    “A study in 1997 explored family relationships in later life and found that 7 percent of adult children had cut ties with their mother and 27 percent from their father. In 2020, research by sociologist Karl Pillemar showed that 1 in 4 Americans are estranged from their families—roughly 67 million people.”

    From the second article that provides links to the studies

      Provide a citation that her kids have cut ties with her then because the stuff you’re posting isn’t about her family here.

        …“the old boomers that have kitchens talking about their “Kitchen Table issues.””

        This is what I was referring to and from the articles I thought that would be clear to anybody who read them and nested studies I linked

        Edit: Also it’s why I said “their” and not “her”
