Have you ever disowned a member of your family?

Question

I disowned my mother nearly 8 months ago for good reasons.

Answer 1

hi huni sorry to hear of your trouble's!
Ive not really spoken to my mother in nearly 3 years she and the rest of her crap dis-functional "family"(if you can call them that) disowened me after her father sexually abused and raped me for7years so im doing alot better without ALL of them!!
yes it gets hard at times but make your friends become your new family who will not hurt you as much as family have!

They had the nerve last week to txt me asking if i would go in and see my grandfather (same one as mentioned above) after he had a stroke!!! so if he was to die he could go feeling better about himself-people like him dont deserve that, also they dont die they live forever and haunt you!!

Huni if you want you are more than welcome to E-mail me and I would try help you if you would like me to or even just chat!!!!

Merry christmas it'll be the best you've gotten rid of a big burden.

Answer 2

Oh Yes, nearly all of them. With the exception of my Mother a sister and a niece. I was disowned a few years back because I left my wife. I tried the olive branch for a while, now I could quite cheerfully beat them about the head with it!!

Answer 3

I cut out a few family members about 10 years ago, |I thought I had good reasons, one of these people was an aunt and the other was a cousin (her son). Well a few months ago my aunt suddenly and tragically passed away, she was only 60 and I feel so guilty for cutting her out of my life as I noe realise she wasn't as bad as I thought, I was looking through childs eyes. My cousin was distraught as he had lost his dad only 10 weeks before and again it was very suddon and tragic.
I met up with my cousin last week for the first time in 10 years and I can't believe i let it go on so long. We swapped stories and photos of our kids, we caught up and promised to keep in touch, I will keep this promise. i left it too long and will not make that mistake again
Now, I didn't disown my mum but a couple of weeks ago we stopped talking coz of some decisions I have made in my life. last week we had our 3rd family tragedy, anouther early death. We have gad 3 people die at 60 of heart attacks, they had no warning and were not ill. it has spanned over a 4 month period. Muy mum and I soon made up.
To me Life is just too short, saying that I don't know other peoples experiences.................

Answer 4

I disowned my whole family for a year and a half when I was in hospital cos I couldn't cope with constant questions and nagging, but in the end I felt so bad about doing it that I rang my Mum one day and have been in touch with all my family ever since. My Mum did something bad when I was young, but although I can never forgive her for that, I decided to give her another chance and we get on okish now.

Answer 5

Both my parents are dead. Before they died I was extremely close to my mother but hadnt seen my father in years.

Its a real tragedy that people fall out and dont speak to each other again but sometimes, if there really is a very good reason, its necessary. But there is a price to both parties in the end. I will always wonder things about my father and I never really knew him because of the fact we didnt see each other past my childhood - even though I felt it was justified I have still missed out as I never really got to hear his views as an adult.

Answer 6

I disowned my mother for 7 yrs. Then she made contact with me. We talk now but still can't spend too much time together.

Answer 7

My older sister. She's a spoiled, insensitive, irresponsible, loudmouth, never knows when too shut up ...witch. Restrained myself. Disowning family is never fun or easy ..but if they derserve it, then sometimes it's you're only option, but you can never really completly cast out family, there still you're family, will be for the rest of you're life, deal with it.

Answer 8

I disowned my brother in october this year.
He by a trick made me loose more than US$18000. He does not accept the fault.
We were to invest US$36000 in a business. I invested my share but when time came he said he has no money. I lost my share too.

I will forgive him if he accepts his fault. I loved my brother far more than any amount of money.

Answer 9

No, yet my grandparents quickly disowned my 20 year previous cousin whilst she have been given pregnant (she's no longer married). They have been given over it tremendously rapid nonetheless. P.S. I laughed so hard once I study that pronounced type element.

Answer 10

Yes, I'm working on it right now.
My brother conned my mother out of a lot of $, and is a hypocrite, corrects people but hates you to do it to him. He hates surprises but will do it to you. Has this total superiority complex and he doesn't see this at all. he thinks he is this responsible, hard working person. I guess Ignorance is bliss.
