I'll detail mine once I get to a key board tomorrow, but tell me, from the vintage point-of-view, I can't be the only one who wants to completely divorce myself from a brother or sister!

What's your story? Do you have one you would like to just completely remove from you life /your personal family's life?

I can't be the only one, right?

No You are not alone. I have one that was born evil. I don't think of her often.

Thanks for reminding me.

Fortunately, I've got no need to distance myself from any siblings. We've had minor issues here and there, (I have five siblings) but thankfully we all get along. I know many families who do have issues. It's common. Unfortunate, but common.

Issues often show up when an elderly parent needs care, decisions have to be made as to who will do what, opinions vary, people clash and then there's the other big issue..........money.

It can be a big amount or a small amount, but money can cause big troubles.

 

Well there's siblings and then there's siblings in law.

I agree!

 

I have a brother who told me to loose his address, three years ago, when I sent him some childhood photos. I was hurt but since I think he's a POS person, and had everything to do with my mother's death, it wasn't hard to do. I have a half-sister I grew up with who I don't want to know anything about. I haven't seen her in 30 or so years. I also have a half-sister I visit and keep in touch with, and another one who doesn't care to keep in touch, but who is okay.

 

I think you probably have plenty of company. I have a half sister who is a cowardly, meddling, two-faced, backstabbing busybody - much like her late father. I wrote her off after exposing her to the rest of the family for what she is. I wouldn't shed a tear if she dropped dead today.

 

Wow...
I grew up with my sister, she is 3 years older, she has always been my sister for all intense and purposes. It was when I was 18 that I learned my mom and dad were my mom and dad, and she was from mom's 1'st marriage, so my dad was not hers, but dad treated her just like me and she always treated him as if he was her real dad.
We never really got along kids she was always kind of mean to me but things were ok. The 1st major fall out was a Christmas at her and husband's house when I was in college. The following year I pretended I could not go all the way there for the holiday and stayed home. I later learned I broke mom's heart because I was not there. So I learned to put mom and dad first and just ignore the sisters crap.
Then dad died and since then she has just become more of a biitch than ever. She has excommunicated me from her family and all my nieces and nephews are stuck in the middle. She has also go on to treat her own mom like crap.
In simple terms I nor her own mom are good enough, we are too inferior to be a part of her family.
I have not had any communications with her in over a year and I have to say, I don't miss her f'ing judgemental chit one sigle bit.

 

My wife has a brother that the family has disowned for about 13 yrs now.

The reason for the saying, you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family.

But then again there was something about a nose....I can't remember.
