Today, I found out the truth about my parents’ divorce and why our family is so distant. Turns out my dad had an affair with not one, but two of my mom’s sisters. And that my youngest cousin is also my half-sister. FML

Today, talking to my boyfriend about each others families, we noticed we both had an aunt with the same name. After a while of trying to figure things out, we decide to call her. Turns out that we are long distance cousins. FML

This happens more often then you'd think. But still, FYL.

My parents are first cousins too, lol, I turned out fine. Just don't go off with your first cousin, there will probably be some trouble there :P

Okay, no, you're probably not genetically at risk for all kinds of stupid shit, but man, cousins? Wuff...

#25, biologically speaking, first cousins can breed and be far enough apart gentically to not cause any problems at all. They shouldn't repeat the action over and over through generations, but OP's singular case, assuming she doesn't plan to marry a cousin, really means nothing. It's just not that big of a deal medically, and I don't know that I would think much of it either way. I mean, when she meets people, she might not want to open with that, but who really cares? Sorry for the shock OP, but I don't think I would care much if I knew someone in this scenario, so if you're worried about what people think, maybe that helps.

My mom and dad just got divorced and my mom likes her cousin now... i feel your pain... it's not about deformities... it's about morals and you feeling like a disgusting person. ppl need to stop being insensitive. it's alright... just know that they make each other happy... one day, hopefully, it'll stop giving you goosebumps...
