[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost every family I know had estrangement once people hit middle age and parents die and estates get settled. In middle age people don't suffer fools well, they finally get boundaries after putting up with family with personality disorders and substance abuse problems.[/quote]

This. I think the title of the post is off. Estrangement even according to research develops over many years. You may think the final event is a crazy reason, but the break up was brewing for years or even decades.

Yes, I too have noticed after parents die estrangements can be more frequent when there was a lot of dysfunction. It also truly is shocking what people do toward the end. One of our siblings tapped right into mom to get her paying for private school, medical bills, legal fees. She set up something where it was automatic so she didn't have to keep begging for checks. She was also the one who didn't want mom evaluate for dementia. I guess if mom gets declared incompetent then she is afraid people could question the legality of her new found money geisers she tapped into from mom.[/quote]
