People who cut off their family, what did they do to you?

I'm not in the 32% but I'd imagine the reasons are

drugs
money
mental illness

drugs money mental illness

Over the past several years, I’d imagine politics is up there on the list as well (even though it probably coincides with mental health)

They had a lack of literacy.

My father-in-law cut off his mom.

She didn't like his fiancee/wife.

After 35 years of marriage without any improvement in the relationship with his mom, he walked away.

Mom had an affair, left my dad, stole money from me
Brother 1 is a thief frick up on drugs
Brother 2 is a pathological liar

Haven't spoke to any of them in years, what do I win?

ETA: grandma got cut off in the mom mix, didn't speak with her for the last year of her life. Basically, cut off my mom's entire side of the family. Especially after I sued her

I dont speak to my sister because she promotes homosexual shite in front of my kids.

My BILs kids disowned him and the youngest got emancipated and lives with another sibling if that gives you any indication.

My grandmother had an uncle who had a falling out with his father when he was 18 or 19. He lit out for California and nobody heard from him for over 30 years. Then he just showed up again one day. They were in some contact after that. My dad corresponded with one of his daughters after the uncle died. Apparently he had told his family tall tales about growing up on a plantation and having to leave after he killed a man over a card game. None of which was true

BIL got married. His wife is a complete loser and for reasons still unknown decided she hates my mother-in-law and, by proxy, my wife (BIL's sister). My wife has been in the same room with my BIL's wife a grand total of 6 times over the last 3 years. On none of the occasions were the interactions long or in any way uncordial. Nevertheless, BIL's wife told him he essentially had to choose between her or his mother and sister as she refused to ever be in the same room with them again. BIL evidently chose his wife because he has ceased all communication with my wife/his sister. In turn, my wife has ended her relationship with her brother.

Just an incredibly bizarre situation because my wife hasn't interacted with her brother's wife long enough to seemingly develop that level of hate. There was literally no animus event to seemingly give rise to such hate. Yet, my wife is angrier at her brother who chose to completely turn his back on his family. A family he had a great relationship with before he met his wife.

Daughter. She's an ungrateful, disrespectful shithead.
