Is it cold hearted to walk out on your family and never come back one day?

just leave in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping and never come back. don't tell them so you won't have to face any backlash or bad reactions

[Skinhead-1979]

I don't think so.

I walked out on:

My Mother
My Father
My Grandparents
My Uncles
My Aunts
My Cousins
My Brothers
My Step-Mother
My Step-brother

I can't possibly have forgotten about someone because there's no one left.

I've been abused and neglected by my parents; I've never had a good, close relationship with my brothers nor step-brother; my grandparents felt a need to criticise my useless father during the ugly divorce of my parents, of course I did not accept that; I come out of a 'Blue Family', judgmental Pigs never cared about me.

I have broken with everyone whom I once upon a time called 'Family'; since I live in a different country than where I was born, it was relatively easy to do. While I still officially go by my real name, wherever I can I use my unofficial name; I have as good as taken a completely new identity. Some day I will be British too, but I need £1330 for that; not easy to come by.

Depends if you guys don't really get a long

If you don't and don't see them as actual family, then nope, you don't owe them anything

[Daniela1982]

Depends on why they left. I can see reasons for doing so, such as both physical and verbal abuse.

[Nikki1989]

Not if you have the right reasons.

Depends. Is this real life "sleeping with the enemy"? Or is this a overdramatic chickenhead that needs some reality in her life?

That is what a coward does.
