Unpacking estrangement: Who goes No Contact?
About this episode
The episode explores the no-contact movement and its implications on family dynamics, particularly focusing on racial differences in estrangement.
Is there a family estrangement epidemic? This week, we dig into what’s behind the no-contact movement with sociologist Rin Reczek, author of the new book, “Families We Lose.” Rin walks us through who gets cut off, why the numbers look so different for Black mothers and Black fathers, and how we can start rethinking what family means.
