[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry what's your point?. Are you upset that it's easier to cut off s***** family members than it used to be?[/quote]

No, I think it's more common. The Atlantic article said it's more common. Other people disagree. I'm trying to figure out why they think it's not more common now than it used to be. And, for the record, I haven't cut anyone out nor do I know anyone who has. I'm not a grandmother either, my kids are quite young.[/quote]

It seems more common now because of how easy it is the keep in touch.  My grandmother lived an ocean away from her family.  They wrote letters, but almost never saw each other.  This was how most of her life went.  If her parents were toxic-af we'd have no idea.  If things soured, all you had to do was...stop writing letters.  But now when your mother can text you emotional manipulation right to your cell phone that you read in the middle of history class, it might seem more prudent to set firmer boundaries.[/quote]
