The thread about the moron keeping his children away from his Trump-supporting father got me to wondering.

Hard to imagine non-abusive parents losing touch with their own adult children but it happens. Seems to happen quite a lot to those in retirement homes and care facilities.

So who knows anyone in a situation like that?

Closest I got is a friend alienated from a sibling who they despise.
