I appreciate I dont know the ins and outs of it, but how some people can say that about their Mother really is unbelievable. Id be lost without mine. She really is the only one who has stood by me through all the s
t, and there has been plenty of it.
Without wanting to sound harsh but if you read their posts they say "alcoholic and nasty with it" which I'd imagine is only scratching the surface...t, and there has been plenty of it. Mobile Chicane said:

My Mother. Alcoholic and nasty with it.
Same here. I can honestly say I'm glad she's dead.(I'm not saying there was anything you could have done with your mother

Happily, that applies to most. t, and there has been plenty of it. Alcoholics can be vile, and cruel almost beyond belief, particularly to their families
After a while its less painful to disconnect from them, than to keep contact and waste emotion on a shell.eldar said:

Moreover one of those who would blame everyone else for her (many) troubles rather than taking personal responsibility for anything.
Alcohol merely amplified all of this.
They say you can't choose your family. I can and I have.
I have one particlularly good friend. Best mates at school and for the past 20 odd years. Best man at my wedding. We are both only children and basically he fills in the brother role in my life. And me him I suspect.
Cousins and unlces/aunts on the other hand I can take or leave. Most family is on my mum's side and TBH I've never really thought much of them. I am a self confessed snob which doesn't help.
I have nothing in common with them, don't really like them and therefore have little or in most cases no contact with them. When my mum dies I suspect I shall never speak to them again.
I recently - via Facebook - got in touch with cousins in the states all on my late father's side. None of us had realy met each other before. The odd childhood meeting but that was all.
I met two of them, their kids and partners back in the summer. Really liked them but when we got talking I made my case plain. I like them so that is why I want to stay in touch. I'm not meeting up in future just because we are family. Its about who the people are - not what.
My wife has a huge extended family that I really don't get. Her mum's mum's sister's son's kid is of no interest to me, unless of course they turn out to be a nice person.
Families are just another type of people in your life. Stick with them if you want, but drop those you dislike
