Is going no-contact with family a mistake or necessary? | Matt Monday

Is going no-contact with family a mistake or necessary? | Matt Monday

One of the biggest misconceptions about family estrangement is that people do it lightly. They don't. And for many, the reality is far more painful…


The truth is, most people don't create distance because they stopped caring. They do it after years, sometimes decades or even an entire lifetime, of trying to make the relationship work.


The tragedy of estrangement is that it's often not a choice between connection and distance. It's a choice between preserving a relationship and preserving yourself.


In this episode, I talk about why the growing backlash against estrangement misses that reality, and why what looks like ruthless rejection from the outside is often deep heartbreak on the inside.


If you've ever struggled with the guilt, grief, or bittersweet relief that comes with creating distance from someone you love, I hope this conversation helps you feel less alone.
