[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

38% of American adults are estranged from at least one close family member.

That's a remarkably high number.

What's especially interesting is that parents and adult children often tell completely different stories about why the relationship broke down.

When adult children are asked why they have become estranged from a parent, the most common answers include toxic behavior and feeling unsupported.

But when parents are asked why they are estranged from an adult child, the most common answer is simple: "I don't know."

Of course, some parents may be unwilling to acknowledge their role in the conflict. But the gap itself is worth paying attention to. It suggests that many family ruptures are not simply the result of disagreement. They are the result of two people experiencing the same relationship in fundamentally different ways.

One person feels wounded. The other feels confused.

One person feels relief. The other feels grief.

In this week's episode of Office Hours, I discuss what's driving the rise in family estrangement and why conflicts over values and identity have become so difficult to repair. Most importantly, I explore what it actually takes to mend broken relationships: the difference between healthy boundaries and permanent rupture, and the two qualities that help families overcome deep disagreement and stay connected.

Many people seem shocked by what’s happening, most recently in the Minneapolis and Greenland conflicts, though also in many other ways over the last year.

In my opinion, that’s because they don’t understand what’s going on with the breakdown of the post-World War II monetary, domestic political, and international political orders. This is happening in classic Big Cycle ways that have repeated throughout history and were laid out in detail in my book, Principles for Dealing With the Changing World Order, which I wrote about five years ago. In that book, I described how the Big Cycle unfolds in stages with clear characteristics, and I outlined the cause-and-effect relationships one can follow to identify where we are in the Big Cycle and what is likely to happen next.

With that perspective, it is clear to me that we are in Stage 5 (the pre-breakdown of the orders period) and on the brink of Stage 6 (the breaking down of the old orders). In my latest article, I review the developments that characterize Stages 5 and 6 and relate them to what is happening.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

History shows us that having too much debt during an economic downturn leads to a classic, self-reinforcing cycle where:

1) The empire can no longer borrow the money to repay its debts
2) It prints a lot of new money, which devalues the currency and raises inflation
3) Living standards decline, leading to the rise of political extremism
4) Turbulent economic conditions undermine productivity and there is conflict about how to divide the shrinking resources
5) Populist leaders emerge pledging to take control and bring about order
