It's history of long ago and certainly wasn't easy but affected my aunt and his sister far more than it did me.

He was my side of the family's issue, and my DH's brother was his side of the family's issue. There is always someone who just can't get their act together.

Most families have some tragedies associated with them and mine is no exception, especially when you dredge back into my own Jewish ancestry during WWII. So...having a cousin who could never get his act together wasn't the worst thing.
