    At this point I’m just like, come at me. Oh, incest? Is that the best you’ve got? Bigamy? Unregistered adoptions? Child’s play.

    You wanna know the worst of it all?

    Mum was always interested in the family history, but the older generations were VERY cagey about it all. When mum’s nana died, mum went around to the house where the will had just been read out to her grandfather. He told her, “your grandmother wrote you a letter explaining the family history and left it in with the will for me to give to you. But I was too incriminating to too many people, so I burnt it.”

    To this day, when me and my cousins get together we get drunk and ask each other

    What 👏 was 👏 in 👏 the letter 👏???

      Burnt it? How dare they! That’s going against a deceased person’s wishes! For shame. No disrespect to your grandpa intended, but I feel almost superstitious about that stuff. As executor of my late mother’s will, there were things I didn’t agree with, but in the end they were her wishes and not mine.

        You’re not the only one. Without wanting to reveal too many details, a will was Not Followed when the house came to be sold and the proceeds divided. Things that have happened in the families that were a party to it or colluded were… not good.

      At this point I can only assume the sorts of shenanigans previously only known to the greek pantheon
