They are still your blood. Doesn't mean you have to trust them again, but forgive and go on with it. You need them, even when you think you don't. You learned an important lesson. Get over it.

Burnt around the edges User ID: 76730417 United States 06/12/2019 06:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The first time I broke ties with my sister is when I was 18 and she was Pregnant at 13. My Parents needed my room for the babies room,( they were going to raise it, mistake #1). and my Dad gave me 30 days to move out. Not 31 days 30. I was lucky to be employed full time in Retail and told my Boss in my FT retail job my predicament, and he promoted me to an Assistant Manager's position that required re location to a city 5 hours away. My sister used to pinch herself and fall down the stairs at home, run to my Dad and tell him I did it. After 10 years of this behaviour, the neighbour lady told my dad about her antics. I never got an apology from him and my Mother told me about it after he died of Cancer. I was never given a full apology, but what the hell. Life goes on. My sister finally found someone dumb enough to marry her at 18, and at her wedding reception, she went behind my back telling my Dad that I was calling him weak and stupid for his support of her marriage. I found out from my cousin and confronted her and my Father about it and I did get a sort of, "sorry son" out of it. After my Father died I waited until my Mother's dementia got worse so after paying for a retirement village for six years, 70 % of the cost out of my pocket. I moved my Mother across Country and into my house,( That I re modelled for her accommodation with my own money), and my Mother lived with my wife and I for 9 years. I had noticed that during the 9 years, I got no help from anybody in helping with my Mother's care. ( My sister wrote me a $200 check that bounced), and all our Relatives were not calling any more to speak to me about my Mother, or for anything else. Come to find out,(from my same cousin that committed suicide by cop), years later. My sister was relaying tales of abuse from my wife and I that were out and out lies, because of her jealousy about my Mom living with me and not her. I cut off all ties after my sister called me crying about her Daughter,( she had 3 Miscarriages), who was on the run from the F.B.I. I received calls from the Bureau for 4 years about her where abouts, and again found out my Sister had received a letter in which my Niece had told her that I sexually abused her and forced her to write bad checks. Of course The F.B.I traced all mail that my sister had gotten for 4 years and a letter supposedly from my niece, in Las Vegas, her daughter, was a complete lie. The F.B.I. found no letter, after tracing all letters, telegrams, Western Union, etc... from anyone even resembling any territory in or out of the United States,( my sister said she destroyed the letter in order to protect me).After 4 years of questioning my niece was busted in a Meth Raid and all the truth did come out. This was 9 years ago. My sister has made several attempts to contact me and I will not resume any correspondence with her and never will. My Mother died 3 years ago, and all kinds of nasty rumours began circulating about me from you know who. I ignore them and her. My life has almost returned to normal and I couldn't be happier and my wife and I have enjoyed 9 years of peace and quiet, I will never talk to my sister again. If you side with my sister on this, may God help you. I don't want or need this kind of person around me, ever. Jesus Christ protects those who Pray to him and genuinely need the Saints help. Thank you God for my Faith and Intervention. Michael S |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 67653786 United States 06/12/2019 07:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | brother betrayed me in business last month and I cussed him out and plan to estrange from him. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77723469 any of you done this with your siblings, for years even? for life? it already weighs on me heavily and wondering if its bad for the soul and do you regret it? when you understand that absolutely no one can screw you like a family member,it's a no brainer and very easy. would you continue in a friendship w/someone that deliberately did that ? think. your own brother did this. no one can decide for you and in no way i am alone cutting loose untrustworthy family members that falsified legal papers,signatures,committed fraud and made out like bandits at my expense. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76623652 United States 06/12/2019 07:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have been estranged from my brother a few years. He started texting, wanting back into my life, but his toxic behavior made me sick, and triggered my PTSD again. I started having nightmares and such again. I felt angry constantly. I decided to cut him off again, and after a few months, now I am beginning to feel better. Estrangement is sickening for the soul, usually because you wanted the good and love of a sibling; but not all siblings are filled with good and love, ya know? I do think God allows for us to leave our abusers. I try to be estranged without anger, I work on forgiveness- but forgiveness does not mean a free pass to abuse me, so I will do it from afar. I dont know about you, but I had to cut off alot of people in order to make the estrangement complete in the fact that my mental health would stop suffering. |

Deplorable Mary User ID: 74406312 United States 06/12/2019 08:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been estranged from mine for six or seven years. Thankfully we live nowhere near each other so no running into each other. I got tired of her lying, screwing people over, causing unnecessary drama, and the list goes on. Guess what? I don't miss any of that or her. Sounds cruel, but I'm a much happier person. I always tried to keep my distance but she always managed to get me involved somehow. Also, her kids have very little to do with her. |

Pees and Ques User ID: 77699795 United States 06/12/2019 09:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am estranged from both my brother and sister. It has brought me much peace except that I miss my special needs niece that my brother and his wife adopted late in life. The 3 of us fought like cats and dogs growing up. Both of them are very controlling. I was the baby and the runt. Now that my parents are gone we are no longer a family. It is sad but I am happier. I have friends who care a lot more about me than either of them. |
