I don't know how people can look around them and see a no contact epidemic, because when I think of my acquaintances, there are so many more people who try to make things work with their nightmare parents long after it has any hope.
I'm convinced the glut of articles is a mandate from management.
@annleckie.comNot gonna RS the thread that made me think about this (you've likely already seen it, or a similar one) BUT
Every person I know who has cut off or gone low contact with a parent took YEARS of agonizing and trying to make things work because damn that's their PARENTS.
