I have disowned my ex-baby sister!
Edited on Tue Apr-01-08 07:55 AM by Lady Freedom
I now only have 2 siblings! You do not jail your parent when you go on a destructive rampage in their home! We, as a family have tried to help her with all her problems. We even tried to let her know how to get out of what she clams to be an abusive environment. Well guess what! She can go burn it hell with all I care!

3. omg, sounds like you're going thru something really terrible
:hug:

all you can do with a sociopath is get out of their line of sight in my experience, they can't be helped

and even if they're only a part-time sociopath (say they are bipolar) in my experience the damage they do is so great that it's just better to cut them off and let the professionals see if they can be helped, one of my friend's siblings has cost the family probably over a million dollars because of his bipolar issues (the mania when it can't be controlled by medication is SOOO destructive not just to the person but to the life and finances of anyone who gets close to that person)

5. Yes and yes.
He is back at home safe. And I guess I knew it was a matter of time before she would blow and do something that would hurt them and/or herself. Thats why dad tried to stop her from, and I quote,"ripping the phone out of the wall". From what was told to me, and it does go along things that I have seen her do, she was mad at mom and was going to throw it at her. Mom is fragile, and the Diabetes doesn't help. If that phone would have hit her in the head, she would have had to go into the hospital!

6. I was disowned by my oldest sibling
Obviously there's no excuse for what she did and any sane person would be completely pissed off at her.

Hopefully she'll get her life back on track and hopefully some day the two of you will be able to repair your relationship.

7. I have disowned one of my older brothers.
He is the meanest person on earth. He actually had the nerve to ask me why I was so upset that he called my hubby a stupid f*cking truck driver! He also said one of my daughters was fat and should eat another sandwich. Mind you he said all of this and more to someone else in the family. How stupid. My other brother is an alcoholic who gets all of his bills paid by my Mother and Step Dad because he is just too tired to work. Poor baby. He has also caused havoc with his violent outbursts. My Mom just pays him his "hush money" so he stays away and no one will find out we have an alcoholic in the family. I am so sorry you are going through this stuff. I sure do know how you feel. Sometimes you just have to do some tough love on members of your own family to save your own sanity. Peace is more important than continuing our ties with people just because we happen to be related. Hugs and support to you Lady Freedom. Stay strong.

10. She went on one of her rampages.
Dad had to stop her before she hurt someone. He just blocked her from throwing the phone at mom. She called the police and said he assaulted her! She didn't tell the police that she was trying to hurt my mom!

12. Does your sister lie herself crazy as well?
My sister does......she lies and lies and lies...and works herself up into a lather. She doesn't throw things, but then again we don't see her often. :eyes:

She's almost 41, she needs to grow up.

11. I am sorry you have had to do this.
But I understand why someone might do this. I have been disowned by family, and happily reciprocated. We haven't missed each other in years. It works out for the best.

:hug:
If your former sister is that destructive and refuses to help and refuses to take any responsibility for her actions then what other choice do you have? :(

13. Sorry this is happening.
I'm thinking of disowning my sister. She's just the meanest, nastiest piece of work, and crazy as a bedbug. The irritating thing is that she's a licensed counseling social worker, specializing in mental illness/substance abuse dual diagnosis work. But no one can stand her--not family nor others--because she's just so angry all the time. Makes no sense, cuz she's got a pretty good life, compared to people with good reason to be angry. And she just does not see her dysfunction. And I'm about done with it.

So, I completely support you in this!

14. Thank you!
My mom is so upset she feels as if she s losing everything that means anything for her. Her husband may go to jail, her children are at war and she may never see her grandson again.

15. I feel your pain.
I disowned a 20-something niece because she was mean, abusive, and hateful to me (and to a lot of other people). She denied responsibility for her behavior.

She's a real Jekyll and Hyde. If she thinks she can get expensive gifts or a legacy out of somebody, she's all sweetness and light. Around me she's a greedy, hateful bitch.

Sorry that happened to you and your parents.
