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

I hear so many people talk about being unhappy due to problems with their family. I think more should cut their family off, if all parties aren't willing to reconcile. Don't be unhappy. My old lady and I are 100% self made, we don't tolerate any BS from anyone.

One sibling is a sociopath who likes to watch things burn. She is just really messed up in the head and evil. I had to deal with her abusive tendencies as a kid, and I refuse to be around her or have her anywhere near my kids.
The other sibling is an alcoholic who is the victim in every story. Everyone has to walk on eggshells to keep her from going off.
I could tell story after story of the crazy stuff they have done, but I don't have all day. The final straw was how they treated my dad on his deathbed. They were more worried about money than him dying. I cut them off after that with no regrets. My life has been so much more peaceful since then.

My mom has borderline personality disorder. She's been abusive and manipulative my whole 40+ years on this earth. Of course, there were a few happy moments in between, but they do not even begin to make up for the 97% of the time that she's been an absolute nightmare of a human being.
She can't hold a job, a relationship, or manage her money. She also cannot accept responsibility for her actions. She lies about health problems to get sympathy and money from others. Her needs have always come before that of her 4 kids. I was basically her therapist when I was a kid and had to cook, clean and babysit otherwise she would freak out on me and make me feel like shite for not taking care of things. I was about 8 years old when that started. I'm 43 and over it and really want nothing to do with her anymore. I've got my own family to take care of and I don't have time for her bullshite.

My step sister (no pics) along with her husband/daughter cut off my dad, me, and my siblings and the rest of the family after my stepmom died. Haven't heard from her in years. I guess she didn't really care for us, and was only being nice to visit with her mom and not us. Kinda sad since I've known here since she was 3 years old.

I haven't seen my mother or half brother since before Covid. I spoke to each of them once on the phone since Covid. Covid/'20 Election broke them and and in turn our relationship. It is not combative, more like a Cold War. It really sucks, because I really loved my mom and still do. I regret her not having a relationship with my family. She is a good person, just kind of bipolar. She lives overseas now (she hates America pretty much) and it is just easier for it to be "Out of sight, out of mind". I do miss her and my children do too. Maybe this thread will make me get off my arse and do something about it. I'm tearing up typing this, so I know I need to do something.

About to cut off my in laws. Wife's idea but I'm on board. They are miserable, greedy, controlling people who live at the church.

That is ridiculous. If your version is correct.

I have two brothers and the three of us are scattered all over the country. After I retire in the next 3-4 years, I may relocate so I can spend more time with them.

Haven’t seen my mom since June 2020. She up and left my dad without telling anyone where she was going. Didn’t communicate for months after that. We talked almost every day prior to her leaving. Met for lunch at least 1/week. I was 34 at the time and it hit me hard.
I text her every few months but it’s one or two words letting her know I’m alive. Been drinking a handle bout every 4 days since then. Thanks mom.

FIL & wife dont talk anymore. Her parents had messy divorce over a decade ago, he believes she (her mother/ex wife) had an affair with current husband, so he wont come to any events (bdays, holidays, etc) she in invited to (my wife & her mother talk 2xs/day so that would not happen). Wife told him either get over it and be involved with grandkids or stay away, he chose latter.

My sister has cut off every member of our family and most of the extended family at one point or another. She doesn't deal with conflict well and is not the type to take the high road. Her reasons can vary wildly but she boasts about having never lost an argument. Eventually, she will have to be in the same place at the same time as the shunned, she will act like nothing happened, and things will get back to normal. Very exhausting.

I'm not one of them, but my Dad completely cut his Dad out of his life. I barely knew the guy, but cliffs are:
1) Used my Grandma's, his wife's, inheritance from a dead relative to open a bar
2) Pissed away night and weekends there getting drunk and never going to any of the children's sporting events. Pretty much a drunk, dead beat father who had 2 of his 4 kids leave the house at 17.
3) Because of #2, got divorced and ran the place into the ground
4) Sweet talked my grandma, his ex, to give him a loan to keep the place afloat on the pretense that he'd keep his kids in the will
5) My Grandma died, he said he'd chip in for her funeral due to never paying the loan back, but he never gave anything
6) My Dad never spoke to him again and didn't go to his funeral.

Not completely cutoff but I’ve spoken with my stepmom 2 times in the last 3 years. My father is deceased.. our only communication is regarding estate matters. She’s been my step parent for nearly 40 years and I consider my step father on equal ground as a blood parent. After my fathers passing it became obvious that my brother and I weren’t on the same footing as her own children, which is fine but for example. I nearly died 3 years ago and spent 5 weeks in the hospital and rehabilitation hospital learning how to walk and use my left side. Not once did that count bitch call or reach out to me or my wife… frick her

Surprised I didn't see any vaccine reasons in this thread. During height of wuflu, heard of all these people cutting off family because of refusing to get vaccinated.

My oldest sister is batshit crazy.
Started family drama with a nephew 20 years ago.
About 1 year ago, she decides she needs a break from us.
Then one day, not long ago, says she's ready to resume.
Well, I'm not.

I have a pretty small immediate family and a great relationship with my parents so I don’t have much experience with this.
But on my dad’s side, several cousins who are siblings have gotten into petty fights and then not spoken for years, sometimes decades. They generally make up and have never pressured my dad to pick sides, but it all seems rather immature. Not related to money and there are no drug problems, it’s all minor personality clashes.
