What To Do When Cancel Culture Invades Your Home

The theme of abandonment is widespread in today’s society, often influenced by government policies and cultural shifts. Individuals are increasingly severing ties with family members, often due to ideological differences stemming from the sexual revolution and a culture that prioritizes personal freedoms over family obligations.

1. Trends of Abandonment:

Adults show widespread abandonment of spouses and children through no-fault divorce and abortion.

Children often abandon their parents to care facilities, while parents leave children in daycare and schools lacking emotional support.

2. No Contact Movement:

Noelle Mering’s book, No Contact, discusses children cutting ties with family members over political and religious disagreements.

Many young people perceive political differences as moral failures, which legitimizes their decision to cut off relatives.

3. Mislabeling Trauma:

Mering highlights the trend of broadening the definition of trauma in society, which can trivialize real suffering.

This miscommunication is rooted in a cultural shift that has replaced objective morality with subjective psychological standards, leading to abuses in language and power dynamics.

4. Political and Social Ostracism:

Modern leftist movements label dissenters as immoral or hateful, creating a culture where reasonable disagreements can lead to isolation.

There is a growing use of ostracism as a tool to silence and marginalize views aligned with traditional morals.

5. Underlying Spiritual Crisis:

The abandonment theme reflects a deeper spiritual crisis, where the rejection of Christianity leads to societal dysfunction.

Mering advocates for spiritual tools like prayer and reflection as solutions to this issue.

Abandonment within families reveals broader societal and spiritual challenges. Mering’s work emphasizes the necessity of recognizing these dynamics and employing spiritual and moral frameworks to address the crisis, urging readers to reflect, pray, and seek truth in love to rebuild familial connections.
