Always knew the day would come, but they have officially disowned me, called me mentally ill, told me im an egoist and irresponsible, shrieking at me about how i'm not thinking about my health. i tried holding out against them, but now i stand my ground, and it looks like family members will be lost in this war

My family disowned me a number of years ago about other important life events and decisions. Brother? Haven’t spoken to in nearly 27 years; sister #2? It’s been 8 years; and sister #1? 3 years. None of it scamdemic related and quite honestly, if it hadn’t happened before now, this most certainly would’ve been a tipping point. I still think about them each nearly every day, hope they are less toxic and more happy (doubt it), but don’t miss them in my life at all. I am a better person without them. I hope the same for you.

Same, bro. Sometimes, you just have to let people go— whether you want to or not. I have family members that I desperately wish I could open my home to, and embrace with all the familial love that I have to give. It's just not possible, anymore. We all have to come to terms with that.

Without conditions love becomes very toxic and destructive. Zero exceptions

I wish more people understood this.

We are raised not to. Why? So that love can be abused leading to manipulation and victimization of younger generations and of course men

If only there was something like unconditional love...

Oh wait! (I know, you don't believe)

The only entity I reserve unconditional love for is myself and God... and God more than myself, because I am but a tiny insignificant fragment of the whole. No stupid thot you pick-up at a bar with half a gram of blow is worth any kind of unconditional anything.

I'm the oldest haven't talked to second oldest brother since 2003.

oldest sister since 2005

next 2 brothers in 5 and 4 years

one sibling I haven't spoken to since 2011 when he passed away. We were on good terms, the only one I really miss.

haven't talked to my mother in 4 years and haven't spoken to my father in over 2 years.

Father has serious issues about the death so I give him a pass.

other wise all various issues which are rather toxic on their end.

with the exception of 2 I'm better off without the rest.

really have no clue how our relationship would have survived through all this.

They most likely would have called me the crazy one and things would have ended anyway.
