my dad refused to speak to me for several months, then acted like *i* was the one not speaking to him. he threatened to disown me if i didn't start speaking to him again... let's just say i don't have a dad in my life anymore lmao. good riddance to the man, i hope both sides of his pillow are forever warm.

I’m in a different situation, my dad died when I was about 14, but my girlfriend has an amazing dad and he’s became a father figure, there’s still hope you can find one even if it’s a friend etc, sometimes relationships you make yourself are just as strong or stronger than blood

[@haylestormable]

My dad apparently disowned me because I put him in his place and called him out on all the hurt he caused me. This includes him going out and finding a new family while still being married to my mom- causing her to take all her anger out on us, going out and buying his new kids all sorts of stuff while giving us their hand me downs, paying their college tuition and furnishing their dorms while telling me to take out college loans, ditching my wedding because his wife (who wasn't invited and runs every event she goes to) was told to leave, doing all the dad stuff for his step daughter when she got married (all the stuff he wouldn't do for me). But the FINAL straw was when I found out my brother was molested by his son in law and DID ZERO ABOUT IT, meaning he said "there's nothing I can do about it now" when my brother found the courage to speak up. I called him out for all this stuff... all he had to say was "stop living in the past". I was told by others he disowned me, but jokes on him I disowned him ages ago

The 2nd to last story with the abusive mother really pissed me off. When are we gonna start listening to our kids when they tell us they’ve been abused? Look at how long the Catholic Church got away with it…and we had the balls to give Sinead O’Connor a bunch of shit for calling them out on it, when nobody else was coming forward. Child abuse is one of the most heinous things in this world. We need to take our heads out of the sand and start dealing with it.

[@marialindell9874]

Also parenting while blind is something adults need to understand, accept, apply in their oen life and build up on. Saying as a younger person fed up with people who defend old-school parenting styles. Like if what we would call "gentle parenting" (= treating your kid as an actual human being, teaching them about emotions and trying to make them their best, most healthy adult self) has been proven to be the best, most functioning and successfull way to parent, then why are people defending abuse?! You don't need to hit your child, manipulate them, lie to them, inflict fear on them or neglect them to "keep order in the house". You can talk it out, show that everyone makes mistakes and how to learn from them, show that everybody feels the same emotions as they do, answer their questions, give them some time to just breathe and just hang out and bond. You can't use a literal child as a punching bag or something to dump your own negativity to. Be an abult and speak to your friends, the neighbour, a professional, anoneymously and learn from those emotions. *Strict parents grow lying, mentally ill, insecure, non-functioning kids that will not be able to handle the world once they grow up.* Just because you "turned out fine" when you got *hit* as a child doesn't mean it's the truth. Go to a psychologist, talk it out, ask about differences in studies in gentle parenting and "old school" parenting. Also I have how between different cultures we just say that being literally abused as a child is "okay" because it's "dicipline". Like in black communities and hispanic communities abuse is extreamly normalised.

[@taniwha3706]

@@marialindell9874 you need to meet more people of different ethnicities. What you speak of is not limited or majorly a problem or extremely normalised to those two ethnicities you named. Each and every ethnicity does it. Strictly bc damaged adults / parents exist worldwide in every ethnicity. It is a sad fact of life that damaged people damage other people. By singling out one or two ethnicities that merely continues the weird habit of blaming behavioural problems on certain ethnicities, instead of admitting that it happens in each and every ethnicity.

If under 18 and kicked out that's child abandonment if locked out and a child it is not criminal entry it's wilful abandonment all I can think is why not give the dad full custody the only answer I can get is child support money and keeping kids out of foster care because dad worked to much either way cops will visit if split custody and it is more than ok to report abuse and criminal neglect and attempted abandonment.

My narc MIL disowned my husband over 10 times for wanting a relationship with me. He finally woke up and doesn’t consider them family anymore. We have been together for 22 years and she is still trying to break us up. Narcs have a emotional incestuous relationship with their child and can never let them out of their grips. Now she has nobody in her life including her only grandchild. Karma is a biznitch

[@bobbywamsley4828]

I feel like I've been disowned as it is, my mother's a narcissist and she knows how to get around town, dragging my youngest sibling around. She's so wrapped up in her lies that she believes her cheating, kicking my dad out while he was at work, accusing him of a bunch of lies and trying to turn us three kids against the kindest man we knew, somehow everything is my fault and she hates me for it. I'm not allowed to contact my youngest brother, my dad doesn't have much time left to live but his habits just turned toxic so I moved several states away and have been so much better off. If anyone's in a similar situation, just leave, family is just a word and I regret leaving the rest of the family behind every day. However, at the end of the day, I'm better off as they usually talk too much

I had been an atheist for about two years at the time, and since it was halfway though my first year of college, I wanted to be honest with everyone around me about it so I didn't have to pretend. I publicly came out as one, and was disowned by my parents as soon as I confirmed that I was serious about not being Christian anymore. If it matters, my parents are Evangelicals, not Mormons or JWs.

Wow, the woman in the second story really hits close to home. My mother, in spite of cloaking herself in churchish piousness always put herself first through 5th place. We kids got enough consideration to justify her being a stay at home mom who hadn't worked a day in her life after getting married (at 18, dad was 19) and spent a ton of time and dad's money on her hobbies. I recall being drug through an endless procession of fabric stores. Mind you, mom had made a couple quilts...14-15 years earlier but just collected fabric the rest of her life. The 5,000 SF barn of a house she took from dad in the divorce was CRAMMED TO THE CEILING when she died with sewing stuff, fabric, used commercial and upper end kitchen tools. (She had pretty much stopped cooking when we got into the 5K SF house, don't know why she needed all the cooking gadgets) There were crooked little paths between collapsing piles of everything, she was a hoarder like you'd see on a TV show. Both her and dad kicked me out of the house at 16, forced me to go to court and become an emancipated minor so they couldn't be held liable for anything I might do. (I wasn't a wild or troublemaking kid, no run in's with the police, no drinking or drugging, no partying, soon after getting kicked out, I had 4 part time jobs while still going to high school) Not the same as being disowned but in some ways worse. At 19 I had a trade, (house framing) was getting ready to hitch hike out West, selling my few meager possessions, taking every scrap of work for any pay I could find, saving up every and I mean EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING.CENT. I had, all told, just under $700 saved a week before I was to leave. Wasn't much but it was what I had managed to scrape together in 6+ months. My mother forced me to get a life insurance policy and name her as the beneficiary. Which wouldn't have bothered me, I was off on an adventure that could be dangerous and somebody might as well make some money if I die, no, the slap in my face was SHE MADE ME PAY FOR THE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY OUT OF MY MEAGER SAVINGS. If she had paid for it, I wouldn't have minded but, despite her and dad being plenty well off, I had to pay for it. So I headed out West with less than $600 to my name that had to last until I found work. Women (and men, too) have a strong tendency toward gynocentrism but my mother really set a new benchmark in that department.

[@kaelanirevyruun1676]

The story at 19:20 reminds me of what I consider to be my second family... They attended a Revival center here in Geelong (Look up "Pastor hollens a current affair" if you want that part of the story), and hollens made Anna, tje woman I consider to be my adoptive grandma, choose: Her then newborn grandson Jacob... Or the Church. Two of her kids chose the church over her, out of 5. Anna Maria, her daughter, and her son Romuoldo both chose her... Her son Aurellio took a bit longer to wake up to the truth but he in time chose her as well. Needless to say, she was quite happy with her choice; If I recall she even helped bring the center down too 🤣

[@DreamlandRoses]

Not disowned per se but not allowed at my mothers funeral, Growing up I wasn’t allowed to be mad at the things she did and my brother made it a point for me not to complain about it by threatening me not to show up. She signed me up for weight loss class when I was 17 and without my consent, She ruined my self-esteem when my ex cheated on me, causing me to fall into a deep depression. She and the neighbor used to name call me and give me backhanded insults, constantly complained about my body being fat. Always insulting my outfits and simultaneously praising the neighbors daughter for not being a fuck-up. When I developed a literal eating disorder, and started to drop weight, she complained I was getting too thin, so she slipped protein powder into my food, to keep me from losing weight. Whenever I bring anything up about her being a literal self-important narcissist, she always said “it was for the best” or “I’m being ungrateful” for the life I’ve been given. She pulled the “You have food on the table, a roof over your head, you live in a safe neighborhood- Etc.” Card. When I was being bullied in senior year, she told me to deal with it myself, and yet somehow I don’t know how to feel about her. I’m angry, but I’m also deeply sad about her.

I've also broken free from my family, they wrecked my physical health and mentally abused me in order to keep control. I was eventually 'saved' by an abusive man who wasn't quite as good at keeping control, just good at using his fists and keeping them away from me. In that time I could focus on rehabilitation, learned to walk again, and eventually, despite eternal gratitute and putting up with all his bullshit, left him when I realised he was trying to get me pregnant and I could not bring a child into that life. I've been on my own ever since and times have been uncertian and scary, but I'm finally at a point it's getting more stable and I couldn't be happier. I'll fight tooth and nail to keep that freedom, despite my mother trying to gain back control. Funny part is, she did try to threatnen me to disown me, but she can't. She can disown me from her share and has, but she has control over my share from my father's inheritance, which is more than she currently owns and then there's the equal amount she owes my brother. So unless she wins the lottery or something, she'll never have enough money to leave even a penny behind herself.

[@The3ninjakids]

Not me, but my dad. He grew up in a Catholic family that was very loving, welcoming, had parties for damn near everything, and was always finding something to laugh about. On holidays, the house would be packed with cousins and family alike. Then, my dad decided to divorce my mom. Since the family was Catholic, such an act didn’t really go over well, but there wasn’t really any bad blood. That was, until my mom decided to dip her toe in this murky water. For years, there had been speculations that my mom wasn’t mentally well, and my dad divorced her because she refused to get such a thing checked out and he was resorting to alcohol to dull the pain. When the divorce became final, that’s when my mom’s true colors shined. She accused my dad of “cheating” (despite having been moved out and checked out of the marriage when he decided to see other people) and went around parading that story to anybody she saw, presenting it as fact. This included my dad’s brother, who was his best man at his wedding to her. This resulted in a rather angry series of texts and even a Christmas card, scrutinizing my dad, saying “I can’t believe you did that to [my mom]” and that he “abandoned the family” (even though he saw and talked to us kids on a regular basis.) On a brighter note, the rest of the siblings were more sympathetic towards my father, despite not really believing in that. Shit really hit the fan when my grandma passed and the will was being discussed. This was during Covid, so already, there was distance. Through some complicated BS, my dad didn’t see eye to eye on what the rest of the family wanted to do with my grandma’s will (letting my aunt continue to live in a big empty house alone,) and thus, he had been disowned by the family… To an extent. He still sees most of them (sans the angry brother), but whenever I see my aunt post a “family card night” on Facebook, he’s never invited. I guess it just goes to show you that even the happiest of families can be broken.

[@marialindell9874]

I may sound like an asshole, but I do think it's better to leave a person be if they don't want to have mutual contact. Say that they can call you up and leave it at that. If they want to talk, then they can call. Your father made the right choice for himself. I don't believe one should be forced to visitations if they don't want to. Just give full custody and rights to the other parent. And if you are the child then leave the person be. You can't know the reasons behind it.

In a way, I was disowned by my uncle (just like my whole family) but he is totally in the wrong and we all disowned him too. He got with some lady who thought my extended family was bad news, and after 2-3 years, in 2016, he completely cut off all contact with us and refuses to reconnect because he thinks we don’t like the lady’s kids that she had from some other guy (I mean, we didn’t, but we didn’t make that known to him, only my other uncle, who is a great guy, did). When my other uncle wished him a happy birthday as a peace offering, the bad uncle went off on him for everything he “did”, saying we excluded the kids at family gatherings and stuff of the sort, which we didn’t. My good uncle told him to screw off and my mom (bad uncle’s sister) sent him a 10 paragraph text basically saying how he fractured this family and how she doesn’t want contact from him again. My grandma (his mom) is torn up about it but has recently come to terms with the fact that he is bad news and isn’t reconciling, and my grandpa (his dad, whose health has been declining as of recently) hates him and has it in writing that he doesn’t want him at his funeral. He still helps anyway with taking him to the grocery store and to appointments on occasion, but he does it a fraction of the times my mom, her twin sister and their older sister (my two aunts who are great people) do, and my dad (who can’t stand bad uncle either) debatably does it more. As for me, I was always pretty close with bad uncle when I was younger. He was pretty bad into marijuana in his late 30s, and during his time living in a small apartment below my house, he would often invite me into his place to play Skyrim and Sonic with him. I played Minecraft with him too, a lot. I haven’t spoken to him since 2016 or 2017, almost 10 years ago, and I don’t plan on it anytime soon. He was taking my grandfather to an appointment one morning this past summer while I was mowing my grandparents’ lawn and I walked back to my house while he was there. He seems like a good person deep down just looking out for his wife and her kids, but I will never forgive him for giving my grandparents so much heartache and for disrespecting the good uncle (my mom’s twin sister’s husband), who I have since thought of as my one and true uncle and has helped me with college applications and internships. I speak to him regularly and value my relationship with him greatly.

I haven't been disowned but my mom is a narcissist, whom of which doesn't accept my girlfriend because she doesn't like her family or probably her. Usually when I am around, she would talk badly of her which I have told her to not do that, but she would say how she is correct, and she tells "truths" I only see them as opinions. She would do that around family or every time I came over to her house. In the past her boyfriend would come to my job just to bring outside problems into my work. Recently she just comes to my job to give me looks which is childish. I even told my girlfriend about the things my mom has said about her and her dad. She loves her dad a lot and he is a pretty cool dude. I have told my mom many times how it makes me feel and she ignores my feelings completely. My mom got mad at a post which she thought was about her but was a co-worker who was pretty rude to her because she is from California and "knows things." So, she said some pretty nasty things on easter. My mom has been cold with me if I don't think she is correct. She seems try to appeal to a lot of people and takes too long to do clothes and stuff. She doesn't make me feel valued when it is me just around her but when other people talk about how nice and kind, I am she talks me up and is like teehee that is my son. She always picks at everything I do takes any little thing and makes it into something big and horrible with me and telling me how to live my life when I am happy with my girlfriend just not with her anymore. I had another talk with her and she said she will try to give my girlfriend a chance as if saying she never did give her a chance. She is cold with me right now and I will see how she is with her actions. I used to be a mama's boy and if she doesn't shape up I may have to cut ties with her. She already lost my sister.

[@Blablablagailshell123]

My grandpa screamed at me in my driveway accusing me of stealing from my cousin the day before(I didn’t). My sister even came out in my defense and he said I brainwashed her. The day before was thanksgiving at my uncles house. I had to work that day but got off early enough to still celebrate and my sister picked me up to take me there. I was 20 years old and my sister was 17. I worked in the service deli and we were up to our eyeballs in fried chicken orders. Needless to say my clothes reeked of fried chicken and grease. I brought a change of clothing with me and went to change in the bathroom when we got to my uncles house. My sister came with me because she had to pee. I changed and all was good with the rest of the day. Well my sister noticed the ring in the bathroom by the sink and it was obviously my cousins. Definitely not expensive or anything. Something you’d buy at Claire’s for $10. My sister didn’t like my cousin so she pocketed it. Well my cousin noticed later on after the day wrapped up and told my grandfather and he drove to our house and screamed at me and my whole neighborhood heard. I was in shock and denied it vehemently. My sister told him there was no way I did it and she was there with me but I was already guilty no matter what. The amount of hate and disgust he displayed in his voice was devastating for me. I felt so low. I don’t think it was the fact I was being falsely accused that hurt so terribly, it was the automatic response that it was me who did and no one else. My whole family knew. That single act caused me to greatly distance myself from my family and I never felt comfortable around any of them after that. People ask me why I didn’t tell them it was my sister. It would have been pointless to do that. They already had their assumptions sealed in by my grandfather. It was over 20 years ago and it still haunts me. I can still hear the disdain and loathing in my grandfather’s voice and the things he said. No one wants to be told you’re evil and a very bad person especially by your own family. None of them loved me and it showed. I still struggle wondering if I’m a terrible awful evil person like he said. Still relevant because I did disowned myself from them just as much as they did to me. Might be considered silly to feel like that all these years later. But I can still hear in his voice everything he felt about me. I’ve never ever had that level of hate directed at me like I did that day.

[@JuanHernandez-tg7kv]

It would be interesting to hear the other sides of the stories .

[@raxevonapbwd8769]

Interesting that most of these are about mothers.

[@joneli5888]

Yeah, mostly when you hear about dads being crappy it involves them GTFO-ing.

[@TOMMY716]

It's a bit old but the one about the guy who family just all take turns being the distilling person I'm going to be honest what happens if she actually saw someone do a really bad thing but she can't really do anything because she's not in the right State of Mind you guys are all taking turns thinking it's a joke what if it's a very serious thing what happened to she saw someone do something to her grandchild what if she saw someone do something horrible to someone what if she feeding abuse getting stuff stolen from her and you guys all just like all it's okay she's just crazy let's just all take turns and make it a joke

My dad left me when I was 12 because of a stupid movie and politics (the movie rating was literally below 1 star) he started rambling about religion the bible and I should be like the presidents son He left because I was to rude and "I was acting smarter than my" he said I should be embarrassed because I was acting smarter" I was literally screeming and crying while he called my aunt who I lived for most of my life and said he will cut off the money he was giving because he disowned me and my older sister she was furious and said he didn't even once thanked her for raising my sister and me for how long. I now hate him he blocked me now me and my sister both hate him Just because I didn't read the bible

The mom that kicked out the 15 and 13 year old after divorcing the dad didn't deserve the air she breathed.

[@kristyalberton9498]

This is proof that some people should never be parents. I am sorry for all the abuse, neglect, and manipulation the people in this thread endured.

[@JudeNance]

My mother killed my older sister and attempted to kill my youngest sister. She bragged about her trying to kill others. When she got a rifle to kill my dad. I had her committed for trying to kill him. She left a paragraph about how she hated me and I wasn't to inherit any thing.

[@deszalt4492]

Breeder behaviour confuses me, like to just make babies and then tell them to get lost after? What wonderful "parents." Tf is the point of doing this? Fuggin' neuter yourself and fool around then if that's what you want. Man, I hope these folks are living their best despite their trashy birthgivers.

[@vidhead85]

Then they tell us childfree people we're selfish...

[@briskettacos]

Breeder is a slur. There's a distinction between negligent parents and regular parents, so just say that.
