Ever decided to disown a family member? My brother has always had other people’s back except mine. Every time I reach out to him he judges my decisions, my life, my choices in food. Everything I do is stupid and he doesn’t really seem to reciprocate love for me or my family. I’m actually considering disowning him legally. I hate it, but he’s not supportive, and I’m always put down, laughed at and judged.
I want no connections to him or his family anymore. I’m tired of giving and never being considered.

Yes, I hate my brother. Hes basically everything I hate about a person. I hate that. I never said that to his face though.

This is exactly how I feel about my brother. I may add, he told me he would cut family out if he had to, so for me that means I would also be removed from his life. He has always been there for others, but the few times I needed him, he spat in my face and shoved me aside. Friends mean more to him than me. So I’m done with him forever.

I disowned my brother for awhile. don’t want to get into why. then last year he called me up and wanted to go for a hiking trip. so I reluctantly agreed and now have forgiven him in my own way. but I don’t hear from him much, which I resent still. he’s just an after thought now for me as he lives 1600 miles away or something like that.

My father, I’ve forgiven him, but that doesn’t mean I need his crap in my life. It’s healthier for me without him.
My uncle turned his back on the whole family. Left us in a time of need. You don’t turn your back on your mother with cancer. I forgive him, but I won’t accept that level of betrayal in my life.
My life is better not grasping to these toxic relationships, regardless of blood bonds

That’s true. For so long I held on to my brother, hoping he would change over time. I feel like he’s just gotten worse. I’m done being belittled. I have no brother. As far as I’m concerned I’m an only child.
I’ve absolutely cut off family members.
About half.
When I had my baby, some of my family didn’t approve of my decision to have him adopted by amazing gay parents.
I dropped them like a hot potato.
If people can’t support you and love you, even if they are family, they’ve got no place in your life.

Naw, sadly you still have a brother, and you may see him at times.
I would attempt shallow communications, “Hi” “bye” “how’s the weather” but the second they start in on me, I would probably of left.
