I don’t know the full situation with your kid, but that seems unusual if there is no context being left out. Acting like it’s an issue with an age group going no contact over “everything” is really disingenuous though.
Yeah. I’m sure it’s clickbait, but since comments here don’t earn anything, i don’t mind responding to it.
It’s super unusual. The last conversation was-
'How could you let him buy that?"
“He’s a 33 yr old man. We couldn’t stop him if we wanted to.”
My comment was poorly worded, out of frustration with my own situation and things I’ve read online about it. I didn’t mean everyone in that age group, but there’s definitely a demographic with whom it’s more common.
I also think it’s a fair assessment to say that younger gens are doing it more. I think in part it’s because there’s been a big cultural shift in such a small time period and a larger portion of the younger population has moved with it. It’s hard to act lovingly towards people who are in your view unrepentantly supporting backsliding on centuries of progress.
I obviously have no details about your relationship with your kids, and I know you didn’t ask, but it’s possible he’d be interested in explaining his thought process if he felt you’d be receptive to hearing him out. At least you’ll know why he blamed you for something you were powerless to stop. I’m always sad to hear about people going no contact because I have and I know how hard it is. The people were such big parts of my life and though I have gotten to a place where I don’t long to repair the relationship, if they reached out and I felt like they came with an open mind and an open heart I’d be glad for the chance. Sometimes it just takes someone reaching out. Maybe your son doesn’t feel the same way, but good luck to you both.

That’s fair.
