How fucked up is your family's past?

I must say, mine is pretty much fucked over. My father, step-grandmother, and step-grandfather have all been in the newspaper (on the front page). My grandmother and grandfather are both insane. Half of my cousins were abused and neglected, the other half sexually assaulted. My mother has MS, and basically went blind for a week before we found out. I may possibly have suppressed memories of sexual abuse, and that's possibly why I'm so fucked in the head.

My inspiration for this post: In 1986, my father (un-named but there) was in the Fremont Argus newspaper and the San Jose Mercury News for being involved in a murder. No, he did not commit it himself, but get this: His girlfriend did. His squeeze at the time stabbed a foreign exchange student named Junko Owaki to death and stole $2,000 dollars from her.

Here's a portion of the article:

NOT ENEMIES, BUT FRIENDS SUSPECTED IN GIRL'S DEATH

Those who knew her best say that Japanese exchange student Junko "Jane" Owaki didn't have an enemy in the world.

But according to Fremont police, the 18-year-old Irvington High School senior, an aspiring artist and rock 'n' roll fan, did have some poorly chosen friends. It was Owaki's friends, they say, who slashed and stabbed her more than 50 times to steal $2,000 she had withdrawn from the bank to pay for automobile repairs.

The article later goes on to state that Gina (the squeeze) and her star football player boyfriend (My dad) dumped the body after Gina and her druggie friends killed Junko. Gina is still in jail to this day.

Seriously, M.B.
