benefits of good male sitter are tremendous (my roommate was a good christbro, good with kids), sometimes more so than female. don't let the fear get you, bros.

Mom told us that when she was a kid, she had some crooked teeth. My grandfather made her go to the dentist and get them all pulled and have them replaced with dentures so she'd be "able to find a man" or some such thing.
My grandfather was kind of quiet and spooky. Very stern and no tolerance for anything he considered nonsense. Fought in WW2 and never spoke about it once. He died of Alzheimer's in his 80s.

I hope that the number of fucked up families, molestations, and rapes being reported here is skewed due to the fact that people who come from largely normal families aren't jumping in to post "Everything was fine and dandy, nothing to report." again and again.

My maternal grandfather was in the war as well, one of I think only 2 survivors in his air force squadron, I never met him that I remember so I can't say for sure, but from what I've gathered he was a heavy drinker afterwards, which created a lot of conflict between him and my grandmother/mother. I always had a vague idea of what had happened, but I was really surprised when my dad casually mentioned the other day that he only met the man twice, I hadn't realized just how estranged he'd been.

I know very little detail about his time 'over there'. I know he was in the army infantry and served in France, so was likely in the thick of some heavy stuff.
We weren't real Clannish with extended family, that is to say we never lived down the street from, or even in the same states as Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and whatnot; my memories are restricted to yearly visits which I did treasure.
But when I look back at how quiet and weird my Grandfather seemed, I suppose the whole PTSD thing jumps to mind.

I have no way to verify any of this, as I obviously wasn't alive, but to hear her tell it, my great aunt (we're from Germany, she's still alive) had her whole family slaughtered in front of her by Allied troops in 1945. She had a younger brother who was 13 at the time, who was outside doing farm work when the military moved through, and they just shot him. None of them had weapons, and she says she doesn't know if they thought he was armed, couldn't tell at the distance they were, or just didn't care. The troops moved into the farm and her parents were obviously hysterical about losing their son, and when they wouldn't calm down someone apparently decided that they would be too big of a security risk to deal with so they just lined them up against a wall and shot them. She didn't get shot because she reacted by just being really quiet and not moving. "They just didn't see us as people. They didn't try to cover up what they did, it was perfectly fine to them. I wasn't dangerous, so I didn't need to die."

I think that the generation that endured WW2 was pretty fucked up behind the scenes. crazy beating in the household, molestation, rape, etc. and after the horrific decade in 1930, people just wanted an illusion of stability (affluent society). all these occurrences are declining with passing generation.

I am not posting because it is really fucked up and far too depressing even for this thread. I should write a book called how not to be a shitty person when raised by shitty people. The few people that know specifics are amazed I am "normal" and generally a nice person. I just took it all and suppressed it hardcore well into my late 20s. It wasn't until my wife made me realize that I was unknowingly fucking her up that I actually received professional help. What a shit storm that was, all I did though was learn what I was doing to hurt her and found a way to stop it. I don't want to say I fake being normal but my first three impulses are normally frowned upon so I constantly have to think of acceptable solutions/answers.
People call me reserved, but what they don't know is I don't react/talk in a given situation because I can't think of a good response/solution. It has taught me patience's though that is for sure.
Hate to be that guy but sparing the details is for everyone's benefit. Bleh posted more than I meant to, and not saying I had it worse than anyone here just not something I feel random people need to know.

For the guy wanting to know if we were trolling, I can assure you my stories were 100% accurate (from what I was told).
It's kind of depressing how common it seems to be for that generation. Like.. I'm sitting here, and me and my wife are planning to have kids. How could I do any of that to my daughter if I had one? How could a mother knowingly let that happen? What kind of a fuckup do you have to be? The worst part is there's probably someone on these boards who has done it, probably johnny49 or supertouch, but they would have to confirm.

I guess I just have a boring fucking family. The worst thing I can think of is something that I did. When we were kids my little brother used to follow me around like a puppy dog. For some reason one day I just hauled off and fucking smacked him and his nose started bleeding.
I felt really bad about that and told him that I was never going to hit him again. And I didn't. The end.
I mean one grandma was a valium princess, pretty sure that my aunt used to suck dick for coke, the other grandma has told me some crazy fucked-up rape stories from WW2. There's no shortage of fucked up shit in my family. But none of it really rates. That shit's just life.

I think the worst thing anyone ever told me was just before christmas. I was somewhere around 10 years old, and my mom told me that I wasn't going to get the really cool toy I'd asked santa for because we couldn't afford it. Turns out, Santa makes parents pay for those toys he 'gives away'. Better you just lied to me and told me he wasn't real than to turn him into a greedy no good cocksucker.
Only woman I ever seriously considered hurting.
I think that's more or less the case. Although, I have to admit, I know someone who was molested. Good friend of mine was accused of molesting his daughter when he divorced his wife. Completely baseless claims, but it turns out the ex wife and her mom had both been molested, so they just kinda assumed my buddy was molesting his daughter too, cause that's what dads did. The only evidence they had was testimony from the daughter, and during the trial, it came out that grandma basically molested her every time she visited her dad and asked "did daddy touch you like this? How about like this?", and after a few years, she started saying yes.

So since we've gone deep into depressing territory, I'll share an interesting family revelation that's less depressing. After I started work, I started hosting a low stakes poker game with my co-workers. Just an excuse to be assholes to each other and drink, no one lost more than $30.
I was talking to my father about it and he told me my grandfather played in high stakes backroom games regularly, long before poker went legit in Vegas. The kind where you might get shot for cheating... or possibly winning. He even had a gambler nickname, which I don't remember right off (no, I'm not Doyle Brunson's grandkid). Sometimes he won big and they ate like kings, sometimes he lost big and they had to scrape by to make the house payment.
So afterwards, I felt like a real jackass that I was a below average player in my $10 game.
