warped
No longer straight
Warped means bent or twisted out of shape, especially from moisture or heat: The floorboards had warped over the years.
Figuratively, warped describes something distorted from what's normal or healthy—a warped sense of humor is dark or perverse, a warped mind thinks in disturbing ways: Prison had left him bitter and warped.
