There is a trend these days of adult children who were loved and supported, and in no way abused, going "no contact (NC)." Some others and I would like to start a support group for the parents trying to cope with this kind of situation.

Does anyone know what the steps are to start a group?

Why would a child/partner/spouse go NC (no contact)? Could there be a lack of communication or loss of interest in the relationship? I think I understand the dynamics of the group but am not sure if my situation qualifies. I think the first step would be creating a name or interest topic for the group.

Hi ann bog, the name of the group is "Parents of Estranged Adult Children."

Couldn't this be a thread in the "Relationships & Communications?" I think such a topic as you propose could potentially be a hotbed of disagreement and grievances on both sides. I'm not saying it should not be a thread, but worried a whole "group" may not be prudent.

I'm sorry for parents who feel neglected by their children, and vice versa. However, this new time/age has changed expectations in certain ways compared to the past. Social media, texting, etc, plus other factors. I, personally, see some changes as good and others not so good. Plus, even beyond this "new time" there ate other complicated factors behind relationship issues. Blatant abuse is at the extreme end.

Just my opinion. I know people see things differently for various reasons.
