Has any of you COMPLETELY cut relations with family?

I am seriously considering to completely cut relations with my siblings when i move to Canada... Seems cold hearted... but the way I see it, the relationships is already COMPLETELY not there with the majority of them, and pretty much not there with the rest, and the fact that it barely exists causes me a lot of stress... So why keep it around? What good is it doing me?

Especially that once I move to Canada, I do NOT want to pretend to be Muslims, not with anyone, not even them... and so knowing that they won't like it and will look down upon me for it, and will overstep their boundaries, I think it may be best to just cut it entirely.

I support your decision. If they'd rather lose you over religious bullsh*t it's not worth doing any unilateral effort to keep them around in the first place.

@Elessar My relationship with them deteriorated since they JUST "suspected" about religion, so imagine how it would be when I outright say it and live my life completely as a non Muslim, in the sense that they would know that I could have non marital relations/drink/or dress however I wish.. I can't see it doing any good and the thing is, I do not want to pretend and hide when I talk to them, while I do these things because I am away... Yea I won't have to pretend in real life because they won't be around, but then, why did I even immigrate if I am still going to lie about it!! I do not want to pretend in ANY way! I am sick of and done with that!
