Have you ever cut off a family member, why?

Yes. About three years ago, I allowed an ex to move back in with me "temporarily" until she got a job. This was at the very beginning of covid times. She was an alcoholic, which is why we broke up, and a condition of her moving back in was no drinking, and she promptly broke that rule.

She thought that we were reconciling and when she got drunk, she got paranoid. One night, she was drunk, started accusing me of "whoring around" on her, and tried to grab my phone put of my hand so she could "find the evidence." I refused to release my phone, she lost her grip, fell backwards, and hit her head. Next she calls the police and accuses me of domestic violence. So the police arrest me because she's bleeding and I'm a guy. In the arrest report, the cop claimed that I confessed to shoving her against the wall. Fortunately, the body cams with audio proved that I never made such a statement and, ultimately, all charges were dropped with an apology from the presiding judge.

The morning after my arrest, my ex called my sister to report her twisted version of events. My sister posted a warning on FB addressed to ALL WOMEN OF JACKSONVILLE, and advised them to beware the dangerous man who you know as OlderAndWiser. That news spread like wildfire among my family and friends. When my mother heard about it, she called my sister and told her to remove the post.

But the harm was already done. And this was the fourth or fifth time that my sister had tried to stab me in the back with something to try to make herself look good to my mother.

So I have cut all ties to that fucking cow and avoid her as much as I possibly can.

Yes, a bro-in-law.

Let's just say he doesn't believe others are entitled to their own opinion if it differs even one iota from his.

I only hate one person for excluding me in my own home. I think it’s because she is close to my mom who slanders me to everyone. My mom knows I won’t protect her when she is old and dying because she tried to murder me when I was 9 years old so she was trying to build connections with my other cousin out of a desire for my cousin to protect her instead.

Yes, I'll cut off all family members once I can finally afford my own house

[Darkest-Knight]

Yes. Because of the way she was treating my father. Mentally abusing him.

No, they cut me off 22 years ago.
