I ask, because recently my grandfather died, and I've been slowly discovering that a lot of what what my maternal grandparents presented outwardly has been a lie. Family history for me has been mostly fabricated, and hard truths have been glossed over. Following the death of both my grandparents (my grandmother in 1997 and my grandfather in 2011), big revelations have recently been made about my origins (and potentially my citizenship), as well as in regards to the roles the figures in my family history have played.

This has happened occasionally in my life (Neptune is conjunct Uranus in my chart, which while being generational...I think still applies here, right?)...but rarely has it been so..."big" (transiting Jupiter is also sextile both of these planets, with natal Jupiter being opposed).

My mother also had a son with another man she gave up custody of and she doesn't want me to find him.

Yes, dad had problems with alcohol.. but i would not say that it made much problems with me. One thing that i can say - as 4th house is karma house as well, i do remember my past lives, so far - in detail 3, 2 of them proven with facts and 1 just a glimpse. And past situations coming upon me - that's a fact.

My mother is mentally not so balanced. My father is passive.

My home (my own house)is also very much an escape for me from the 'bad world'.

I love living by the sea, it's a real need, in fact.

I've never been prone to a need to live by the sea, though. I grew up pretty far inland. All I need is an adventure. Land or sea, it's all the same to me. (I think that's the Aries sun talking, hah).

Dad was a career gambler, would leave my mom for weeks to go to vegas. he wanted his obituary to read "professional gambler" and we honored his wishes when he passed. he spent his last days in the casinos of Biloxi, where he had moved to.

we never had a concrete relationship. he and mom divorced when I was 5. I could care less, because he was never home. that meant things would go on as usual. I remember shrugging. I guess that would be Neptune; foggy relationship. this lasted until my mid-thirties, when we actually began a real relationship. Thank God we let bygones be bygones before his transition.

mom has always had some mental issues, especially because of my dad leaving her and us in poverty, among other things. shes a great lady. Cancer sun never truly lets things go...

in my early 20s, my home was the go to home if you needed somewhere to stay, be it natural disaster, homelessness, house fire, etc.. my kids joke that we cant find anyone who didn't live here. I could never say no, nor did I want to say no. I chalk this up to Neptune.

Am always surprised how some very 'strange' personal stories, end up being 'common' once we get into the details of astrology....i've got something real similar to yours.

the 'funniest' part of a Neptune in 4th, is everyone knows...but everyone knows to keep silent about it even better....bleh.
