Would you disown your mother? If so, why>?

This is a difficult question to answer. I think we often try to see only the good in our parents, and forgive them for things, we would never forgive others for.

I believe there is a point though, were the only option for you is to leave the relationship and disown them. I haven't done it myself, but there are times I have contemplated it.

I come from a single parent family, my mother is an alcoholic and is often violent, I have severe depression from my family problems, and sometimes ask my self "why I put up with it?" The answer is not always clear.

I am often worried that it would be selfish of me to give up, and walk away, but I do think there is a point were for your own happiness and health, you have to leave.

If you are thinking about it, I think you need to ask yourself if the reasons for leaving are genuine, and not just because of an argument, and whether your leaving because its the best thing you could do for yourself. Would you be healthier away? I hope this helps, I am sorry its a bit vague.

Take care of yourself. Emmalisa x

I have disowned my dad i wont say why and then i fell out with my mum for about a year and it was horrible i hated it. We have made it up now and i never want to fall out with her again even if she still drives me made sometimes.

No, I love her, but she sometimes doesnt like me. She used to get drunk and call me names. She said that I was "half a man" and that I am in love with all my female friends but they dont like me. She goes through my phone messages, and my journals, etc. She doesnt drink anymore (I threatened that I would move out), but she does invade my privacy and we fight alot.

why would you disown your mother for???

No, my mom raised me as a single parent is the most loving/beautiful person I know.

I love her, even if we argue.
