It's a fact of life that siblings don't always get along (Sibling Rivalry, Cain and Abel, Aloof Big Brother, The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry, Sibling Murder... basically the "Brothers and Sisters" portion of Dysfunctional Family Index). While some siblings can stick together through thick and thin, sometimes a relationship is so horrible that one or both siblings decide that it's best to cut ties. There are a wide variety of reasons why a character might disown their sibling, and how sympathetic the disowner is depends on said reason. Sympathetic characters will disown their sibling(s) because of genuine awful behavior such as adultery, bullying, or turning their backs on their family. Unsympathetic characters might disown their siblings for selfish reasons such as being embarrassed by their siblings, money, or because they have no use for their siblings. Whether or not the siblings reconcile can vary. In situations where both siblings are sympathetic, they will usually forgive each other eventually. A sympathetic sibling might be willing to forgive their less likable sibling if the latter is truly repentant or if what they did isn't unforgivable. Unsympathetic siblings might have no problem going back to the one they disowned for personal benefit. Sibling counterpart to I Have No Son! and Disowned Parent. Compare Adopting the Abused, to which a once-abused person finds a healthy familial relationship. If someone in this relationship meets the sibling that once abused them, it should be expected for them to say who their family really is. As this can often be an Ending Trope, Expect Unmarked Spoilers. People do disown their siblings in real life, but considering how personal disowning can be, No Real Life Examples, Please! |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Subtly but clearly done with San (Ghidorah's former left head) towards his two elder brothers (Ghidorah's middle and right heads respectively). His elder brothers, Ichi and Ni, physically and verbally abused San with chronic frequency for eons when he was a part of Ghidorah before being severed, and they stopped giving him any affection billions of years ago. During San's Character Development since being separated from Ghidorah, he loses his reservations about going against and killing his evil brothers (who he mutually thinks physically aren't his brothers anymore since they no longer share a body), he doesn't mourn the possibility of Ichi and Ni dying permanently, and to drive the point home, San gradually transitions out of verbally and mentally referring to Ichi and Ni as "Eldest Brother" and "Elder Brother" in favor of referring to them as "the middle head" and "the right head". | |

Mad Men: Young Dick Whitman escaped his horrible family life by enlisting in the Korean War, and was then able to return home early by assuming the identity of his commanding officer Donald Draper, with everyone believing Whitman dead except for his brother Adam, who caught a glimpse of Dick on the train as he was delivering his own coffin. A decade later, Adam tracks down the now-successful ad man "Don Draper," but Don, fearing his lies will be exposed, wants nothing to do with him, and pays him $5,000 to get out of his life. Adam, shocked at his brother's coldness, and having no one else to turn to, hangs himself. | |

Star Trek: Discovery: Michael Burnham is the adoptive sister to the famous Mr. Spock, but it's revealed in Season 2 that he wants nothing to do with her. At first, "If Memory Serves" indicates that Burnham hurled several insults at him as a child as part of a misguided attempt to let her run away without putting Sarek's family at risk from Vulcan extremists, which she feels is what stunted his willingness to embrace his human side. However, it turns out he despises her not because of that argument, but because he thinks her trying to carry the burden of her family's death, the well-being of Sarek's family, and bearing responsibility for starting the Klingon-Federation War was selfish; said argument was just the first of many reasons why he rebuffed her attempts at reconciliation. He only forgives her when she learns the true reason behind her parents deaths, and admits that Spock had a point. | |

Loved and Lost: The manipulated Twilight Sparkle disowns her brother Shining Armor when she mistakenly believes Princess Cadance just became injured because of him as well as her former friends and Celestia. She also does that in retaliation of the way he renounced her at the wedding rehearsal, wording her words the same way he did. She does later regret this once she realizes how she's being manipulated and reconciles with Shining Armor who in turn owns up to his own actions toward her. | |

Harry Potter: Walburga Black disowned her son Sirius for running away from home. When Alphard (confirmed by Word of God, in the Black Family Tree, to be Walburga's brother) left his nephew Sirius money in his will, Walburga disowned him as well. It's implied earlier that many magical families disowned members who married muggles (non-magical people) or even children born to muggle couples (called "Mudbloods" by these families). This is made explicit in the last book by sisters Bellatrix and Narcissa, about the marriage their third sister, Andromeda: |

She considers her a lost cause and chooses to forsake her. Upon learning that Karala got pregnant with a human, Harulu is disgusted by this and kills her and her unborn son not only out of jealousy because Karala gets to be with the man she loved but also to salvage her family's reputation and keep the bloodlines pure. | |

In Lincoln is Done, Lincoln is extremely mad at his sisters for teasing him over seeing his butt, being overly nurturing when he injures his ankle, wrongly blaming him for clogging the toilet, and because he had a nightmare about them sending him to Hell. Throughout the fic, he refers to them as his "ex-sisters" or his "former sisters". | |

Feeling betrayed by both her family and the man she had fallen in love with, Amelia bitterly rejects Arthur's attempts at reconciling with her, openly stating that she no longer has a brother and ordering him to Get Out!, before dissolving into an intense screaming Heroic BSoD that will end with her becoming the bitter misanthropic old spinster that we all know from Great Expectations. | |

Apple Texts: Stories where the antagonist is the protagonist's toxic sibling will inevitably have the protagonist cut ties with their sibling. Some stories have toxic siblings cutting ties out of pride or because they feel being associated with the protagonist will make them look bad. While the protagonists are willing to cut their siblings out of their lives for good, the antagonists have no problem going back to their sibling when it's convenient. | |

American Dad!: In "There Will Be Bad Blood", Stan and his half-brother Rusty are at first on moderate terms, despite Stan passive-aggressively rubbing his family's apparent wealth in Rusty's face as a snide Thanksgiving tradition. However, once Stan sees Rusty's opulent home for the first time and realizes Rusty's family is a lot wealthier than Stan always assumed they were, the Smiths try to steal Rusty's home for themselves in a frankly pathetic manner, which involves kidnapping him, his wife, and kids in their sleep and putting them in the Smith house while the Smiths take Rusty's house. Rusty responds to this transgression by taking his house back with the security detail, and just before he sends the Smiths on their way, Rusty tells Stan that he'll kill him if he ever sees him again. Rusty shows no signs of backing down from this threat in the episode's ending, when he approaches a disheveled and dehydrated Stan with a shotgun for wandering into his land while Stan was lost in the desert. | |

The Owl House has a non-verbal example. Emperor Belos once looked up to his older brother, Caleb, and almost worshipped him as his idol. In fact, the reason why he turned into the deranged maniac that he is today was because of a desperate attempt to get approval from his brother. Near the end of the series, Belos gets a brief glimpse of Caleb's ghost, and the look on his face says more than words ever could: he is not happy. In Belos' pitiful attempt to try to still get Caleb's approval, he does nothing but stand there with a cold, dry look on his face. Even in death, Caleb knows that all of Belos' Fantastic Racism and murders of innocent lives is not worth it when he only did it simply because he Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality. A brother like Belos is no brother at all, and Caleb's ghost slowly fades away as Belos fruitlessly tries to talk him out of it. | |

Mortal Kombat: Bi-Han and Kuai Liang were once close, with Kuai Liang looking up to his older brother. But as Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot, the two have grown to despise each other; Sub-Zero for his brother's vile deeds, and Noob for his younger brother's perceived betrayal. Each has said to the other at one point or another "We share blood. We are not brothers." The story was reversed in Mortal Kombat 1, being very close previously, Bi-Han (Sub-Zero) is the traitor who killed his own father and turned his clan into an order of assassins and thieves while Kuai Liang (Scorpion) founds a new clan to honor his father's wishes. |

The first Lethal Panther revolves around a hitwoman, Miyamoto, trying to keep her secret life as an assassin a secret to her only living relative, her little brother Tom who's supposedly an art student studying in Paris. Turns out Tom is another hitman himself, on an assignment after Miyamoto's friend Sylvia. When Tom eventually kills Sylvia in front of Miyamoto, Miyamoto outright disowns her brother — it takes Tom pulling a Heroic Sacrifice to save his sister for her to accept him again. | |

Kaeloo: Played for Laughs with the Alpha Bitch Pretty, who keeps threatening to disown her twin sister Eugly if she doesn't do what she says. For example, in Episode 131, Pretty is in a bad mood and refuses to allow Eugly to be happy because she herself isn't. Kaeloo asks them to smile for a picture, and Pretty says that if Eugly smiles, she will no longer accept her as her sister. Played for Laughs again in Episode 209. Stumpy is forced to spend a day babysitting his annoying little sister, Nombril, who likes to spend her time following Stumpy around and trying to get his attention. When Kaeloo asks about it, Stumpy insists that he "has no sister" and spends most of the episode pretending he doesn't know who Nombril is. |

Wuthering Heights: After Isabella Linton elopes with Heathcliff, her brother Edgar's response is: "Trouble me no more about her. Hereafter she is only my sister in name: not because I disown her, but because she has disowned me." Thus Isabella has no one to turn to when her new husband turns abusive. The siblings eventually reconcile through letters after Isabella leaves Heathcliff, however, and twelve years later, Edgar is with her when she dies. | |

Daria: For years, Quinn refused to publicly acknowledge that Daria was her sister, referring to her as her "cousin", "au pair", and "foreign exchange student". She is willing to help Daria in "Ill", saying that skin-care crises transcend interpersonal conflicts. This finally changes in "Lucky Strike", when Quinn openly acknowledges that Daria is her sister. And "Aunt Nauseam" sees Quinn actively trying to mend their sibling bond after seeing the nightmarish relationship her own mother has with her sisters. Quinn even asks Daria if they'll end up like their mother and aunts. | |

Rain (2010): The title character has a strained relationship with her older siblings, fraternal twins Aiken and Kellen, not helped by both of them being insensitive at best, violently transphobic at worst in response to their younger sister's (formerly brother's) transgenderism. However, Rain disowns Kellen as her sister after the latter forcefully gives her a transphobic Traumatic Haircut in her sleep, and Kellen in turn calls Rain an embarrassment to be around. They are rebuilding bridges with each other by the comic's end, though. | |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades: Downplayed by Chela, who was forced by her powerful father not to acknowledge that Stacy Cornwallis is her illegitimate half-sister: they're officially cousins. According to a tradition common in the mage aristocracy, Stacy was raised in her mother's family to be a de facto Hidden Backup Princess should something happen to Chela, and shunned by her stepfather as a consequence without even being told the reason until she was ten years old. However, Chela still loves her even though they aren't allowed to acknowledge their real relationship, and deeply regrets the rift between them. | |

Shining is utterly furious with Twilight and yells at her for making his fiance cry. He then kicks her out of the wedding reception. Twilight takes this to mean that he's disowned her and breaks down in Tears of Remorse as a Dark Reprise of her "BBBFF"note Big Brother Best Friend Forever song plays. As it turns out, however, this wasn't Cadance at all, but Queen Chrysalis in disguise, and Twilight and Shining Armor work things out by the end. | |

But she's horrified when she learns how he used her clinic to turn the poor and sick of the Underworld into Unwitting Test Subjects for his experiments into making mankind immune to the cold. Natasha then disowned him and had him banished to the frozen wastes outside of Belobog. Oleg remarks that Vache likely would have been executed on the spot if Natasha weren't so clearly conflicted about this because of her familial love for Vache. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): Louis de Pointe du Lac is close to his family, and particularly with his sister Grace. After Louis is turned into a vampire in "In Throes of Increasing Wonder..." (which his family doesn't know about), his family relationships begin to become strained, though he tries to maintain them. He's now living with his new vampire lover Lestat de Lioncourt, who his family doesn't like because he's creepy and arrogant. Louis seldom visits his old home, and when he does, it's only at night because most vampires die when exposed to sunlight. There are a couple close calls with Louis's new vampire powers. In "...After the Phantoms of Your Former Self", he almost loses control and eats his baby nephew, and Grace returns to the living room to find her brother has fled and her son is alone on the floor crying. In "Is My Very Nature That of a Devil", Louis gets angry and accidently breaks the front doors of the family mansion with his supernatural strength. Over the decades, as Grace ages and Louis doesn't, she starts to register that as weird, too. She doesn't know he's a vampire per se, but she knows something happened, that he changed somehow. For her own sanity and for her family's safety, she has to write him off. The last time Louis sees Grace in "A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart", she shows him the headstone she had made for him to give herself closure for the brother she lost. | |

Gravity Falls: A key element of Stan Pines' backstory. After accidentally ruining his brother Ford's science project and wrecking his dream college enrollment, he is disowned by his family and kicked out of the house. At the end of the same episode, Stan and Ford pull this on each other, thirty years after the initial breakdown of their relationship: Ford is angry that Stan risked a possible The End of the World as We Know It scenario by saving him from the portal; Stan is angry that Ford isn't interested in thanking him for the thirty years he sacrificed to save him, and even angrier when he discovers that Ford wants him out of the Mystery Shack. For good measure, he says that Dipper and Mabel are the only family he has left. By the finale, they do patch things up, especially when Stan nearly sacrifices his memory to defeat Bill, finally making Ford realize how foolish he's been. | |
