Understanding Family Estrangement
Family estrangement is increasingly common, with over 25% of adult children reporting some distance from their parents. The problem is particularly acute among younger generations, with factors such as generational trauma playing a significant role. Adult children may find it necessary to cut ties due to sustained patterns of toxic behaviors from their parents. It's emphasized that estrangement often stems from a desire for personal health rather than malice, as individuals seek to protect themselves from harmful dynamics that have persisted over time.
