It is hard. But it gives you the opportunity to create your own family by connecting with people from school, work or community groups. Limited contact has worked better in my past.

It is a very lonely feeling. I suggest you keep in touch with some member of your family. I don't know how is your relationship with your family but some contact with family members does help

It's good and bad.... It's Bad because we all need some kind of family in our lives whether that be one person that your related too or all of your family, But if your family had a falling out or perhaps you had a falling out with a family member, Then some time without contact could possibly do some good. It really just depends on the situation.

It be can self isolating if you have no one else in your life. sometimes family can be toxic to your own well-being and sometimes in certain situations, it can enhance your life. So it really just comes down to whether the person who is having no contact, has support systems, as family are normally the "main support system" in most households.

It is definitely a hard process to go through. You may experience cut-offs from not only family but also friends that seem to have more ties with your families. I must also add, that not everybody can handel a cut-off.

It's hard. I mean family is the root of your foundation. Before you do that, you should definitely weigh the consequences of such a decision and see if it's still worth it. Depending on how detrimental your family may be to you, having no contact with your entire family can feel liberating. You won't be tied down to expectations anymore - though understand that you're cutting off one source of support network if you do so. Good luck!

It's kind of hard especially for those who have been living with their parents from the very beginning.

to go without contact with your entire family can be really tough. Camping is one of these situations. I've been before and got extremely homesick the first day, but as i went on it was a great trip! you just have to make the best with what, and who you have with you!
