the worst one i know about is that my great aunt (?), sister to my great grandma, ran off with a bootlegger in the 1920s, and the family told her it was a terrible idea that it would ruin her life etc. but she did it anyway. moved the chicago, etc.
then 6 months later they got a letter that said "yeah hes a dick, i dumped him, but i totally understand if i've been disowned on account of my actions, please write back if im not, id like to come home"
and the letter had no return address.
so even though the family would have welcomed her back, she probably never knew and took the lack of letter back from her family as them having disowned her.
