This is going to be the type of story that will take a while to unfold. Grab your popcorn, snuggle up with your blanket, and get prepared to vicariously live this rollercoaster I call life. An introduction to the few key players is necessary so you can follow along. On second thought, we will wait to give out everyone's role so I don't overwhelm my audience! Let us start with my immediate family. We have myself, I'm Kristine (waves), then we have my husband, Victor, and 3 out of 8 kids live with us. Those kids include Ben, who is 4, and a set of identical twins Brynn and Eliza. Then we have my in-laws...whooooooooooo weeeeeeeeee my inlaws. Where do I start? They are filled with drug addiction, mental illness, and instability that rocks my boat because we live way to close to them. Walking distance to be exact. These mental illnesses include paranoid delusions, accusations of cloning and murder, and knock down drag out arguments on a moments notice. It is always something with them. That does not include the financial burden that falls on us because they refuse to pay bills. THATS RIGHT! Basic human needs fall to the wayside to make room for the constant euphoria of drugs and alcohol. I understand, not having a job, living in a house that is paid for, and having everything handed to you has to be inherently stressful. That sounds like the perfect reason to live in a drug-induced haze. Who is next? Ah, my family. My family who also lives within walking distance but can not be bothered to come to our house and help. My father runs himself into the ground to keep my mom ignorant and high after her health incident. My uncle lives with my parents and helps where he can, you just never know what kind of mindset he will be in. Cue my brother. My brother used to be my best friend until he turned into a self-absorbed asshole that decided my problems shouldn't consume him. At first glance, it seems like I have a happy little family right? Our story is filled with heartbreak, heartache, love, loss, fights, physical abuse, emotional abuse, losing children, gaining children, false imprisonment, wrongful incarceration, attempted murder, rape, child abuse, brain injury, mental illness, suicide attempts, hospitalizations, and so much more. Obviously, this will be along series of posts. I will do the best I can to provide the backstory as well as keep up the daily pops of drama that occur. Is there even a sibscribe or follow button on here?
