[MrGoutHimself]

Wow, I could write novels on this shit, just within my own family, but also my wife's. My wife's mother died a few years ago from ALS, but her two aunts are alive. They married father and son.

My mother's mother was paranoid schizophrenic and also bipolar. I remember we went to visit my gramps for my 8th birthday and he got Nell (my grandmother) out of the nursing home for the party. About the time we were cutting the cake she walked into the kitchen, lifted her skirt, and pissed on the floor. She couldn't go into the bathroom because "they" were in there. Mom's bipolar too, and she's fine except when she refuses for months to take her prozac because it makes her crabby (she says). And then there's my father, normally the sane one in the bunch, who's spent most of the last year sending all of his money ($23755 total, some from retirement some from unemployment because he's out of work) to a "woman" he met online who was "from colorado but working in Nigeria." Shit, I'm crazier than a shithouse rat, but I'm the sanest one in my family in site.
