Family

Family with a capital F.

I'm not talking siblings and parent type family, oh no.
I'm talking, uncles, blasted cousins, aunts that type of crappy Family.

That type of family you spell with the same F as F***.
That type of Family is either a blessing or a curse.
In my case its the latter. You cringe to own them as relations to you.
Rotten luck. Rotten heads. Rotten people.

Its these types of Family that makes one understand quotes like:
'friends are God's apology for relations'

So true.

But the worst part is not admitting that you own this relations,
not even when strangers may step back with frowns when they ask,
'You're the niece of so-and-so?' or 'You're first cousins with them?' and then with raised eyebrows, 'No kidding! we'll be seeing you..' and you'll never see them again.

But when you see the flash of 'something' in your parent's eyes(the parent who owns this relation of course) that closely resembles hurt. Or when us siblings rant about what arseholes said Family is, and then the same parent says, 'He's still my brother you know...' and laugh it off.

But its not a bloody laugh.
Its a pity, that your parent has that excuse for a sibling with such a rotten brain.

So there all you imaginary folks who can sympathize, nod vigorously and rant along with me!

See ya!
