Yes, my daughter! I was the hardest thing I have ever done. I thought I was going to die...that's how much I grieved. People were telling me she was using and I went to find out for myself. I had noticed her appearance changed. However, she had a baby and I thought she was tired. I dropped in unannounced and found her strung out with the baby's father.
My grand-daughter was only 13 months at the time. She was filthy and I'm not talking normal play dirt. Her milk bottle was curdled. The bottom line was she was neglected. I was upset with myself for not seeing the signs. I told my daughter I was taking her and I did. I had to take the matter to court. What I wanted was for my daughter to wake up and see what she was losing...she didn't. She chose to continue her lifestyle. I had to make a decision. I am raising my grand-daughter. I love my daughter however, I made it clear to her that she has to go in rehab and prove herself. She has also stolen large amounts of money from my business and forged checks. I had to say enough and put my energy into raising my grand-daughter.
It's a hard decision to make...sometimes you have no other choice!

I used to disown my dad because I was told early on in my life that my did never loved me and that he never did want me. I was taught to hate my dad in so many ways while growing up into manhood.
When I was 32 I was a raging alcoholic and was visiting my dad once, when all this came out and we had a big fight and I beat the hell out of him.
Years later when I was recalling my life I was piecing together events that had gone on in my life leading up to present day. Things I was told as a young man sure didn't make sense...so I revisited them in a different fashion. I came to relize that in my growing up, I had been given misinformation regarding my father and had been lied to most of my life.
So everything I was told as a young boy was a lie. I was trained to hate my father and I didn't even know it. I hated him so much all those many years.
And all those times he wanted to talk with me when I was younger and I turned him off or hung up on him. I'll never get those back.
I'm 50 now, my father is 78 and I love him with all my heart. I lost much time with him. I'll never, never get that back.

Yep, one of my cousins, she had 3 kids, 2 of them being twins. She was fine for awhile and then went WILD. She started using drugs and drinking. She would go off and leave the kids behind (all under 5years old) while hubby was at work, to do her drugs and alcohol, come home right before he would. That went on for sometime before he found out. He came home from work early one night to find her gone. Later he found out she was cheating on him as well. They got a divorce, he got the kids. He is welcome to our family, but she is not, and none of the family even knows where she is to this day, that has been well over 20 years ago now.

Yes, my severely abusive mother.
I chose to stop seeing her for survival sake; however, I do love her and I feel the void of not having a mother. After many years of estrangement and healing from my abuse, I am finally at a place where I can forgive her. Yet, forgiveness does not mean that I trust her enough to reconcile with her or that I will accept continued abuse.

I have disowned both my mother and my father. My father for molesting my two oldest sisters and my mother because she never cared about me and still doesn't she drinks way to much.

Yes, my mother. She's just exhausting. She's a toxic person--an emotional vampire--and if she wasn't my mother I wouldn't have anything to do with a person like that. So why *should* I just because she's my mother? I've been much calmer and happier ever since. It just makes it hard to communicate with my dad.

carrying around hate is too exhausting. Forgive and move on. Plus if they die, dealing with that can haunt ya!

She took me in saying it was for my future. Now she tells me that I owe her money, for the education, food and accomodation when I was with her....It was really sad......
