Every family has its secrets. With the ever-growing popularity of therapy and a growing awareness of the general f'ed up nature of life, many of us have a more deeply held understanding of things like generational trauma than ever. We're more willing to talk about it, too, as facilitated by the great big beast that is social media. We all have a story to tell, and it often revolves around the people that we come from.

Truly, there are few kinds of drama and gossip that are as juicy as what comes from our family members. Whether there's a black sheep gone awry (or you are the black sheep) or a beloved relative hiding something shady, there is a lot to talk about. This has been realized in a recent Twitter thread, in which users recounted some of their most interesting family drama. There are more than a few crazy stories here.
