Deep dives
Estrangement between adult children and parents is becoming more common
According to studies, a significant percentage of adult Americans, around 10% with mothers and close to 20% with fathers, have very limited or no contact with their parents. This phenomenon of estrangement has become relatively new and is often driven by changing societal attitudes towards parental responsibilities and increased focus on personal happiness and mental health. Estrangement can occur due to various reasons such as abuse, toxic behavior, mental illness, or even conflicts arising from political differences. Overall, this trend of increased estrangement suggests a growing problem of social isolation and weakening of family relationships.
