At 65 I just was contacted the other day by a lady who is my second cousin. This was exciting to me I never knew I had a cousin. She is on Ancestry and is digging into our family history.
Now, talking about a can o' worms.
My mother was to say least "certified crazy" . She was plagued with depression, anxiety, nervous breakdowns etc all our lives. We just dealt with it. Never knowing what any day would bring and all 3 of us left home as soon as possible, 2 of us at 15.
I now have documentation that my mother at 15 was involved in a murder. She and two other teens ran away, hitch a ride with a man whom they ended up killing and dumping his body! The boy plead to being the shooter and the girls we sent to a reform school.
It is really strange to look at pictures and read facts about your mother from 1941.
I have to say I am kinda dumb struck.
My brothers and I always knew and consoled each other with the fact that we knew she was just not right but this is way out there.
After we left home none of us were close, there was just too much that had happened. I did keep in touch with her and called on a regular basis. She had remarried and moved from where we lived in the south to Michigan.
Crazy how the internet not only links us but also provides us with information that would have in the past never been available.
It may take me a day or two to figure out how I feel all I can think is the ol song " How Bizarre, How Bizarre" !

How do you know it's really true? Did she ever mention reform school to you?
