Kind of interesting

BMs half brother (she didn't really have a relationship with him) died recently. From the obituary, along with some background info I already knew, I gathered this:

GBM got married, had a few kids, got divorced and left kids with dad. Got remarried and had another kid, divorced again and left that kid with dad. Remarried a third time (to BMs dad), had 2 more kids. Got divorced again, left the kids with dad and moved in with the man she's still with today. 

GBM is just like MIL in that she loves to be a backseat driver grandparent and meddle and tell the parents to parent in ways that they themselves did not. I know she also likes to stay involved in BMs dads business and keep some control there, so I would imagine it's the same with the other exes also.

Guess that's where BMs idea that having a kid with someone meant she got to control them and have them be her b*tch forever came from.

Is a brownheaded cowbird.

In my case, Chef's ex MIL, Battleaxe Galactica was banging every man in sight and has been married like about seven times. 

Supposedly she wasn't able to have children but the miracle baby aka the Girhippo was born.  Of course she was and is a terrible alienator and PASed out the Girhippo against her father so the cycle repeats itself.

She ended up having a half sister to the Gir and from what I hear she is just as messed up.
