Thanks for raising this aspect Steve as siblings and their whole place in the family as a unit is challenged and jeopardized when one sibling chooses NC. Aside from the dynamics between the siblings themselves, the parent relationship with the non estranged siblings is also under threat. Trying to be neutral (and curious at the same time) about the estranged AC while not jeopardizing the non estranged relationship(s) is a tight rope walk that no one wants to make.

I appreciate your thoughtful discussion of this topic

There is so much collateral damage that is unrealized or ignored even when forewarned and little to no empathy shown for those who are part of the collateral damage. It’s all so very sad.
