The real reason adult kids go no contact

To understand why people go “no contact” with their families, it helps to define what a modern family is. Rin Reczek is professor of sociology and co-director of the Center for Aging Families at The Ohio State University. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss two distinct family units she calls “compulsory kinship” and “democratized kinship,” how they have changed over the years, and what people can lose — or gain — if they cut off contact. Her book is “Families We Lose: A New Explanation for Family Estrangement.”
