Abstract: This article examines the phenomenon of family estrangement, particularly through the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals, challenging the notion that estrangement is a recent social trend driven by celebrity behavior and social media. It highlights the lack of consistent longitudinal data on estrangement rates while noting increased visibility and changing attitudes toward setting boundaries in family relationships. The piece emphasizes that many LGBTQ+ people have faced familial rejection long before current media attention, often due to cultural, religious, or identity-based conflicts, and underscores the importance of culturally competent, trauma-informed therapy that respects clients’ autonomy. It also discusses the role of "chosen families" as vital support networks for estranged LGBTQ+ individuals and calls for nuanced understanding beyond simplistic narratives of estrangement as a fad.
