A Postmodern Pandemic of Cruelty to Parents
14th July 2023
There is a pandemic in the Western world — especially, but not only, in America — that few are talking about, let alone addressing.

This pandemic consists of adult children who have decided never again to speak to one or both of their parents. The vast majority of these people were never sexually or physically abused. In fact, nearly all were loved by their parents.
