**Or On Anything. xxoo
Not sure if I did…my ex mother in law. I don’t think I block her…
I don’t block families. I am one to bring harmony to my family.
it makes me sad that people are so mean to blood/siblings/families…
there is nothing in this world that should come between family love.
my mom often tries to instigate among us 4 siblings…she has not been successful…all 4 of us get along well…when I listen to her…I immediately intervene… that all 4 of us talk almost daily and we care and help each other all the time. We also run side business together … so I said to her… to be grateful to have given birth to 4 amazing children.
always be kind to each other.

I changed my number years before blocking was a capability. So yeah, they're still blocked so-to-say.
I had to block my narcissistic aunt on more than one occasion. She needs to bitch, it's an obsession to her, and with me not around for get to diminish or downgrade, she is going crazy, so she's trying to find me
Last year she was trying to get me to kill myself, and then she poisoned some of my juicein the refrigerator. Sometimes blocking family members is the best option.
I don't think I've ever had any reason to do that. I avoid a couple of family members on Facebook because I don't like their posts, but I've never blocked anyone that I could think of from any form of communication.

i have blocked my mom a couple times because she wouldn't stop texting me insane things and it was causing me to have panic attacks so i had to block until it blew over
Yes. I understand where the term ‘family is family’ comes from, but I also fully support removing someone from your life if they are toxic and do no well in your life. I’ve had to remove/block my sister on multiple occasions, and on multiple platforms due to ongoing toxicity. I always attempt to give the benefit of the doubt and attempt to give another chance - especially if they put in effort to show that they have changed or attempted to improve/be less toxic, but when it comes down to it, you have to worry about yourself and surround yourself with what makes you happy.
And that’s not even touching base on some of the more crazier situations like other comments have said hahaha - I believe it definitely goes on a case to case basis, but there should be no guilt when it comes down to looking out for yourself and removing toxicity from your life.
Can't say I have. I do have a couple people whom I haven't talk to in years, much due to political differences and estrangement from the rest of the family. But if they called me, I would answer because they are family and would love do hear how they are doing and if they need help they can come back to me. Sad really, how people disassociate with family because of how we vote.
After my dad almost seriously hurt me, I tried to report him to the police! I reached the police station and he would’ve been arrested that night if Mom didn’t call me and stop me. So I told her that I was going to block Dad from my phone and she told me not to do that because if something happened and he needed to get ahold of me, I needed to answer him. I don’t have anyone blocked from my phone, but I keep my sounds turned off and I turned off the vibration.
No i haven’t blocked a family member or a relative.
yes.
mother, sister and brother when I moved out mom's abusive home. Didn't need them saying they hoped I was raped and left for dead in a ditch.a cousin and her mother, her affairs not to my liking and her mother is aware but doesn't stop her, i have no business with people like this.
I have but only occasionally and for a few hours at a time. Sometimes the calls can be annoying I hate to admit.
I would have blocked my aunt (my dad's older sister), but she was never given my cell number. She was such a bitch that my other aunt (her own sister) told my dad jokingly "I think Marv (her husband) died just to get away from her"
I never had a need to. Although l I did have an urge to do so.
Yeah me and dad hasn't always been on best terms.
We okay now though.There are times I have thought about blocking a family member from my phone. I did not do it. I left them unblocked in order to give them a way out, when they came to their senses. I would stop my phone from ringing when they call; sending them straight to messages. If it is important, I will call them back.
Some times I'd like to, but with some of my dad's family, you never know when that next annoying call or text will be the last one anyone ever gets. (Some of the having bad health.)
No but if my mother was still alive I would have her sent directly to voicemail.
No, and I never would. I family is all you have.
not that I can remember not to say there hasn't been times I wanted to
I don’t usually block people especially if they are family xx
Yes, on Facebook. They might be family, but they aren't always understandig of what they see on a social network
You should never block a family member. That's playing with fire. Family is too important to lose.
I had to block my babies dad because a restraining order is in place.
