Ok I'm not OP, but I will answer because my ex and his family were the WV stereotype as well. Where do I begin?
Have you ever watched Cops? I watched once and they were riding along with WV police. The cop gets a call and spends time explaining to a guy that no, he cannot tell his neighbor they are not allowed on his property and then consider it ok to shoot them when they walk by on the street to get from their house to the man's mother's house down the street.
Other tidbits:
My ex's dad took him aside when he was 15 or 16 and demanded to know why he was wasting time in high school when he could get him on at the mine he worked at so that he could be making money instead. My ex thankfully refused and became the first in his family line known to graduate high school. This same mine closed down never to reopen just 2 years later, which is involved in how I eventually came to meet my ex in Texas.
Ex's dad also made fun of he and I for attending college. According to him it just showed how desperately lacking in self confidence we were that we needed someone to hand us a paper to tell us we were educated adults.
Attended my first family reunion with him and his family shortly after we got engaged. Got drug outside and berated for talking politely to some random extended family member because "We don't talk to that branch". Saying sorry I was speaking politely to the older sister of my best friend since pre-k didn't really help matters. There was always someone they were feuding with, usually for reasons I wasn't supposed to ask. I was just a DIL and should do as I was told, talk to whom I was told, etc.
Their house was always the neighborhood eyesore, complete with cars up on blocks and trash stacked in corners. They were cited by the city for this on numerous occasions and would always make just enough of an effort it would die down temporarily.
Pretty much any white trash crazy you can think up, they did. I could go on all night with examples from the 14 years I was involved with that family. This is not to say everyone from WV is like that at all. I know many perfectly sane West Virginians and even have a few in my extended family. That's just the stereotype, and it is obviously there for a reason. That reason being there are of course those few idiots that think this is acceptable behavior.
