I'm definitely ostracized from factions of my family. I have no clue why it became so extreme.

Funny thing is... My sister, 5 years older, is like a "bestie" to many of my nieces. Despite the fact that she sexually abused me when I was about 10-12 years old.

I bet if they knew and believed me... Shit might flip faster than those stupid bottle flip TikTok insanity.

I have an aunt who cut off the rest of the family and is living her own best life, and as revenge for that, when my grandfather died, the rest of her siblings gathered together and forged her signature on the inheritance documents, and screwed her out of her cut of 1.25 million dollars. (split 5 ways with two of the ways going to my mentally disabled uncle, instead of 6 ways the way it should have been)

I was relatively young and didn't realize how fucked that was until it was past the statute of limitations and nobody could do anything about it, but I will gladly report that every single one of my aunts and uncles wasted their money and had nothing to show for it within three years.

However, I am sad to report that my evil grandmother, who was divorced from my grandfather, became the steward of the half million dollars that my mentally disabled uncle got, and it was all gone before she passed away.

I’m incredibly distanced from the rest of my extended family. No one reaches out to me because they can’t, and I don’t reach out because they’re all fascists and I’m queer. This is how it should be. They don’t know my address or my contact info, and I wait patiently for their lives to end.

Plus side of having LGBT parents is sometimes family gatherings at their place is just the queer family members, some of which don't show up to the larger family gatherings. Its not always the case though and my parents are MAGA lesbians, but most of the rest of the family are further right than my parents and them hosting keeps away the worst of the worst.

Eh. YMMV.

I've got an uncle in the FBI and another with some associations in organized crime. Neither liked one another and they both sucked shit.

My family hates when I talk about how awesome Trump is so now I just do a Friendsgiving with like-minded people.

Eh I wouldn't count on that. It's not like assholes all get along with one another.

TIL tbh
