Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
Yes my dad and most of his side of the family including his wife and my 1/2 brother.
Why?? Because he chose his wife and son over his daughter (me) and let her dictate his relationship with me. Need less to say it's a lonnnnnnnnnng story.
I have no regrets... i am sure he does though.....
He now has a gorgeous grandaughter that he will never know.

Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
Wow I thought I was the only one with a disfuntional family (lol)
Yes at this point in time I am not speaking to my sister.. She totally blamed my son for hurting my nephew (they are 5) after calling her for months.. Never returned my calls and finally telling me this was the reason...
Hello grow up.. I thought she would of been my BF and Sister forever...
Sorry for her....

Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
Hmmm... let's see...
Temporarily not speaking to MIL and BIL.... depending on how stupidly they continue acting is how long this temporary thing will last...
My dad's family we still don't talk to. I haven't seen my dad's sister in over 20 years along with her kids and families. There was a rumor a while ago that my dad's brother drowned in a pool... we have yet to confirm this... Very morbid, but true... Haven't seen that disgusting, pervert of a man in over 20 years...
My half-siblings (sis/brother) are completely detached... I completely disagree with their lifestyles... I wouldn't even go to their funerals... What they did to my family is unspeakable...
If people keep pissing me off, they will be added to my list!!!

Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
My uncle (mom's brother). Within the last year we have really seen his true colors & saw how money hungry & jealous he really is of the life my parents have. He decided to drag my parents through this legal battle on our summer place that was built by my grandfather (his father) & was "suppose" to be passed from generation to generation & never be sold. My parents would NEVER sell this house bc we do enjoy our summers there & would never disrespect my grandfather's wishes! My parents have paid the bills & upkeep on the house for the past 8 years & he NEVER paid a dime! Now he thinks he is intitled to "fair" market value of a house that he never put any money into! Hence, it is a long drawn out thing & now my parents had to sell their house here on LI just to give him some $$ & get them him of their back! Great way to RUIN a family!
As you can see, I am quite bitter bc I can't see how single minded a person can be on something they never wanted anything to do with & now want a payout!

Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
I don't speak to my BIL. There are many reasons, but to name a few he
1-stole DH's credit card and used it to buy airfare for himself from CA to NY, and now refuses to hold a job long enough to pay me and DH back for the money
2-he told me i don't know how to be part of a family and he wished DH never married me.
i speak to my father very little because he has a habit of making me feel bad about myself, but we do speak.

Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
Yes, my brother, though he doesn't quite know it yet because he has his head so far up his own arse he wouldn't even know if someone was ignoring him for months on end 
He lives in VA, and for the past 10 years has visited me twice, has visited my father once. He pretends he isn't jewish, and for most of his life, denied that he had any brothers or sisters (he has me, and my brother). He has always been on the weird side (walked the appalachian trail by himself, raises a bee farm, hiked the scottish highlands, came home and is now convinced he's scottish and wears a kilt everyday to work - um, hello, YOU ARE JEWISH!).
But, the breaking point for me was a few months ago when my father had heart surgery. My brother never even called to check up on my father after the surgery - for four days, no call, until I emailed him. My father was devastated. And, during my father's tumultous recovery, my brother never drove up to visit. A four freakin' hour drive, and he didn't even bother.
So, that's it, I'm not speaking to him and don't really think I ever will.

My 2 uncles from my mother's side. It's funny what happens to people when someone dies and their family fights over money...
We have the same situation in my family. My mother's siblings fought like cats and dogs when their parents died. My mom finally said she wanted nothing, they could take it, she was so sickened by them. I'm not sure all of them are even speaking with each other.

Eh, that's ok, I'll be the first to admit, it's kind of humorous. In fact, that's the very reason why we had a costume party rehearsal dinner - I didn't want everyone to walk away from the evening thinking, wow, Beth has a REALLY weird brother! So, instead, he was so infuriated all night because everyone kept telling him what a great, authentic looking costume he had!

Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
DH doesn't speak to his grandmother or uncle (and his wife). They had a fight with his mom 9 years ago and he sided with his mom. His mom got over it but he never did. They pretend he doesn't exist and I have never met them.

I speak to everyone in my family, but JT does not speak to ANYONE in his family. The reason being is that the breed ignorance and hate and and spend their lives looking for the negative and turning a blind eye to the positive.
I have a similar situation. I speak to everybody in my family, but DH doesn't speak to anyone. MIL and BIL are toxic and negative. FIL decided not to talk to us anymore because MIL is, besides all of the above, manipulative.... so it was her or us.

Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
I don't speak to my mother or father. Long story, not worth telling. However, it has been a good 6 years with my mom and almost 1 with my dad. It is sad when you are better off without toxic parents in your life.

Yes, one of my brothers.
Spent his entire life stealing from my parents and, although they always seem to forgive him, I cannot.
Me too! That and emotional abuse towards everyone around him. It still hurts me so much though.

On my side, I do my best to avoid my aunt. Mostly because she is a controlling, self-centered C***.

Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
We are currently not speaking to BIL and his wife. After 3 years, I am finally getting over the guilt (big misunderstanding) but you can't make people talk to you if they don't want to.

Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
I kinda wish I wasnt speaking to my father and his family although we still talk due to no effort on my part though. They are such rude,negative and miserable people...They are convinced my son has a speech problem (he is 2) because he doesnt speak to them- um no," He is shy and can sense your miserableness, his speech is great infact ahead of the game- he just doesnt like you! " I wish I could get them out of my life somehow, if anyone has any tips let me know-lol!!! Im such a pushover sometimes.

Re: Are you not on speaking terms with anyone in your immediate family???
I cut both of my cousins out of my life.
Best thing I ever did.
There's no need to have negative, bitter and nasty people in your life-- it only brings you down and that is their goal. It's a shame because it's my Mom's sister's children and it had a little bit of an affect on my Mom with "putting her in the middle"
But then when I would explain the behavior of my cousin's to my Mom she cannot deny it and often agrees that the way they act (there are two and one is worse than the other) is completely unacceptable.
It also bothers her a lot but she "deals with them" the best she can b/c they are "family". They have never been family to me so that is why I decided that I needed to take action and make my life positive and therefore, everyone in it should be the same.
It all boils down to jealousy- they will NEVER be happy... it's so sad.

Yes, my father. Why? Well because he is a messed up man with serious I hate woman issues. This all steaming from his mother leaving his dad for a chick way back in the day. He hasnt been able to have a "normal" relationship with a woman since. 5 wives later and he is still an azz. And I refuse to take the blame for HIS misfortunes in life, I will not be a part of that. He missed out, I had a wonderful family that he will never know.
ETA: I havent spoke to fathers family in almost 20 years. They can su ck a fat one too.
Same exact situation here, but for me it has been about 4 years.
