the family tree is SO complicated

I know. Corrine and Christopher Sr. were actually siblings. Alicia, Malcolm's stepmother, was both of their mothers. She died when Corrine was a teenager. The incest thing is a family curse that began with Malcolm's obsession with his mother, Corrine Sr., Corrine's grandmother.

So much incest. Cray cray.

LOL Not a lot of branches on that family tree.

This family gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "keeping it in the family"

Completely agree.

I just got done watching the first movie. I haven't seen the second two or read the books, but I read some spoilers that it gets even more convoluted. But from what it sounds like so far:

Corrine married her uncle, who was her father's half-brother, and had four kids with him.

But it's also implied Corrine and her father had a sexual relationship.

And then Chris and Cathy go on to have a sexual relationship, which is ironically partly instigated by the grandmother constantly planting the seeds (no pun intended) by accusing them of it long before either ever thought of anything like that and then locking them up together for over two years.

Which all takes place just in the first movie.

For anyone interested...The Complete V.C. Andrews site has some really useful resources (timelines and family tree) for FitA (and the other novels). 😉

Let's stop calling it a family tree.

It's a family stump. 
