Could a family member make you so mad, you could never forgive them?

reading your post, i feel fortunate not to have undergone the same or similar experience with my immediate family. we're quite solid comparatively, and even if we don't express it that much, we know, deep in our hearts that we have this very deep understanding with other. it may somehow be different with an in-law who as in in my case, i consider, yes, toxic - oh, for sure she can really be easily called that-mixing with our family and spreading venom whenever she's around, certainly some of her ways can be unforgiveable. but when it comes to siblings - i can be quite tolerant with them. it will always be the love and concern for them that holds me into our basic familial bond. i can feel for you having this disregards for really 'mean, cruel, hurting' family members. my experience though is limited to these kinds of relatives who are really toxic that it's also easy to disregard and ignore them. but in so far as my immediate family is concerned - they're all i have, and luckily, we just have this intangible strong, unbreakable bond.

I don't think there is anything wrong with doing that. It's happened to me on several occasions with my mom, but since I live with the grandparents and she's really called this place home for most of her life, she still comes back here on occasion trying to act like nothing is wrong and what not. With the current situation, I'm pretty frustrated with everything that's been going on lately, I'm at the point where I don't want much to do with her anymore. I'm just tired of being treated the way I am. She just pollutes the environment and frustrates me to no end. I don't see anything wrong with removing negative people from your life even if that are family members.

well i recently had this misunderstanding about my brother i hated him so much and even told my self i will never ever talk to him but just a day i was already speaking to him and well... just forgive him. i guess it is true that blood is thicker than water alright =)

There is one family member that I refuse to acknowledge, he did something to my daughter and he is totally unrepentent. As far as I am concerned, he is no longer a member of my family.

Actually, I can understand that. It's not bad. I could do the same thing if something honestly was to that extreme that I could never understand why they did it.

Honestly I don't think this is extreme. If I am wrong, God I ask for your forgiveness in Jesus' name. Others, may ask,"how can one disown family?" Well, I am here to say, if you're on the outside looking in, your question will never be answered. I have many toxic family members and I have distance myself from them because I love myself more and they are not worth my health, sanity and dignity. I wish you the best!
