My father cut all communications with me because I refused to be supportive of scientology

"Parents who disowned a child"
*Not a parent, not disowned, not a human, but my cousin's uncle's brother's father's nephew's sister's grandson put their pet up for adoption once.

That last one is heartbreaking and you just know it's the step-mom's fault for damaging her at such a young age.

Story 10 - my own mother abandoned me when I was five. She never wanted a boy. When I was born and was told I was a boy, the first words to the doctor were CUT. IT. OFF! My father and his mother took care of me for the first couple of years of my life. When my father had enough of my mother and filed for divorce, she said she didn't want any visitation rights. Unfortunately, my father was killed by a drunk driver before the divorce was final and under state law, I was required to go to my mother. (This was 1970).
My mother moved us across the country and proceeded to try to turn me into a girl. Nothing but girls' clothes, girls' undergarments, and girls' toys. She would not let me make male friends and eventually moved us to a commune to keep away from those asking questions.
Finally, she had enough of me fighting not wanting to be a girl and sent me to her parents to take care of me. When I arrived, her parents contacted my father's mother (my Grandma) and told her either YOU take IT (yes, they used the word IT) or it goes to foster care.
My father's mother ended up raising me. Maybe not the ideal childhood, but at least my Grandma gave me all the love and chances you can give a child. It's where I should have gone as soon as my father died and nowadays, it's probably where I would have ended up to start with.

"What are some stories in which you disowned your child" First Story: So let me tell you how I disowned my dad.

[abdulhalim-jklz]

I was disowned because i decided to have two cats in my house. I was married and my wife had a cat and i adopted another one, and my mom hated it with full of her passion. She cursed and disowned me. I thought it was not that serious in the early stages, but when my wife was in hospital due to pregnancy issues and nearly died(survived) and my parents did not even come and visit us, thats when my perspective to my own parents changed. Yeah i might be a not so good kid. might rebelled a little but because of two cats i was disowned completely

My grandmother disowned my mother. My mom is a hard working amazing loving and caring woman who cares for our family. My grandmother disowned her because she was jealous about how happy my mom was with my dad and her kids aka me and my sister. After trying to ruin my moms life and failed she just stopped talking to us. Sooner than later no one spoke to my mom from that side since my grandmother was spreading lies about us. Now they put my dad in prison for something he didn’t do. All to ruin our lives… all it’s done was make is stronger. Thx for reading ❤

Edit: TYSM FOR THE LIKES OMG ❤️

The first one hits home. My father molested me. I cut him out of my heart, not my life. My mother was very dependent on him. So I couldn't cut him out of my life. I'm the second in terms of having cptsd. I'm an addict, a food addict that is. I'm super-morbidly obese which is terrible for my health.

Mother disowned me when I had a stroke!

It was because I was of no use to her anymore.
7 years later ( I was still in stroke recovery) Dad died & I wouldn't allow her to move in with me because she is lazy & refuses to do anything for herself. I was having enough trouble looking after my own day to day stuff & struggling to stay independent.

So she disowned me again!!

This time she also cut me from her will & declared that the daughter she move in with was now new her eldest child & would receive my share when she died.
( I would like to point out that I am NOT materialistic or $$ focused like her & her other daughters. So I really don't care that she has done that.)

I have had no contact with her since January 2019. It is THE best thing she ever did for me in my entire life. I am so much more happier & much less stressed. She stressed me out & caused my 2nd Stoke by screaming abuse at me while I was recovering from my 1st stroke. I don't have her doing cruel things to me or constantly ridiculing me or have her spewing hatred at me every chance she gets.

This is heartbreaking. My daughter ran away to "look for" my ex. If I had known why she ran away, I would have told her to look in the mirror. 15 years later, my beautiful, smart, funny, talented daughter is finding her way. Like Mulan, she is blooming late but will be "the most beautiful of them all." My ex is dead and at peace, but is buried alone.

Story 10 broke my heart. No child should ever have a mother like that. Good on OP for being a great dad!

[sugary]

Honestly I can’t believe how hard it must be to let go of someone you’ve known for almost their whole life; tbh I would break down.

I had to disown my father after he chose my abusive stepmother after she tried to kill me and sell me to a man I didn’t know for marriage. And he still denies she was abusive to this day, even after a messy divorce and after she tried to take his life and accuse him for crimes he didn’t commit.

He also sees me as nothing more than a baby factory and doesn’t like that I won’t put myself to death trying to have a child, when it would kill me to be pregnant in the first place-I can’t safely carry a child nor can I get my eggs taken out safely. He says that’s the only way I’d be a true woman in his eyes, a real person. Otherwise, I’m a failure. He talked about “breeding” me since I started puberty and was preparing me for motherhood and sexual exploitation by a rich husband for several years until I decided to take fate into my own hands and run off.

I have PTSD from it and can barely function on my own now thanks to it, but my miserable existence of constant medication and physical pain from the treatments is nothing compared to how karma bit my dad in the butt. He’s alone and miserable and has been taken to the cleaners twice now by ex-wives and is still confused as to why his family won’t talk to him, stating he has “different facts” in the story as he didn’t see any abuse going on even when he was in the room when the violence happened.

My husband was the one who opened my eyes and gave me a safe place to land when I made the massive jump into the unknown. I uprooted my whole life and stopped college just shy of graduation because I didn’t know if I was going to live until that next week. It’s been 6 years and the struggle still persists.

Its hard to imagine having to disown a child. Even if a child turns out to be a horrible monster of a person, and it's in no way the fault of the parent, the parent can never shake that from them. Knowing that the human they created and raised brought so much damage upon the world and to people and wondering if you could have done anything to stop is has got to a maddening experience.

[soullacerations]

Speaking as someone who knows the following firsthand, I have to say this: If you hate each other to the point where you literally cannot stand it, and MUST engage at every opportunity, just get the divorce. As a child of a couple like that, it would have been a LOT less painful dealing with a quick band-aid pull of a parent who didn't love me anyway, and treated me as such, instead of having to be subject to life with him. Just get the damned divorce. You and your kid will be MUCH happier, trust me.

My stepfather disowned my 9 siblings and myself after my mom passed away. Fast forward quite a few years and when his 2nd wife took everything he had, he was left penniless but refused to ask for help out of shame. We all became very successful without his help and were willing to help him but he ignored all of us. I guess he is still alive but he must be hiding under a rock somewhere. Irony is he disowned us because his 2nd wife wanted him to saying "those kids would just be a drain on us". We all retired early and I retired at the youngest age (42).

Im currently disowning my family. Due to financial reasons, ever since I was 18 they used to drain my money from each check . I thought it was a normal thing. Now im 31 and see how much trauma i went through and completely snapped. Makes me feel like i was born just to provide extra money for them. My hearts in a lonely dark place over it, but my life hasnt been the best so I guess maybe a new start is what I need. Away from all Ive ever known.
Its the ones closest to you that do the most damage.

I disowned my biological father. I've held a grunge against him as a result of the really nasty divorce he had with my mom. At first, it was if I ever saw him, I wanted to punch him and break his nose. Eventually, it got to the point where I wanted to kill him. That divorce fucked me up badly. His attitude towards me fucked me up even worse. When he died, I never shed a tear. I don't think I felt a thing. Or I was still numb from step grandma passed away.

[krembryle]

Mine parents disowned me because:
1) I disagreed with their opinions;
2) had my own opinions;
3) argued with them;
4) said that they ruined my life;
5) accused them of narcissism;
6) stopped talking to my abusive grandma;
7) dropped out of the hardest college in my country(I was going through many kind of issues, mainly my family drama, financial issues, finding a rent, mental breakdown and burnout...).
In other words, I stopped being an opinionless, easily manipulable child and failed to perform academically.
