Recent Oprah Podcast Episode on "When Families Cut Ties" | December 2025

Curious what everyone here thought of this?

Some people thought Oprah was making estrangement into a "trend" and they objected to that. It didn't seem like a "trend" to me, so much as she was describing it as a "trend" in that more family members are becoming estranged from one another for various reasons.

I think a reasonable compromise to "no contact" might be "low contact" or "lower contact" for family members who find themselves in conflict.

Your thoughts?
