For any reason? Have you done this? I wouldn't want to disown anyone in my family, and although some of my extended family irks me, I wouldn't disown them. And I would never disown my kids under any reason, or circumstance. What about you? What are your thoughts on this?

no, i don't so. family will always be family come what may. i had a cousin before who has caused us some bad reputation. i still claim him to be a close relative in blood and in relationship to the family. he was very close to us. no matter what we hear about him, we still loved him dearly.

Yes and we have done it before. My brother was gone for five years and he was basically disowned and more recently my sister in law turned into a big b--ch and was evil to everyone over her wedding and more. So, none of us went to the wedding and we haven't seen or talked to her since. She hasn't attempted to make any contact with us and it's been 6 months. I wonder how long it will last. Who knows, only time will tell.

Nope- I would hope that no one would ever do anything that serious to be disowned. I haven’t ever- I can’t imagine having to ever- I can’t say that if my cousin or someone went on a murdering rampage I would not disown them- I don’t know. I can’t imagine ever disowning my daughter- I don’t think I ever would no matter what she did!

well i would never disown any family member or my children...because i will be responsible for my family once i start earning and i will be responsible for my children also...no matter what happens i will not run away from something just by disowning them...

Yes i personally have! My sister!! She has messed over my whole family money wise and then choose my ex roommate over me!! She and my ex roommate tried to destroy my crediblity and life... but little do they know all they did was make themselves look bad!!!!
I wouldnt have done this but it was a family wide decision .... plus the fact she's screwed me over in the past!!! Lets see moved to Utah to help her with her son while I was in job corps! I went to go on a weekend pass to find out she left and went to south carolina with out telling me!!! So then about 4 years later she needs my help again and dumb ole me giving her another chance gets screwed again I moved out there to help her... and her old man and I got in a arguement and I got kicked out on the streets with no where to go PREGNATE with her niece!!! Yeah I think I have plunty of reasons to disown my sister!!!!!

I have not....yet. But I was thinking of it today, that a situation might come up and this will happen. I have a step daughter who has told lies on me and stirred a lot of family trouble for me and will not make it right with the ones she told the lies too, so I basically have washed my hands of her. I was always so good to her, I treated her much better than her own mother did, I spent my own money on her and I'd spoil her. But the rift has gotten wider and now she still treats her dad like dirt, she may graduate from high school this next friday, and has not sent him an invitation, she sent one to his brohter who lives next door though. So yes, I can see it happening to one of your kids. I guess unless you walk in those shoes, it's hard to say what you would do.
