My grandfather didn’t stay in contact with his family much due to racism. He got a job and faced discrimination. He was worried that he would lose his job if he stayed in contact with them. His bosses threatened him to stop contacting them so he did.

This was more than 50 years ago.

It was more common back then for people to clip their kid's wings to keep them nearby. They needed some of the kids to stay around to do the physical labor of the farm or to run the business. These days it's only the insecure or attention driven parents who do this to their kids. We know they need to fly and plenty of kids post WW2 knew back then and left their hometowns for work.[/quote]
