[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was recently reading something about how family estrangement has been rising. I notice it in my personal life too with a lot of people I know not seeing their families for the holidays. What do you think is driving this increase?[/quote] 1. People being empowered to end abusive relationships. That’s great. 2. People redefining things they don’t like as abuse or mental illness and using #1 to justify ending relationships. Not good. 3. People underestimating the value of familial support networks (illness, divorce, financial crisis) and therefore being more willing to use #2. 4. Long distances between families (people living all over the country), lessening the importance of #3. 5. Divorces, remarriages. Bad blood and awkwardness ensues. 6. Overall increase in people thinking only about their own happiness and “mental health”. [/quote]
