Why So Many Adults Are Cutting Off Their Parents

Original: Why Are So Many Adults Cutting Off Their Parents?

The Wall Street Journal examines why a growing number of adult children are going estranged from their parents, a trend increasingly discussed under the idea of going 'no contact'. The report explores what drives the splits, from family conflict and boundary disputes to therapy-influenced thinking about toxic relationships, and how parents on the other side are coping with the sudden loss of contact with their children.

Why now: Family estrangement is becoming more common and openly discussed, prompting debate about generational conflict and mental health.
