Black SheepEvery family has their black sheep, deserved or not. We're still not talking to an uncle who "borrowed" the capital from the family firm, causing it to collapse and leaving my dad out of work for 4 years in his mid 40s. Who aren't you talking to?

My own fatherA gifted jazz musician, left when I was wee, dated a series of problem drinkers, hocked his trumpet, took up driving a cab, then moved to Alberta for a few years, then came back with a fiancee. They both moved in with his parents who came home a week later to find their liquor cabinet smashed open and emptied, with the fiancee passed out amidst the pieces of their coffee table, and now he's disowned and she flew back West.
The weird thing is, my mother's family still talks kindly about him.
