That's what I did. No regrets so far.

yes of course? it's not gonna get any better, if you stay you'll just lose your soul and accept their behavior

Just because they are family doesn't give them the right to treat you bad or worse than others. In my eyes, they should be treating you better. I cut out a few family members, after I gave them chances to change their attitudes. Then they didn't, they were gone from my life. No regrets either.

I was my parent's only biological child and I was pushed to the side in favor of the child they adopted. They claimed they loved me equally but never showed it (I know that was for "appearances") they did whatever they HAD to do for me and nothing more, everything was all about him. Even when I got married...both times, my wife was favored over me. I only had one relative that I was ever close to and had connection with and that was my mother's mother (and she passed in 2005). My parents are both gone now and I have put them and all of the trying to establish and maintain a relationship behind me. Their other son, my "brother", has nothing at all to do with me which doesn't hurt my feelings at all. I've washed my hands of my entire former family and I have no regrets.

I did that, it was the best thing I ever did.

You will certainly feel better, in the short term. I have a friend who did that. His wife was undermining him with his children, and refused to discipline them, so the children became drug addicts, and his wife ended up leaving him for another man.

He was so violently hurt by all of the above that he cut them off completely...all of them, but I believe in his heart he still considers himself married, and still regrets what happened. He doesn't even know how to contact his children, if he wanted to do so. All he knows is that his ex-wife moved to Florida.

Now he is dying of lung cancer, and last night, he said to me, "I didn't think I would die alone like this."

I tried to tell him he has plenty of people who love him...and he said he did not mean his siblings, he meant his nuclear family...meaning his ex-wife and kids.

There is some part of him that is so attached to them he can never let go. Somehow, even though your family have done poorly toward you, leave one little window open. Distance yourself, but leave a way open if you should ever decide you want to see them again.

Don't go to your grave with terrible regrets.

Pretty much what happened with me. Not that I want it to happen, yet when the final push happened I just didn't fight it. No point in doing so. Being a half sibling to all the rest just wasn't worth all the pain. None of them really accepted my father either. And what happened to our own mother was the saddest story of all. Everyone except me abandoned her. ;(

Yes.. but over a period of time.. make use of all the abailable resources as they are bound to support you.. and syart building a life outside which you can move into later..

Most get emotionally upset and jump into an independent life without much thought. Rentry then can be a problem. If you are an independent earner, start paying rent n expenses.. just like how you would outside.

you can always disown them and move ahead at liberty... but remember,,,Your family are only blood relations of yours... none else you will call your own.in this earth of millions of Humans....
Except me ofcourse

Family isn't family if they don't act like family.

Statement OR question???

I agree regardless.

Not sure if it would be best but it is what I'd do

As someone who is from a family like that I kept the ones worth speaking to with me and cut off those who were not.

Unless I murdered someone or something I can’t imagine that happening.. 🤔
