I cannot imagine the hell you lived through. I am so sorry this happened to you and I quite understand why you don't want to say more. Don't. No need to.
I made Shirley's life miserable a couple of times, it was lovely but very brief.
Crazy assed family, had been the entire time I knew them which was quite a long time actually. They only got worse as the years went by. They are still here making noise. Although I no longer live in Topeka I am close and do go into town fairly often. They are a constant presence but seem to lack a little since the old man died. I imagine they will be doing stuff until the older kids, my age and a little younger, start to die off then the youngers may just decide to have an actual life. At least that would be a hopeful end I guess. It does need to be over.
Again, I am so sorry. I cannot imagine the hell that you went through. It was that kind of stuff that kept my brother from coming out until he was dying. Sad sad sad and such a waste. Be well and remember, so many people care about you.
