I want to know if anyone has lost touch with their family on purpose for example mom, dad, aunts, cousins that type of thing. I want to know why you lost touch with them on purpose what made you decide to cut them out of your life, how long since you spoke to them, share your stories.

My family was very disfunctional. Alcohol, verbal abuse, never an I love you said. The only chance I had of making a life for myself was to severe the relationship. With my mom and dad and al my siblings...
My sanity was the most important thing to me... the rest of them are all nuts!
It's called survival.... and it's now been 25 yrs since and I am a much better person than I could have hoped for. Theyare still the misfits they were long ago...

Sure did, my aunt, she beat her kids while they were younger( I witnessed this a lot), is jealous that now her kids repect my mom more than her, she was constantly putting down me, my sisters, my mom and dad and even her own sons, when I was 8 years old she sat me down (because she was mad at my mom) and told me that my mom had had an abortion (my mom always said she'd talk to us about this baby when we were a little older) and that at the same time my dad had a vasectomy because he never wanted any kids and that this made my mom a murderer ( regardless of the fact that my mom had contracted hepatitis C by this point and would have passed it onto the baby (blood transfusion)) She is the type of woman that sqashes everyone around her's happiness and innocence. The last thing she did to cause the break-up is that she started this destructive behavior with my husband- telling him how he needed to take better care of his family and keep me and our kids away from my mom. Anyway, from the time I was 8 I've held this resentment for this woman and 2 years ago I finally told her that I didn't need anyone in my life that would try to destroy my happiness. I've never regrettedit for 1 minute and would do it again if I had to.

i have lost touch with my dad on purpose because i don't see him as my dad. I last spoke to him was about 4 years ago; he didn't really teach me anything value or useful in life. I learn from others and myself so he's the most hatred person in my life.

I lost touch with my familily deliberately for 3 years. I did it because I needed to get over things, and the only way I could was to cut myself off from them for a while. I became more independent, then got back in touch with them. It made for much better relationships.

I have, but they were people who only wanted a relationship as long as I put all the effort in. When my child was born I decided that people that treated him well were in. Those who never had time for him were out. He is 3 now. And the losers that I have omited from our lives... well we are better off with out them and there are plenty of people to love us even if they are not "blood" family.

I haven't spoke to my parents for 13 years they told me if i married my wife that it wouldn't work and i would be disinherited so screw them i have not said one word to them. By the way my wife that wouldn't work out and i have been married for 13 years and have two beautiful kids. My folks have never seen them they do not even know they exist. So what i get along in life fine with out them and I do alright on my own and do not need there money anyways. But on the great side my mother-in-law and father-in-law are like my folks and i have a great relationship with them.

Well, I did. I only hang around my immediate family. I don't consider my aunts, uncles or cousins my family. Everyone is so secretive and they seem to be more concerned with each others' downfalls rather than positivity. My family is like a small rural town; everyone knows your business before you do. I don't like dealing with that or their ignorance so I cut them off.

No, I always wanted to meet all my family. I don't think my estranged family share the same sentiments, though. Oh well, you lose some and you gain some. It's nice and beneficial to know your roots and background completely.
