I have feuds on both sides of my extended family

Posted by Reagen May 29 '12, 13:33

my mom hasn't spoken to two of her sisters in 30-some years and likely never will again over grandpa's will, and I have a whole group of cousins on my dad's side that we're not on speaking terms with over some shady land business. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a very low-key version of Dallas.
