Is it normal for relatives to seperate like this?
This all started with money after grandfather died. My mom and her siblings stopped getting a long after that because of the land. Everyone started going at each others throats. We don't even meet for family gatherings anymore.
I don't get it. We were invited to my cousins wedding and the bride who we had never met had never introduced herself. No one introduced us to her and she was very rude but kind to other people. She was kind of a bitch but anyways- it has just been toxic.
Life has been better since the seperation and I don't even keep in contact with my cousins anymore because they were pretty abusive and mean.
I know this isn't normal but who else has had this happen?
I try to keep telling my mom to stop trying to interact with those people but she values family and it breaks my heart. I know my mom wants to feel a place of belonging but this "family" isn't the answer. They betlittle her, exclude her from knowning when someone dies, ignore her at the funerals and ect. One time my Aunt called my mom and called her a "bitch" for asking for her share of the money back.
This family is dysfunctional and I do get jealous when I see other peoples families get along. I kind of wish it was different. Is this normal?
Is there a way to legally disown a relative? Like my aunt, uncle and his/her family?
