You know...Its hard to decide what to do with a family member when they have hurt you. Its easier to cut a friend out of your life, friends come and go. A family member should be there for life...Right!! My mother and I have become estrange for what ever reasons....and now we are both too angry at each other too reach out. Its a terrible feeling not getting along with a family member....I'm going through it now. But I can say, I would' t cut them out of your life.....people do change with time. Maybe, once what ever your going through gets sorted out...things will be better. Good Luck to you!!

Yes it was hard b/c my dad, his parents( my grandparents), and my aunt ( his sister) didn't care for me and they constantly talked bad about my mom to me and let's just say it was bad and i had to get out of that environment. Now my life is much better. So ur not wrong if u cut close family out in fact in my opinion u better urself and ur surroundings. I hope u don't have a lot of heartache and tears b/c if u do or did, I'm right there with u i know how it feels and i'm sorry it had to be that way but i'm sure ur a great person and u deserve happiness. Go out and celebrate today just for u and all that ur worth. Here's to the rest of our life may it be filled with joy and love always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always believed that "family" meant unconditional love. As an adopted child, this was especially "drilled" into me.
I hope that I will never cut my kids out of my life and vice versa. If your own family can't/won't love you, it makes you wonder if anyone could.
I'm kind of like Amelia. I didn't actually cut my dad out of my life; he cut me out of his. I finally gave up trying to get him to love me and be a father a few years ago. Relief from alot of my grief, but I'll never really be able to get over it.

Yes. I cut my dad out of my life because he decided I wasn't important enough to remain in HIS life. I was sad at first but now I realize I'm better off without the man.

My husband and his sister haven't spoken now in over a month - big family fued going on and to be honest, I'm enjoying the peace and quiet! His sister always wants people over and it's so nice not having to see her all the time. I hope it lasts and lasts!!

I cut my dad out of my life, not that he was really ever part of his life anyway. I was the only one trying to have a father-daughter realtionship and he never did.

1st let me say family is very important to me cause I came from one that was terrible but still loved them all. I have put a brother I didn't grow up with out of my life after many years later after we met. He was into taking advantage of me cause I was the only one that loved him no matter what until he brought a crack head to my house to live with me & my kids. He stole from my husband & that was it. I still love him very much & had to let go of fixing him cause he needed to help hisself .He is 4 years older than me.I pray for him that is doing good.

One side of my mothers family dont speak to two my her aunts. We also hate them so much that we had seperate funerals for my grand mother when she died!!
It all started over money my two aunts squabled over inhertiance and what they would each get from my grand father when he died. They then tried to put my grand mother into a home and sell her house and take the money that would have paid for her nursing home.
My mother who is the eldest had to take her two sisters to court to stop them from stealing nanas money.
We havent spoken to them for 10 years and I doubt that we ever will.
To be honest we dont need them my dad has 5 sister's and my mum now has 1, And they are all lovely.
