Hello
I sometimes hear about adult children going no contact with their parents due to complex relationships or difficult histories, but I haven’t seen as much discussion from the perspective of parents who’ve had to consider low or no contact with their adult children.
I’m posting as a sibling. My parents have a challenging relationship with my sibling, and while they’re not considering going completely no contact, they are thinking about shifting to low contact for their own well-being. This has been a really difficult time for them, and I’m trying to be as supportive as I can.
If any of you have experience as parents who’ve chosen low or no contact with an adult child, can you share? What led to your decision? How did you do it? Was it face to face, through a text, or something else? Did you feel the need to provide an explanation? Just a short message?
