Well what did you expect? If you found out news about someone you loved from a random person, wouldn't you be upset that this person you loved didn't tell you themselves?
@bijouxbroussard of course it does, but severing ties of kinship has little to no basis.
“The person who perfectly [b]maintains the ties of kinship[/b] is not the one who does it because he gets recompensed by his relatives (for being kind and good to them), but the one who truly maintains the bonds of kinship is the one who persists in doing so even though the latter has severed the ties of kinship with him“. [Al-Bukhari].
and
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) said:
“The one who severs the ties of kinship will not enter Paradise.” [Agreed upon].
