I actually had a family member (by marriage) DISOWN ME, yesterday, because I guess Sian's death was her tipping point with me. Apparently the epic level flea situation is all my fault because I'm not doing enough to save kittens. She's a bit of a nut case, to begin with. The kind of self righteous vegan who loves to shame non-vegans, an anti-vaxxer and self designated expert on animal rights and rescues. She let me know of my disownment 'situation' via FB Messenger, right after we had finished Sian's burial. I immediately blocked her on all social media and my phone. Somehow I doubt she expected that. Also let the rest of the family know what she wrote. We were all at our wits end with her, anyway, but for her to pull that nonsense while I was still in shock is not going to bode well for her.

It's a good thing to know because she and her husband, who is related to me, are beneficiaries in my estate so I'm going to rectify that, ASAP.
