"I haven't spoken to my family for years. I have no idea whether they have been so melodramatic as to declare that they've disowned me but ssuspect so I have long being viewed as a failure and embarrassment too them and no doubt they are ashamed of me to some extent It effects me more than I like to admit" Ok... That ones kinda sad... Failure and embarrassment are relative (to what??) and free spirited and artistic should be appreciated... Reading between the lines of your profile a little, but could be wrong. | |||

"I disowned my mum when she said it served me right my son died, as it was God's punishment for turning my back on him and my dad for travelling 180 miles to deliver the message to me." Ohh... | |||

"Sexysub - i wouldn't give the old racists that much credit... Italians are white Caucasian so not exactly a u turn for them. cheeky- good to hear that you sorted it out. crystal - i share your denial. I love my mum and dad and miss them often." But I'm not white. I'm Indian and my parents aren't racist, it was the perceived shame from the Indian community. This was in the 90's. its so common now it's lost a lot of its taboo. | |||

"I don't understand why sometimes people feel bad about disowning family members. If we had friends that were total arseholes we wouldn't put up with it. Why put up with blood relations being arseholes...?" Donor transplants ? | |||

" C is also Indian. From spending time with her family their community I think myself very lucky in the welcome I received. I like to think that I have also helped with easing some perceptions of her extended family. Parents should be proud that they have done a good job with their children as long as two criteria are met.... Their children are well balanced and not malicious and also happy with life. Jobs and money etc don't mean that much in the grand scheme. | |||

"I don't understand why sometimes people feel bad about disowning family members. If we had friends that were total arseholes we wouldn't put up with it. Why put up with blood relations being arseholes...?" Indeed this ^ But without going into detail I've disowned my mother and all her family. As someone else said - don't want my child growing up with negativity and liars and people who basically harbour criminals. My only regret is ever introducing my child to them at all Have to say I'm surprised at the number of people posting in here. I always feel people look at you a bit strange when you tell them you don't have contact... like it's my fault. No way and my life is happier without them by far. | |||

"My parents love me I'm not sure why though because I was an utter cunt to them for a few years...it makes me ashamed thinking it the stuff I did " because they are your parents and the love you have for your child never goes away and I think most people have been cunts to their parents at sometime. its all part of growing up. | |||

"Some sad shit on here, my heart goes out to you all. " It would be sadder putting up with abusive relationships - in my case thankfully only verbal - but the emotional impact has left me with anxiety from time to time, which is just horrid. | |||

"I'm on the other foot really. One of my children did something so awful it nearly had me in the loony bin & almost lost me a relationship with my mother, sister my son & my grandson. I don't speak to her at the moment & haven't for a few months. I'm hoping for some kind of answers as to why i guess. Sadly as i can't find it in my heart to speak to her yet it may be a long time coming. I hope for some kind of resolve and repair one day, but not yet because at the moment i could quite happily beat the shit out of her & that isn't right either. Eternally hopeful Julie x" you seem reasonable so that's half the problem solved. My mum and dad are completely unreasonable and are defensive, belligerent and playing the victims to divert blame from themselves. Hope you get it sorted eventually | |||

"When I was 18 and still living at home.....my father committed suicide. My mother kicked me out of the house because I reminded her of him. 14 years of silence later I sent her a letter to say, isn't it about time you got over this as you may miss out potentially on future grandchildren. Bearing in mind, this was just a sent letter after 14 years, I received a reply, passed through my grandmother (RIP) to say...If I contacted her again, she would get a restraining order out on me. I felt I had made my effort and she has now been out of my life longer than she was in it for, so now I have accepted it and moved on. Obviously it would be nicer to have had a mother figure in my life but I guess I view it that it would have been nicer to have had a mother figure, I'm kind of happy that she wasn't the mother figure I had in the long run. So in my father committing suicide, it cost me both my parents in one fowl swoop." Wow such a moving story can't believe a mother could do such a thing Uv survived an came through it the better person I applaud u hun good on u xx | |||

"Thanks for sharing that crazy horse. People are affected by bereavement in all sorts of ways. Its eventualities like that that have been the dealbreaker when ive thought about cashing in my chips." You are welcome....and whilst it is easier said than done, the trick is to look forward and not backwards, knowing you cant change peoples opinions but you can keep your head held high and make a better life for yourself...with or without them. | |||

"No, never. Not even when I left my mum's to go live with my dad and not speak to her for a month. She welcomed me back with open arms as if I'd never been so horrible to her x " My mum kicked me out 8 years ago, we still spoke but we were never close. 4 days ago my husband kicked me out, and my mum is letting me stay with her for a couple of weeks. Even though we disliked eachother for years... I don't know what I'd do without my mum... This is actually the first time I've said that about my mum. | |||

"When I was growing up, my mum meant to world to me. She was only 16 when she had me, so there was not the generation gap that some people experience. I am the oldest of 5 kids, and we had a fun time as young children, lots of dancing around and singing like loonies. She was beautiful, intelligent and funny. That all changed when she met a guy she went on to marry, I wont go in to details but he slowly destroyed the women I knew, and in turn she became bitter and twisted. I couldn't handle her anymore, so I finally stopped talking to her. I never spoke to her for 10 years or so. She died 2 years ago, only 58 years old. I never went her funeral, as I could not face it, plus I thought it would be hypocritical to go after not having anything to do with her for so long. I have to live with that decision, but I think I mourned my mother a very long time before she died. I am comfortable with that decision, but I would say to others that are estranged from their family, think how you will feel if they died today and you never had chance to say goodbye..." Im with ya bro an sympathies for your loss. Ppl reading this. this guys so on the nail an I did just has he says before my parents died my decision stood strong when they died ask yourself will your | |||
