There’s a few. I had a very good friend here in Japan; a fellow American close in age. We went through a lot together and were very close. He had a problem with alcohol and women, though and there were times when it was hard being friends. Then he met [a drama queen](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=405981).From my last post on that: > [@](#): > > Bobby has been released from that duty as a best friend. He was demoted to a friend and then an acquaintance and then just someone I used to know. > > His [del]fucking crazy, psycho, drama queen from hell[/del] sweetie made sure that he never returned calls. He’s such a [del]codependent emasculated wimp [/del]loyal boyfriend that he ignored emails asking to discuss the issue so we haven’t talked for months. Little loss, though. And my [younger brother](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=477564). > [@](#): > > If there is any good to this, it’s that this may finally convince my mother of the futility of forking over cash to manipulative liars. I hope so. And [my older brother](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=437352) > [@](#): > > To my older brother. Actually, the good thing is that I had a chance to confront him a couple of years ago. > > You are a piece of shit. You not only raped me and our younger brother, but also several other boys from what you said. You were the mini-Dad and took out your frustrations on us younger ones. When I confronted you, you didn’t apologize, but instead told me how hard it had been for you over these years living with the knowledge of what you had done. Yeah, try being on the receiving side of it, asshole. > > His psycho wife decided that our family was “bad” once and cut all contact. She wouldn’t allow my mother to see or talk to her grandchildren. The bitch even cut up Valentines Day cards from my mom to the kids and sent them back. Just a sick, sick bitch. She did the same thing with her mother, so it wasn’t us at fault. > > So, to my older brother, for putting up with that and going along with it. Fuck off. I know you’re going back and secretly visiting Mom so that you lovely wife doesn’t find out, but I also know you’ve never asked anyone for forgiveness. As you say, you’re philosophical about it. > > Well, I’m going to be philosophical about this. Never show your fucking face to me, ever again. sigh. ---

My late husband’s mom. She hasn’t contacted me for about two years now, and I’m pretty happy with that. ---

My wife’s aunt. There was a family reunion this past weekend in Sacramento, and even though I knew there was never a likelihood that we would be able to attend (plans had been in the works since last fall), I ruled out the idea of us being there simply because I knew that she was going to be. The last time I was in the same building as her was at her sister’s memorial service (another aunt, not my mother-in-law) in 1997. One of the regrets I took away from that day is that I had not been able to prevent her from seeing our daughter (then an infant). ---

I had a very brief relationship with my father, then he decided booze was more important than family. The night after everything fell apart, I told him never to contact me again. And he didn’t. I didn’t see him again until I was at his funeral. I don’t regret it. ---

Well first when I was 9 I had this best friend in school id known since p1 and I’ve only sky per him once since so you know that’s a shame but this is my real story there was this guy I knew on Xbox a might him quite a bit a go and I play with him almost every day but there’s this guy called Ryan who used to be his friend but he started trolling the guy and things went to far and know I’m never going to see him again and on the 28th of May 2015 (one week from today) he’s shutting down his account he has shut down his Skype so Ryan can never find him again unless he meets him in a lobby randomly unfortunately if he tells me his new account and Ryan finds it on my friends well then it’ll just happen again so if you read this before the 28 th of May then my name on Xbox is kamino0368 and I’m building a big farewell gift on mine craft so send me a message on this and Xbox if you want to get Involved thank you and goodbye ---

I’m…not sure what this is. But I think it would be best if you started a new thread on this topic, **Nutty68**. I’m going to close this one. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-never-wanted-to-see-or-speak-to-someone-again/571169.md?page=3)
