the reasons that you have given aren't enough for you to want to disown your family. believe it or not, family is the only ride hard people that you've got.

you're still 18 and I am sure in a few years you'll have different mindset than you have now.

If you think they are dumb why not encourage them and try get them necessary resources to improve if you are smart like you paint yourself. I sense pride in you and please, being an undergraduate at 18 doesn't make you any better than your siblings.

Your question is under the category "Law and Ethics" so legally you can disown your parent, you just have to convince the court that you can live without your parents and you agree that you will never claim any benefit from your parent. The court must be also convinced that you are taking this decision reasonably and knowing all the future consequences.
Now comes the ethical part, your parents are someone who gave you birth and they will continue to love you even if you are separated from them. They may appear harsh to you but your step will be ethically wrong. You are just 18 years of age, although you are an adult but still you are immature to take such extreme decision. I would advice you to reconsider your decision and try to make things work.

Obviously, since you know about autisim and down syndrome, you are not entirely an idiot as some people think. But really, you don't have to and shouldn't disown your family. You didn't have a choice in picking them, and you don't really get to choose if you still wanna be related to them. You still have to graduate from college, anyway. I assure you that if you haven't changed your mind, I'll help you deal with the whole bunch.

Seriously Something is wrong somewhere or maybe u and ur sisters are not of the same blood or u ask ur mom who is ur father she'll know.
Re: Is It Possible To Disown Your Family Members? by okirewaju(f): 12:36pm On Jul 06, 2014
You have to try and stop saying mean things about your sisters.

If they are ugly,its no fault of theirs and as for your sister been autistic, its not her fault either. You think she's happy been that way?

You don't just disown or walk away from family because of such issues, have you tried to help your sister's?

So what happens if you give birth to an autistic child? Are you going to throw it away?

Your sister's need love, give them attention. Stop seeing faults. You sister is getting obese, have you tried encouraging her to follow a planned diet? Both of you going for a run or long distance walk? Preparing a sumptous meal for her with lots of vegetables and less carb.?

Family is "blood", there is no perfect family any where. Work on yours.

I wish you well!!

Whatz all these am reading, u want to disown yr family becos they ve diff inabilities, hope u no u are the son of yr father, so u are a greater cheat, just check yr past r/ships and be truthful to yrself. U better start treating yr siblings well if u dont want yr children to be worse, take care of them and show them love. The mom u claim to love, will u make her happy by disownin yr family and y are u waitin to finish sch, it means u want to spend their money and dump them,watch out so yr wife doesnt squander yr money tomorrow and dump you. In fact they shd b d ones disownin a son and brother who thinks he is better than them becos God spared u to give yr parents hope.mtcheeeeew.

tensazangetsu: actually one of my sister's is autistic

It's no fault of hers she is autistic and the best toucan do as a brother is to provide her with support rather than label her. My advise is put in your beat in all you do and do not neglect your immediate family irrespective of their individual challenges.

You think that's enough reason to disown them? Do you know if they are just tolerating your own flaws out of love?
You may have the legal right to disown them eventually, but will you be morally justified?
BTW; by the time you are out of school maturity would've set in and you will prolly feel differently about your folks.

I don't think I will ever feel differently about my dad I love my mom though my sister's I don't like them especially the autistic one when I was in secondary school every one was always saying she's retarde.d she destroyed my social life then and the other one is getting too fat at an abysmal rate I just wanna leave them and take my mom and run far away to a different country and start life afresh.

OP is just 18. I have this feeling his stance will change by the time he's graduating.
Re: Is It Possible To Disown Your Family Members? by delpee(f): 11:37pm On Jul 06, 2014
You are looking at things from a selfish point of view. When life throws you lemons, learn to make lemonade. Anyway you are still young, plenty of time for lessons that will probably change your views.
BTW do you understand the meaning of 'love your neighbour asyourself'? Think deeply about that in relation to your sisters. Anyone can have an autistic child including you. Show them love not condemnation.

Your mom will not run away with you seeing as your Dad is her husband and your sisters are still her kids except she has confessed to you that she does not want them anymore.
