Blood lines bled dry

I am not sure what it would take for me to turn my back on my family - I shudder to think what it might take! I always tell my kids that no matter what I will love them = I might not like what they do or their behaviour but that doesn't mean I don't love them or will care about them less. I will be honest with my family but that doesn't mean I won't support them or try to help them and cannot foresee the day that would stop for any reason! xxx

Whe you only child steal all you life saving because they thought you were going to die. When you didn't they then tried to sell your house from under you!! That was enought for me to turn my back.

I dont think I would know that until the time comes. It would be hard to figure out where I would stand with some of these issues. I guess that I would make that determination when the time comes and would figure out what sort of family I would like to deal with.

I would go to hell and back for my children unless they were serial killers or something, but I just can't imagine that. I really don't know what I'd do if they were that bad. Some situations are just too hard to predict until we're actually faced with them you know. However, other relatives, it's a different story. I have a twin brother who, if he wasn't related to me, I have nothing to do with at all. Ever since he turned sixteen and decided he was the cat's a*s, I've had very little use for him. I've bent over backwards for him many times over the years, because after all he's my brother, and every time he's let me down and left me shaking my head and kicking myself for being taken in by him again. I finally drew the line on him this past Xmas when he told me that I should have just let my son kill himself when he found out he had cancer.............

i dont think i could ever stand up for a family member that killed some one else with out a good reason (self defense) i dont understand how people can do that!

Hi TLChines, I couldn't turn on my family as I love them very much and we are close, but I can never understand why family would kill each other or hurt one another, theres got to be something wrong with them to do that. Tamara

I would think if a family member tried to kill me or hurt me, then I would turn on that person. It is hard to support a family member when you know they are in the wrong. My kids defend each other. They pick fights with each other as well. They always resolve their fights though.

well if someone in my family killed thier kid, they are on thier own. i will stand up for family members who abuse thier or kill thier own child, let alone abuse thier spouce. i will stand up for my family. i have people talk bad about my one brother and i tell them to stop only i can talk bad about him. but if someone hurts or kill someone in my family i will hunt them down for sure. and pay back will be hell.

I drew my lines in the sand when a family member was sent to prison for being a pedophile and several members wanted to still call this person a Christian. You can do a lot of stupid things as a family member and I'll over look them. (I even over looked a family member that disrespected my personal Katana by throwing it in a fit because I didn't give into her demands, when she was visiting). However, I will not overlook something that is morally wrong, and I certainly don't think this person is a Christian. Namaste-Anora
