I killed the MMP. :eek:
I hate you, too.
Not about me - my family is pretty tame, all things considered.
But many years ago I had a close friend from work. He was married, two kids, the whole domesticated life scene going on.
So I was absolutely floored when he told me that he had not one, but TWO other families: one in the Philippines (two kids) and one in Hong Kong (one kid), but from -after- he had gotten married. He wasn’t married to either of the other two women, but still needed to send child support etc. Of course it all caught up to him and he he had to go through a very messy, expensive divorce when the mistress (?) from the Philippines tracked him down at his home and woke the entire family up at 10pm, kid in tow.
He has since moved to Hong Kong to live with…yet another woman from the Philippines. Apparently he felt his life wasn’t complicated enough…
We don’t talk much any more…
I’d like to add:
my 21-year-old sister has had problems with opiates for the last 5 years and ODed about 5 times;
I recently discovered my father is at the least bisexual (which he may not have been in the past; he had a massive brain injury about 10 years ago and it’s possible this affected his sexuality) because my youngest sister discovered he’s been using Craigslist for casual sexual encounters with men;
my aunt was schizophrenic and killed herself on a hiway;
my great-grandmother probably had OCD and spent lots of time in and out of mental hospitals due to breakdowns involving paranoid delusions;
But I still don’t think I beat Mississippienne. There’s rather a lack of murderers/criminals in my family (thank god!)
