a compulsive gambler and a liar, my dad let him and my dad's brother (my uncle) run the escavation business on their own for a while... They didn't tell dad when they had done jobs, took the money for themselves.
He quit without even giving my parents warning, he never talks to us except for when his kids are down so that they can come here and actually have a fun time.
Youngest Uncle on my Mothers SideThis guys done it all, covered head to toe in tattoo's, tho i do like him much more than my other uncle on my mum's side. When he was 25 he fell off a motorcycle (riding without a helmet) and suffered brain damage. He was a member of the Rebels (bikey gang) at the time. He won a Compensation payout of $600,000. With that he brought himself a nice house, new bike, he had his life made for him... But these girls kept comming into his life, and he'd give them everything.. In the end he was stuck with an aboriginal wife, who also had kids and who's family were as he says "a pack of pricks", basically into alot of crime.
Once the money dried up the girls moved on, the last one he was with.. the aboriginal one , ended up ODing on something with her other partner (cheating on him).
He started firing a gun into the air in his house, he was commited to killing himself (or at least he thought so), the cops came in to get him... we actually have tape of one of them going over the fence and half way over getting the middle of their pants stuck on the barbed wire.. that musta hurt.
Anyway he was commited to a mental institution for a while, then long bay gaol... when often his only vistor was my mum. He got into alot of fights with that womans aboriginal family...
Anyway he now drives hookers all around sydney, asian hookers to be exact. It's really worrying when he tells you that your next door neighbour (that only just got married and has kids), was delievered a hooker just a few months ago... just before his wedding.
It's also a worry when he talks about being left alone to mind the brothel and guys come in with guns.. and he thinks he could have 'taken the guns off them'.
Last we heard he was planning on doing a scam where they pay him $20,000 to allow a woman to come live with him, be his bride so she can get citizenship.
Youngest Uncle on my Fathers side - Compulsive gambler, always lies... his latest lie about why he lost his pay was "i shat my pants and threw it away with them".
My dad has confronted him numerous times, when he does he just becomes an arrogant prick not willing to face his problems... which is annoying.
Dad's honestly been trying to help him out for 10 years, buying christmas presents for his daughter, making sure they have food, and yet he has often stolen from my dad..
When he went away to Queensland this year, spending his long-service money (which he really could of used elsewhere as he needs to pay off an already reposessed car debt and pay his rent, electricity...phone bills). He went through over $7000 in a week, staying at a friends place...That's just crazy gambling.
There's much much more i could post... but hey i'm sure other people have weird/crappy members of their families that they'd like to talk about too.
