I’m able to explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.

I think I would need a diagram, but then I always felt the same way when my mother would try to tell me ā€œnewsā€ about some relative I’d never heard of before. (Or more likely that I hadn’t seen in 35 years.) Having a conversation with her was often ā€œsomething happened to someone vaguely related to meā€ followed by her commentary.

Oh, I know several covers of that one! :laughing: (My all time favorite is Homer and Jethro’s version.)

  1. I have had 2 husbands. My first one, who is also the father of my son, is the 1st ex-husband. Our divorce was final in 1990; we married in 1985 and I had our son in 1988.

  2. I married my 2nd husband in 1996, we had no progeny. Our divorce was final in 2000, and he died in 2005.

Note: All but one ex-boyfriend who treated me like shit while we were together is dead. I kid you not. However, I didn’t bear witness in person to each fatal event. And I’m okay with that.
(i think the one is still alive because he has a young son, poor kid.)

Oh, just to be clear, I wasn’t making fun of a complicated web of connections. I’m very aware of how relationships and groups can entwine like that. (My polycule is extensive and I’m pretty sure we’d need non-Euclidean geometry to map it properly.)

My half brother was explaining the intertwining of another family, and said ā€œI know it’s really confusing; the father has two kids and the mother has two kids, and they have one kid togetherā€. I said; ā€œMike; that’s exactly like our family.ā€ And he said; ā€œā€¦ oh … rightā€

It really does circle back to the myth of the ā€œnuclearā€ family, husband, wife, together for life, with a boy, a girl, and an undetermined half of a kid. That’s never been the default, but just one more false dream sold to the public. Most families look much like ours and have for centuries, even if some of the specifics may drift a bit.

People used to farm their kids out to other family members too; my grandmother’s sister died early, and left a small child (she was about 2-3) and the dad was a travelling salesman, so my grandparents raised her pretty much as their own child. This was not uncommon, so the definition of ā€œsiblingā€ vs ā€œcousinā€ was a bit blurry.

I trained in WV, and had to draw out some pedigrees that loop back on themselves, fork at theoretically impossible angles and overlap in ways that should not be possible. I feel you.
