“This all happened before I was born, and I didn’t find out until I was in my 30s. Try to follow along: I had an aunt, Jennifer, who was married to Bob. Bob was a bit of a hound and apparently cheated on her quite a bit. Still, Bob and Jennifer decided to have a baby, and Michael was born. Bob ends up having an affair with Jennifer’s sister, Anna. Jennifer finds out about Bob and Anna, leaves Bob, and takes Michael with her.”
“Soon after, Jennifer starts dating my Uncle Rich. Rich and Bob know each other pretty well. They’re not good friends or anything, but they seem to run in the same circle. Things start going well for Rich and Jennifer, so within two years, they decide to move in together and get married. In the meantime, Bob and Anna are going pretty strong, so they shack up and get married around the same time.
Anna and Jennifer patch things up, and Jennifer forgives her. Over the years, things have totally normalized, and they operate completely normally (at least on the surface), as Michael’s dad doubles as his uncle, and his stepmom is his aunt.
It was a very bizarre family dynamic, but it worked.”
