A 23-year-old woman has been refusing to speak to her 45-year-old mother since Thanksgiving due to an argument over her new husband. The woman and her mother both suffer from migraines, which often leave them unable to function. On Thanksgiving, after informing her mother she was unlikely to attend due to a migraine, the woman’s mother’s husband sent her threatening messages. She was met with hostility and was subsequently removed from her mother’s car insurance policy. Despite her friends and uncle supporting her, she still feels guilty for cutting ties with her mother. Was cutting ties too far or was it justified?
