A culture of violence

Grumpa and Grimma grew up in a dangerous neighborhood described as a war zone.

Mom medicates everyone through the same doctor

Grimma takes all of her kids to the same doctor where they are diagnosed with the same hereditary mental illness. Even her adopted daughters.

Grumpa "quit his job" when convicted of criminal fraud; Writes unpublished book

"He sent chapters of the book to all of his friends in the Bronx, and it made a few of them so angry that they stopped talking to him. The book was never published. My father had no idea how to get such a thing off the ground"

If Aunt Brie failed to preserve the family lie, that they were perfect, she was punished

The Walsh parents apply an abusive level of control over their children and tell them their 'bad behavior' is the reason they were so 'strict' with them.

Mom is ‘viscerally exciting,’ but has trouble keeping friends, jobs and apartments

"The down side of this is that my sister gets fired from jobs all of the time; she can’t keep apartments."

Grumpa thinks himself a "Prince of Wall Street"

Grumpa sold junk bonds like in the movie 'Boiler Room' and started making money very quickly.

"You're an alcoholic" Grimma told Aunt Brie at 8; Making her take a shot of Whiskey

Grimma gave Aunt Brie a shot of alcohol at 8 years old, and then told her "You know you’re an alcoholic, right?"

"Let's make him paranoid!" Walsh children harass homeless man, chase him out of NY subway

The Walsh children treat others the way they treat each other. Cruelly.

Stuprendan and the Physically Deformed Society

Stuprendan attempts to trick grandmother into thinking he's someone else.

To Aunt Brie, She absolutely hates you and your website, the family is not allowed to talk to you

Stuprendan tells Aunt Brie that Grimma has ostracized the rest of the family from her as well.

When Grimma gets quiet you know she will take you to the corner and dig her nails into you

"The softer her voice gets, the more angry you know she's getting. Once you can’t hear her anymore, you know that she is going to take you into a corner and dig her nails into your forearm"

'Stuprendan' hacks computer, impersonates others to 'betray' 'trick' and 'abuse' Aunt Brie

Sometimes referred to as 'Dexter' for his love of blood, guns, and ambulance chasing, in this post Aunt Brie calls him 'Stewie' and 'Stuprendan.'
