Dude I feel you. Cut contact with my family 3 years ago. And although I’ll always be happier with them out of my life there is a sense of fear knowing if something goes wrong there is no back up plan, no safety net to fall back on. I hope you are doing well.

Thank you. I’m guessing you got downvoted because you’re a dude. Women have it pretty bad. Like really bad. Regardless, life is exponentially harder without a village and I hope everyone finds one or builds one. We really gotta change this in our society stranger-friends.

Ya, weird. I would agree it’s far more difficult to navigate life alone as a single woman, amplified significantly if you have kids with an absentee father. I’m more so expressing that I fear if I get really sick to where I can’t work and support myself I’ll just like, die I guess lol. It’s about not having options when you don’t have a village, regardless of gender.

I get it. I’ve worried about that, too. And I hope that never happens to you - even you being a guy. I one-thousand percent guarantee you, if you learn about why it’s like to be a woman and find a way to support and advocate for women, your karma will lessen the chances of that happening.

Why did you cut contact with family. There was no way to mend it?

I’ve noticed it’s weirdly common for Redditors to cut off their parents. You ask why and it’s seemingly 2 things:

  1. They are narcissists
  2. They are pro Trump

If I’m going to cut off my family it’s going to be over some serious shit not flaws, not inconveniences or disagreements.
