[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect people who go no contact with relatives who have NO clue why it is happening were encouraged to do so by some well-meaning friend or therapist who is putting their own issues into their advice and justifying and even selling it as “protecting your own mental health”
It’s a toxic practice that tends to spread from one mal-adjusted person to another because sometimes misery loves company.[/quote]

This is all over DCUM. It's bizarre how many people think cutting people off -- friends or family -- is a good solution to difficulty. Estrangement is for really, really bad things.[/quote]

Estrangement is the "popular" thing to deploy nowadays. [/quote]
Agree, it’s being misused by misguided immature people looking for an easy way out.

In those cases it’s stonewalling instead of conflict resolution.

It’s like my 12 yo this AM not giving her sister what she had asked for and then throwing it in her face. 12 yo got in trouble, tried to stonewall and deflect and blame it on her father, who ordered her to hand it over.

Round and round they go: no one is mature enough to be accountable for their own actions. [/quote]
