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?

    My entire family disowned me because of bullshit when I was 15 years old, I am now 38. I understand what you are going through. I have a very big family, and my family consists of 8 groups of family with different last names and not one likes each other. My aunt aida loves to say they her family beats on her when you see her in a public area. My uncle bill is so much of a drunk that he blew his own truck up because his current girlfriend would not let him drive to the store drunk to get more beer. My family filled with complete retards.

    When my paternal grandfather died things got nasty between my folks and my dad's cousin. It's weird because she is a cousin from my dad's mom's side of the family so she's only related to my grandfather by marriage, not by blood. My dad is an only child and the only children he has are my sister and I. Yet still his cousin was sniffing around for money, and bothering my parents.

    On the bright side her own brother thinks she's a petty, selfish person so that validated my parents and helped them feel better about the whole mess.

    I.. maybe u should convince your mom more in leaving them.. something happened to my family too but it's not as big as what happened to urs . like the hate was secret and they showed hate in other ways, but they claim that they love us, its like the family is broken in two (they're eight aunts and uncles) and i hated it.. it's still going on now, and, similar to yours, it also happened when my grandma passed away.

    It's okay i hope that someday you'll get over it , :)
