What dark family secret/family history have you uncovered?

Not sure if these are secrets but they are fucked up.

Had 1 cousin who was molested then went grew up to molest another cousin.

I have an uncle who has children ranging from 5 to 50 with a baby mama younger than his oldest three 4 kids. Recently he told my mother than if he died, his wife poisoned him. This is because of each his daughters informed him after the wife tried to get her to help her.

My aunt adopted 2 children because she couldn't have her own. For the second she wanted a challenge (I guess) and decided to adopt a little crack baby. He is now 9, in forced hospitalization because my aunt can't be relied upon to give him his meds that he needs to stop him trying to kill people.

Another cousin has 3 children with a woman we'll call L. L is currently dating a man who got sent to prison for beating her and her kids. Even though he is not allowed near her family she installed a security system, not to protect her family, but to make sure the guy can run if police check for him there.

My family's most ridiculous story (in my opinion) is my uncle's extremely short marriage. The woman he married had 4 girls. She gave a whole big song and dance about her daughters being the next big thing in country music, even took out billboards. Eventually they married and she fabricated an assault charge to get him kicked out of their place. He hired a PI to investigate her. The PI uncovered a ton of stuff. Apparently her "business trips" were to Vegas where she pimped out her oldest two daughters and prepped the younger two (all under 18). She also did some prostitution herself. My uncle was husband number 6. Husbands 1 - 5 died in mysterious circumstances leaving her to collect everything. When confronted with this she disappeared, never to be heard from by our family again.

I cannot make this shit up.
