[quote=Anonymous]There has always been estrangement. It just didn't have a therapeutic term and people didn't talk about it. I know my grandmother was estranged from a sister who lived fairly close by. She never talked about it or named it as such. People also moved away and it was a way to break ties, intentionally or not. I think of lots of families I knew growing up, they had relatives in other states they never saw or talked to. They were not close. I don't know if it was estrangement because again, people didn't share as much about their personal lives. They didn't even know what their parents felt about it. And also, people don't put up with abuse like they used to and feel more free to question assumptions like why they see people who actually treat them badly. This seems like a good thing. [/quote]
