What's Fuelling Family Estrangement? | The Agenda

Why are some adults distancing themselves from their parents or cutting ties completely? What's driving the shift in family dynamics in the age of identity politics, an emphasis on emotional well-being, and individual boundaries? We ask: Joshua Coleman, author of ,The Rules of Estrangement: Why Adult Children Cut Ties and How to Heal the Conflict;, Becca Bland, founder and CEO of Stand Alone UK, a charity supporting people who are estranged from their family or a key family member; and Saunia Ahmed, a psychologist at the Toronto Psychology Clinic.
