Estranged family members

[buttons]

Estranged: Adjective(of a person) No longer close or affectionate to someone; alienated.

so for example, if your parents are divorced and you no longer hear from one of them. or you have a family member who has done a lot of damage to your family + so you don't keep in touch. or even just a whole side of your family.

ive been thinking about this a lot & gonna ask 2 questions, for ppl who already are estranged/not close to a family member/members.

1) would you invite them to your wedding?
2) would you go to their funeral?

i will post mine once others do

1) would you invite them to your wedding? no.
2) would you go to their funeral? yeah to celebrate

[lemons]

no and no

[karter]

there is no way i am inviting them to my wedding

funeral probably because not attending funerals is just disrespectful and uncultured and i wasnt raised in a jungle

[wixard]

my mum would make me do both out of respect
and i wouldn't refuse

i will not however, let my dad walk me down the aisle
my brother will do that, if it ever happens

[Cerys]

um ima do this about my dad who i hate with all my heart and i wish to never see/speak to him again. ever.

1) would you invite them to your wedding? no. or maybe yes and send him to the wrong location. ;/
2) would you go to their funeral? no .

yes im going to ask my eldest brother to do the same

would prob do more damage to not invite my other brother so i prob will but he will hopefully be a million miles away or in jail by that time, prob won't go to his funeral unless my mum is still alive, just to keep her happy.

wont invite my dad to my wedding incase he says no and if he does want to then he deserves to miss out seeing as he has missed out on my life since i was 12 anyways. prob not go to his funeral as hate his family n couldn't care less if they think im disrespectful. prob just go to the viewing of the body (w.e that's called) and/or pay my respects at the grave.

not going to my grandad, that's any easy one seeing as he doesn't even know me & prob won't go to my grans unless mum makes me, she usually gives me the choice tho unless its her own family (who i would go to)

My uncle is estranged, mum & man cut him off when he moved to Canada. Last I heard was about 10 years ago. I've found out I have at least 2 more cousins but I'm not supposed to know that - I'd like to meet them!

I wouldn't know how to invite him or anything but I would like to meet him again.

My dad is the only one I can think of oh and step dad but he's a **** so ye

I don't have any contact with my Dad's side of my family even though I still live with him. My mum and dad are seperated, and my Dad's side of my family can't stand my mum (they never did really), and with that they've pretty much bundled me and my mum together, which sucks.

I wouldn't invite them to my wedding, but would probably attend the funeral for my Dad.
