re: Would you refuse to speak to your adult kids if they changed their religious beliefs?

A girl I went to college with came from a family that (1) did not have a lot of money and (2) were all members of a "holy roller" type church that was very controlling.
She defected during college and the family disowned her. The church was local and it was very aggressive in trying to stop her from leaving.
She married a guy that was from a very wealthy family. Many years later, her family was destitute needing money. They asked her for help (the first communications in years). She ignored them, and she ignored them in the right way (by not responding in any way, the best way to avoid drama).
Karma was well served.
Not sure anyone won in this situation. Cutting off family is a net loss.

I know you mean well with this statement, and you're correct, right up to the point that your family becomes a toxin that stops you from succeeding in life. For a small minority of people, family is the only thing stopping them from becoming better people.
