killed last week. His mother and my uncle were married, had four kids, and divorced. She remarried and had, what I thought was, three kids with her new husband. Come to find out, that last one was actually my uncles biological child even though he was named as that other man's junior.

I grew up with him, always thought he was my cousin's half brother. My mother called me last week to tell me he had been murdered and referred to him as my uncles son. I was like "That's not Uncle's son, that's Joe's son." My mom was like "Naw baby that's your uncle's son she just didn't want everybody to know that"

WTF man! I hope he knew... I'm kinda thinking he did since he was always so close to our family.

Anyway, the things adults do to save face can fuck up they kids future in many ways.
