Blocking your mom: why adult children are going no contact

I think that's happening. I think technology also too plays a huge role, right? Like I think TikTok being a platform not just for getting snippets of information, but also really finding community and being more comfortable to open up about certain things.

Like now if I'm feeling silenced in a relationship, I can go on TikTok and I can find a whole group of people who can rally around me in that feeling, right? I can find support not just in the IRL, but on the online too in a different sort of meaningful way. So I think that those sort of things are playing together.

Oh, yeah. You're grateful you accept what it is because everybody's family has hardships and it's always hard, but we always love each other. I think builds a pressure that a lot of people either live with or they crumble under.

Oh, yeah. I think that really, I think the biggest nuance is that extra added layer of pressure and of obligation. You know, the family structure is not just induction. It's also a form of survival, right? Like when you come from these communities of people that have been historically oppressed, right?

Like that mentality of like, it's us against the world and we have to protect each other is so, so deep. And even in my own experience of estrangement as a black woman what does it mean to have to carry this idea that the world sees you as a pillar of your family of your community but you've made the choice not to be that pillar and to take a step back what a difficult thing to wrestle with

wow, yes, actually, family is an institution, right? And I think that transition of, oh, we're starting to think of family as an institution, that is something that needs to be critiqued. You know, I think that's the tension between that changing reality and what we've always known family to be as this core, as a stable, as this personal, very personal thing.
