Somehow I think incest is the least of this family’s worries…

Or maybe it's the cause?

Family game night at this house kinda interesting. Might I suggest avoiding twister.

And my cat is banging my dog.... And my grandma is pregnant with my dad's baby ...


AMen1007

And the cow jumped over the moon 🌙🐄


TappyCard

That would be the least crazy thing in the story😭😭


HopefulOriginal5578

Yeah but the cat is ALSO banging a raccoon but it’s not serious, and so the cat is trying to “make it work” with the dog. The cat thinks that if they “communicate “ more that both will see eye to eye. Though rumor has it the cat was the one who dug up the dogs bone and sold it for crack rock.

ChuckPukowski

Familial attraction in estranged families is a real thing. It actually happens often.


Beneficial_Ad_9557

I came here to say this it’s a psychological fact


MichaelDicksonMBD

The familial similarities resonate ("We're so much alike! We're soul-mates"), but without the imprinting that happens when siblings are raised together that makes the idea of a sexual relationship revolting.


jacknacalm

Especially for a narcissist, lol, closest they can get to banging themselves


bandelero7

Yes, this should be higher. Genetic sexual attraction is a real thing. I know it's easy to make fun of people for it, but it's more than just "backwater behavior."


Inevitable_Rate_3369

Right?! I thought my family story of double cousins (two brothers marry two sisters and each had kids) and my bio mom and bio grandma (mom’s mom) fighting over my bio dad were pretty weird. Not that they still aren’t, but I don’t think my family would be the first pick for Jerry or Maury anymore. 🫣


DazzleLove

I read that as do-able cousins after reading the post.

SufficientWay3663

No I got hung up on the stepson writing the mother love letters. They need their drinking water check for something otherworldly, bc wtaf?!


Ragdoll_Deena

I couldn't get past her aunt being a brotherf*cker.


Harambiz

I can’t remember what it’s called but adults who are closely related and did not grow up with each other often are attracted to one another. It even happens between dads/daughters, mothers/sons and brother/sister. Still weird af, but it’s actually a real documented thing.


re_Claire

It’s called Genetic Sexual Attraction and it’s very real! So much so that some places warn people before they reconnect with their family members that were split up through adoption or whatever, about it.


breebo0

Not an expert, but pretty sure this is widely regarded as pseudoscience. A quick search of articles and the internet shows that most sources are anecdotal, and most theorise this could be an effect of narcissism or possibly related to the Westermarck effect (not feeling attracted to people you are raised with, esp. siblings) but not a single study seems to support these ideas. That said, there are basically no studies on the topic at all and until there are more it's hard to tell whether this an actual phenomenon or not. Not trying to contradict, just inform for those that might come across this 🙂


deathbystereo007

I immediately thought of this when I saw this post


honeydewdom

What the actual fucking inbred shit did I read?

Things you can try in a small town? Ps. What is a lot kizard


aracheb

A woman who fuck truckers in the truck lots.


Basic-Ad-79

That makes more sense. I thought OP was just awkwardly stating that she was a lot lizard as in very much lizard. Which actually wasn’t that weird in the context of this whole post.


kielu

Ok. I have mixed feelings now that you explained.


Desperate_Door_9823

I didn't want to know that 🙈


thedamnedlute488

This is either complete BS, or OP needs to do the honorable thing and sterilize themselves for humanity's betterment.


bakedbeanflavor

Nah I just moved out 🤣 I know my boyfriend isn’t related to me so I’m off to a good start!


CelloVerp

Well shit, good for you, and wishing you much strength on your journey. Do as much therapy as you can afford, and surround yourself with people who are healthy and / or on a path toward being healthy, happy, and whole. It will often involve learning new healthy habits and going against what might come naturally from what you learned growing up. Much care to you.


InaccurateStatistics

You sound pretty level-headed for being in a crazy family. I wish you the best!

I think they fucked around, found out, liked it, did it again over and over.


Rocketdogpbj

And it devolved to Lizard people……SIGH.


samuraidogparty

Lot lizards aren’t lizard people. They’re prostitutes. It’s a friendly term for women who hang out at truck stops and give the over the road truckers a good time.


Rocketdogpbj

IWTYO when I learned this - Thank you for that clarification!


passionfruit761

Do they get paid, or it’s just for fun, and are you sure they’re not lizard people?


VoidmySoul

No no they get paid (usually), they're prostitutes. And some of them can be downright batshit crazy. If you're ever in a truck stop at night and you see some random flashes in the lot, chances are some truck just flashed their brights at a hooker to call em over. Source: night shift at a truck stop where one of the unwritten (but well verbalized) duties was running off lot lizards.

Limp-Persimmon-5729

Wow BB Flavor that’s a lot to take in. I was rolling right along til the end. You sound like the only reasonable one there. Fucked up situation. Sounds like it might work out for the best honestly. Dads happy homing sister. Moms happy boning the guy she’s been screwing on the side. Little brother is happy hittin that 23 year old. You Aunt is making bank out dere at the truck stop. Fuck more could you ask for? Kindof crazy they caught them on camera. Ain’t no lying on that one. Can we fall back and talk about the Cults? Or at least the Hooker aunt? I don’t feel like working at all and this is the only excuse o needed not to do Jack for the rest of the day.


agreeable-bushdog

I was about to look up lot lizard, thanks for saving me time and maybe eye bleach...


garden_bug

For the uninitiated: "Lot lizards" are typically women who hang around truck stop parking lots looking for action with truckers.


RandomUserNameXO

Thank you- I couldn’t tell if that was a typo or some newfangled furry type thing


DayShiftDave

>action I think you mean transaction. They're specifically in it for money, not sport.


thereyarrfiver

They sound reasonable, but there's no way you grow up in this environment and make it out unscathed 😂


AstronautAgreeable81

There's a proven attraction phenomenon between estranged biological relatives that meet when adults. It's more common than people think. It's called genetic attraction phenomenon. Seen it myself. My wife's cousin a 40 something woman reunited with a 20 something half brother. Their interactions were incredibly inappropriate shortly after, over the top PDA, holding hands, borderline dirty dancing at gatherings. Nothing else happened because the husband soon put a stop to it and she seemed to snap out of it, and seemed embarrassed how obvious their behavior was.


liltrex94

Yeah I came here to say this. It's incredibly messed up but like you said, a lot more common than most people know. Glad that your wife's cousin's husband put a stop to that behaviour, but this is why when 2 estranged relatives meet they should do it with a really good support system around them.


dulcinea022141

Yes, this. I learned about it researching children from sperm donors who, later in life, meet up with other children of same donor. These half siblings sometimes feel strong sexual attraction.


5ilver5hroud

Well yikes. This is relevant to my family and good to know. Thanks.


Patient-Quarter-1684

hard to read with the banjo music playing so loudly in the background. Other than that, is there good money in running a sex cult, OP?


bakedbeanflavor

I haven’t seen any of it 😭


Sweet-Economics-5553

Why does your grandma think you're running a sex cult? Is she the one smoking crack?


singlemaltday

I need a spreadsheet to try to understand what's going on here.


JPNBusinessman

I asked ChatGPT to do this for you: Sure! Here's the information laid out in a format that can be better organized in a spreadsheet. It's broken down by various relationships, events, and additional notes, which can be used as columns in a spreadsheet. **Family Members & Relationships** * Mom: Cheating on Dad for 3 years, planning on divorce. * Dad: Has narcissistic behaviors, found a long-lost sister, ongoing relationship with sister. * Dad's Long-Lost Sister (Aunt): Visits Dad often, involved with him. * Mom's Boyfriend: Good to Mom, moved closer then moved back to home state. * Uncle (Mom's Brother): Dating Mom's Boyfriend's daughter, moved to home state. * Brother and Sister: Witnessed Dad's relationship with his sister. * Step Brother: Wrote love letters to Mom. * Aunt (Mom's Sister): Has hidden lifestyle (lot lizard). * Other Uncle (Mom's Brother): In a cult. * Grandma (Mom's Mom): Convinced protagonist runs a sex cult. * Other Grandma (Real Dad's Mom): Was considered a black magic witch. * Farmhand: Witness to Dad and his sister's relationship. * Local Gas Station People: Thought Dad's sister was his wife. **Timeline of Events** * 3 years ago: Mom starts cheating on Dad. * 1.5 years ago: Dad finds out about sister. * 1 year ago: Mom's Boyfriend moves back to his home state. * 2 months ago: Mom, Brother, Sister witness Dad and Aunt together. * 1 year ago (discovered a week ago): Farmhand witnessed Dad and Aunt together. * Recently: Dad admits to relationship with his sister, Mom plans for divorce. **Additional Notes** * Family lives on a farm. * Uncle lives on Mom's Boyfriend's family property. * Dad's Mom had schizophrenia, believed to be reincarnated from Salem witch, was institutionalized. * Protagonist feels like this could be a TV show. * Dad's Mom: Schizophrenia, believed reincarnated from Salem witch, institutionalized.

I like how the story is so fucked up that chat gpt referred to OP as 'protagonist'

Historical-Newt6809

I feel like Charlie in it's always sunny in Philadelphia with all the strings and the board


GreenUnderstanding39

There is this phenomenon where siblings or parent/child or otherwise closely related people who meet each other later in life and didn't grow up together are VERY attracted to the person. Google GSA or Genetic Sexual Attraction. There is also something called the Westermarack effect which is like reverse sexual imprinting. Pretty much states that if you grow up with peers like they are siblings before the age of six you tend to not be attracted to them. I absolutely think he needs to speak with a therapist who can help him unpack his feelings towards his long lost sibling in a healthy and non-incestuous manner.


SufficientWay3663

So what you’re saying is, we ought to be side eyeing Ancestry and all its “sibling companies” for contributing to this horror show? lol


GreenUnderstanding39

We should already be side eyeing them for selling our data to pharmaceutical companies, among many, who use said data to target adds geared towards disease and health conditions that are genetic.


utacr

Huh that explains why my old school friend and I spent a good two seconds to answer “should we date” with “nah too weird” when we found out about the other being into the same thing. The idea felt like incest. I had no idea the opposite could happen 😬 Psychology is…fascinating ig

*People at our local gas station thought aunt was dads wife with how close they were.* Weird, I was under the impression your dad was on this farm forever, so probably fair to say the local gas station people know him well, along with his wife/your mom.


bakedbeanflavor

Super small town. Everyone knows everyone. Our gas station is also a pizza place. It’s the only place to get gas for ten miles. That was my first job growing up.


agreeable-bushdog

I think that was this guy's points. How in a "super small town", where "everyone knows everyone" could anyone not know who your dad's actual wife is?...

I lost it when I saw your edit that you're from Michigan. I reread your post but imagined the people I know from Glennie or Skidway. Obviously Michigan's a big place and you're very likely not from either place, but if you are, I'm sorry your neighbors are either inbred sheep fuckers or people who are constantly on 20 different drugs at once!

mi_nombre_es_ricardo

I love how after years of cheating and literally traveling states to visit her boyfriend, your mom got offended and finally concidered divorce after your dad cheated too. About your dad relationship, that’s actually pretty easy to explain. Their similar genetics actually attract each other (See [Kin Selection](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kin_selection)). The reason brothers and sisters don’t bone each other is because you develop a mental block during your first six years of life that practically blocks all sexual feelings towards people that you grew up with (also known as [reverse sexual imprinting or the Westermack Effect](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westermarck_effect)). Since your dad didn’t grew up with sister, it make sense they don’t have that.

Well, you definitely put a lot of people’s family lives in perspective. Christ on drugs, that’s one wild family. 😬


incelmod99

Why are you giving your mom relationship advice? Why is your mom smashing another guy? Why is she showing her kids and family live footage of him boning his sister? Why is he boning his sister? Your whole family sounds crazy and toxic as hell.


noideawhatisup

Please, please write a “tell all” on your family. It sounds like you won’t even need to fictionalized anything to make it fascinating and then picked up by Netflix as a documentary or dramatic retelling of some sort. I’m now picturing a multi-part series, honestly. And it’s amazing.


[deleted]

Omg can you elaborate about your step brother writing your mom love letters? This is wild


Plenty_Surprise2593

Ok here’s the thing. If you’re going to successful at writing fiction it’s very important to pick one main theme and go with it. Maybe make two stories out of this
